Hi, I’m Kimberly Anne Lim Andrade (she/her), first generation Asian American of Chinese and Filipina descent. I was born on the land of the Algonquin people, present-day Washington, D.C. and raised in Maryland. I recognize a lot of the person I am today from my growing up playing music, dancing, and consistent engagement in sports. I left a corporate job in design to pursue personal intrinsic goals. The practice and teaching of yoga was a catalyst. My exploration of it enhanced spiritual growth, shifted a relationship with trauma, and propelled natural interests towards the human body and understanding others. This trajectory, along with becoming a certified health coach, helped establish a sense of self through service and one-on-one connection. It wasn’t until I gave birth to my son, who was diagnosed with epilepsy at six months old, that ignited my heart towards alternative healthcare. Seeking non-invasive ways to treat him, we found shelter and success with a pediatric acupuncturist. Acupuncture school wasn’t available for me at the time I decided on re-invention. Massage therapy became a complementary extension to teaching yoga, and I am a graduate from East West College of Healing Arts. It has been through bodywork, movement, and breath I’ve affirmed lifelong energetic gifts. My massage style is intuitive and detail oriented, founded on Structural Integration techniques and Eastern principles. Currently, I am expanding my learning of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Oregon College of Orinetal Medicine. In my spare time, I welcome the nourishment of outdoor adventure, camping, hiking, board sports, bouldering, and bike rides. There’s something about a good side stretch, foggy mornings, sharing food, snuggles, and the sound of the ocean. (OR License #25184)

Greetings! I am Lara Dilkes, Licensed Acupuncturist, herbalist, cupping specialist and practitioner of all things Chinese Medicine. I own and practice at PDX Acupuncture, in downtown Portland, OR. I am also a Certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner.

I began my acupuncture career 13 years ago with the intent to help humans on their path to optimal health. I was inspired by a man in Hope, Alaska. I heard about this magical ‘healer of the town” when I was working in the fishing industry in Valdez. I had the opportunity to spend some time with him at the end of my fishing summer. He had a big room filled with tinctures, kombucha, vinegar, and herbs. He also practiced Shiatsu. After my time spent observing him for a week or so, and that got my fire going for being just like him! It was shortly after that I started my educational path to my Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

If you ever had acupuncture you know it is so incredibly helpful for pretty much everything. We truly love to treat all humans of any race, gender and socio-economic status who want to shift their health in any way that would make them just feel better.

I specialize in acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain, migraines and headaches paired with chronic and continuing diseases. For example, you pulled your low back out, and you also have diabetes, or lupus or hight blood pressure that you struggle to manage in conventional ways, I am the practitioner for you!

I love to treat low back strains paired and post surgery symptoms. Bring me your rusty hinge back aches!! I also love shoulder strains. I see a lot of patients that work in an office setting and have imbalanced back muscles and chronic neck pain from the prolonged sitting combined with stress. As an avid fitness lover myself, I really enjoy working with athletes to improve their performance and help them maintain their rigorous workout regimens.

I have a special place in my heart that lights up when I get to help women navigate hormonal rhythms and understand their bodies on a more intimate level. I especially love working with young women who are exppriencing difficult periods or that have experienced trauma. I am a good place to start. If your case is over my head, or if you are TTC and it’s complicated, rest assured I will refer you to a more qualified practitioner.

I really love breaking down and investigating the root of complex digestive and auto-immune disorders. My Functional Nutrition training is really helpful for uncovering the root of the very complicated set of symptoms that present with these chronic diseases.

My deeper passion as of late has been to assist my patients with stress induced symptoms are a part of our everyday life in our modern lifestyles and reduce the symptoms that come from prolonged stress. I’ve been creating Herbal Elixirs with adaptogenic herbs for the last 10 years and it’s super fun!

Lastly, I have had the opportunity to work with a large handful of patients that are experiencing tinnitus, and men experiencing unexplained pelvic pain with pretty darn good success.

If you would like to go a little deeper with me about my path to acupuncture….

My practice is successful because acupuncture works, herbs heal, moxa feels good, cups are amazing, I have stellar staff, and I am happy!

**But, it was not until I started to see my patients return with the same pains that were resolved months before, that I wanted to dive deeper in a way to get to the true root of the problem. ** FOOD was my answer!

I decided to train with Andrea Nakayama and enrolled in her Functional Nutrition Licensed Practitioner certification program. It was then that I really discovered what was really motivating me to be the practitioner I am when we were encouraged to dive deep into our “WHY” we practice.

I remember being in about 3rd grade… lying in bed.. Aspergum, jello and water by my bedside. I felt terrible and was a very sick little girl. I was in that bed long enough for my classmates to write me get well cards. Some nasty viruses and bacteria had taken residence in me. Tonsillitis, pneumonia, strep throat. I felt awful. But, what made me feel the worst during that time was that I was mostly alone. My mom was a single mother and had to go to work. **I slept most of the day, but waking up and not having anyone there was really painful for my spirit. ** That pain has followed me up through the start of my current 13 year long practice, my marriage, it’s end, and with the birth of my two beautiful boys. But it was not until recently, when I really started to examine why I practice medicine the way I do, that I realized that experience alone at home was a very pivotal experience for me.

I learned that I don’t want any human to bear the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual pain of walking on their path to optimum health ALONE. It pains me to think of all the patients that have walked out of conventional and even some natural medicine practitioners’ offices feeling like they told their story, and were not even heard, seen or had a shred of empathy enter the space between them.

Taking interest in how others really feel and having a true intention and passion to want them to feel better has always been very natural for me. My mom used to say that as a child I would often ask adults how they were. They would always look a little surprised when I was intent on finding out the answer! I really wanted to know, and cared about how they were!

**If you are experiencing any sort of ill health, I would be delighted to dive deep with you, and be your partner on your path to amazing health. I love more than ever to see people shift their health toward OPTIMAL. **

**If you live in Portland, we can do physical medicine with Acupuncture and Massage and Functional Nutrition. If you live out of state or in Portland we are happy to provide our Functional Nutrition Services via telemedicine. **

I look forward to helping you on your path to balance, calm, fullness and joy!

When Lara is not treating patients or running the clinic, you can find her on a bike ride with her boys, or running in the city or Forest park trail, doing laps in the pool or jumping into a swimming hole, playing herbalist in her at-home apothecary making elixirs, tinctures and salves, enjoying Oregon’s Gorge life and putting her toes in the ocean, or hanging out on some sort of board, also very much feed her soul.

Her most recent pastime during the pandemic is relaxing and listening to music or audiobooks on the porch with her boys at her house watching all of the families ride bikes by. License #AC01068

Hello, I am Lindsey Dority, Licensed Acupuncturist. I am so happy to meet you and introduce myself and share my journey to finding my career in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I discovered this transformational medicine in my 20’s and it allowed me to find solutions to my frustrating health issues that Western Medicine could not solve. My symptoms were being treated, but not the underlying issue, similar to putting out fires while leaving the coals burning. One day while traveling home from work, I found myself turning into the acupuncture school near my home. I began treatment with a talented practitioner and the effectiveness of acupuncture on my health was profound. During treatment, I had an epiphany while needles were in my body that I wanted to do this! I imagined myself helping people find their way back to health and vitality and it felt exhilarating! I feel so grateful to have found my calling. In 2006, I attended the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. After graduating, I began treating patients at a private practice and working at a community acupuncture clinic. The 8 years spent treating in community acupuncture clinics in Portland and Eugene allowed me to treat all sorts of different ailments and hone my treatment skills. I later worked in a clinic that specializes in women’s fertility, prenatal and postpartum care. After 12 years of treating patients with acupuncture, I can honestly say that my work is a joy and I feel so honored to be part of my patient’s healing journey!

I am particularly intrigued about the gut-brain connection, and am learning as much as I can about it. I find that helping my patients with their GI distress often helps them feel better mentally and emotionally. I am very passionate about providing appropriate and effective support while they navigate their mental and emotional wellbeing. I have been extensively studying the effects of trauma on the mind and body. Acupuncture can be used as a tool to help the body release trauma and settle the nervous system. The interconnectedness of the body and mind is ever-present in Chinese Medicine. During treatments, I will often bring in visualizations and grounding exercises to help the mind reintegrate with the body. After experiencing some severe low back pain myself, I focused on learning how to treat this area of the body. I feel extremely comfortable treating and helping with low back pain. I am thrilled to be a part of the team at PDX Acupuncture and I look forward to meeting you and becoming part of your acupuncture support network! OR License # AC150296

Hi! I am Stephanie Selinger, a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner specializing in root-cause health and healing, a Restorative Wellness Practitioner level 1 (Gut Health). I have additional training in functional blood chemistry, pre-conception, and fertility nutrition with Integrative Women’s Health Institute. Knowing that nutrition and supplements can be very bio-individual, I went on to learn the Morphogenic Field Technique and The Emotion Code, non-invasive forms of muscle testing and energy work to really hone in on each of my client’s specific nutrition and supplement needs as well as to release emotional blockages impeding healing.

I believe that everyone deserves to live a vibrant and healthy life and this can be achieved far easier than we are led to believe. There is so much misinformation and confusion in the wellness industry today and I’m passionate about bringing easy, sustainable, and practical health principles to busy, stressed-out people who really need the help. I believe that acupuncture and all of the work that we do at PDX Acupuncture is a wonderful complement to the work that I do in functional nutrition and wellness and I am so excited to work alongside the amazing practitioners at PDX Acupuncture and work together to help people feel their best. I believe the foundations of healing and health involve working on the nervous system, stress management, trauma, and physical and emotional well-being in addition to nourishing the body with good food and nutrients. I arm my clients with practical and achievable nutrition advice, manageable lifestyle tips, and targeted supplements so they feel good, have energy, and aren’t as overwhelmed.

As a stressed-out, busy professional and working mom for many years, I developed multiple food sensitivities, serious brain fog, and digestive problems and was always exhausted. I eventually left my corporate career behind and began studying functional nutrition with a deep dive into gut health (a huge passion of mine given my own symptoms) to learn more functional and holistic ways to help others as I began my own healing journey. I believe that being on a challenging healing journey myself over the last 15 years helps me to be a more compassionate and qualified practitioner to others.

It is important for me to note that I take a weight-neutral approach in my practice. Food and nutrition can be powerful healing strategies but are also a challenge for many people in the form of deep-rooted life experiences, emotions, opinions, and beliefs. I am a proponent of balanced eating, and physical activity that makes you feel good, and I respect bodies of all shapes and sizes.

I support people with: - Digestive symptoms: bloating, constipation, reflux, GERD, Heartburn, leaky gut, IBS, SIBO, Candida

• Autoimmune conditions

• Diabetes and pre-diabetes

• Chronic fatigue

• Brain fog

• Skin issues and symptoms: eczema, acne, psoriasis, rosacea, acne

• Hormonal imbalances

• Fertility issues

• Sleep issues

• Mood imbalances

• Chronic pain

I live in Portland, OR with my partner, tween daughter, and adopted silky terrier. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest with my family and friends, studying German, and sprinting at my local high school track. I can’t wait to meet you!
