It is the home of Beth Griffing, who attended Reed College and then the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, studying with some of the brightest minds in the field. Then followed an extended trip to Thailand, where Beth pursued the study of Thai Traditional Massage and observed with Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital administrators. After learning about the integrative management of acupuncture in hospital and clinic settings, Beth returned to Portland in 2012 inspired and fired up to create an integrative practice.
