The
Practitioner: Kendra has her Bachelor’s degree
in Biopsychology from Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts.
As a means to further pursue her interest of healing in
other cultures, she traveled to India, Nepal, and Tibet
to study Tibetan Buddhism and traditional Tibetan medicine.
She then went on to continue her studies at the New England
School of Acupuncture in Boston, Massachusetts, the oldest
and one of the most progressive acupuncture schools in the
country. Kendra is NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification
Association) trained and certified, and has worked in recovery
shelters, hospital units, and free acupuncture clinics.
She has also worked in the field of clinical research, participating
in the completion of studies in mind/body medicine at the
Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston.
Kendra has a special interest in women’s health,
and focuses her practice on all transitions in a woman’s
life, from the first menstrual cycle to menopause. She is
a professional member of RESOLVE (the National Infertility
Association) and the Oregon Acupuncture Association.

In her free time, Kendra is very actively involved in the
community of the Shambhala Meditation Center of Portland.
She is an avid yoga practitioner and loves to go trail running
with her dogs. She shares her passion and interest of all
natural healing modalities with her husband, Igor, who is
a naturopathic physician.
Vision Statement: The primary goal of
this clinic is to provide whole body health care in an environment
that is warm, comfortable, and professional. My intention
as a health practitioner is to aid my patients towards a
greater awareness of what health means for them. Acupuncture
and Chinese herbs have the ability to heal on many different
levels and the journey towards health is unique for every
patient. It is my hope that through education, an open mind,
and a supportive environment, every patient will find new
growth in his or her life. |
