Marissa is an Oregon board certified naturopathic physician, as well as Nationally Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture through the NCCAOM. She graduated from the National University of Natural Medicine with a doctorate in Natural Medicine and Master of Science in Oriental Medicine, where she also received massage education.

Marissa focuses on women’s and reproductive health, and offers pelvic floor therapy. She also has a clinical interest in mental health, chronic illnesses, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal issues.

Gentle healing modalities are central to Marissa’s practice, which provides a fusion of gentle Japanese-style acupuncture with craniosacral and myofascial therapies. She is regularly amazed by how much insight the body holds within the various systems and layers of tissue, and continues to learn from her patients. Marissa also uses homeopathy, nutrition, nature cure, Chinese herbal medicine, and other methods of Chinese medicine to help her patients regain health and comfort through their own innate vital forces.
