I offer no creed. I offer myself, my heart of wisdom, strange warm cavern where the voice of the oracle steams in from the unknown; I offer my consciousness which hears the voice; and I offer my mind and my will, for the battle against every obstacle to respond to the voice of life.
—DH Lawrence
In the summer of 2024, I shared that I was having a baby and moving my life and practice fully to the Gorge. This is something that I have been working towards and dreaming into for many years now, and it has arrived! This is a celebratory moment of my own evolution and becoming, my own path of life. And, I am thrilled to be able to share it with you in all its forms.
I will be starting the first week of January 2025 with Monday mornings at my office in White Salmon for hands-on in-person appointments. I will also be offering online and homeopathic consultations on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. We will build from there. Please let me know if you're interested and we can schedule accordingly beginning on January 6. Feel free to reach out with a specific day/time or a note of interest and flexibility. The online scheduling system is not set-up yet. Any questions are welcome.
For those interested in keeping their care team local to Portland, I have compiled a list of referrals:

Emily Lichtenheld LAc (she/her)
4605 NE Fremont Suite 201B
Please email crescentwellnessgroup@gmail.com and mention you are a patient of Amber’s
Available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 10-5
My practice is primarily focused on emotional healing, integration and exploration. I also work with people who are living with the effects of trauma, stress and burnout. Anxiety, insomnia, feelings of depletion and depression, discontent, digestive upset, fatigue, irritability and aches and pains are all examples of messages alerting us to a need that is not being met. Through gentle acupuncture, bodywork and emotional healing via trauma-informed Five Element theory, we decode these messages together. If you are unsure if we are a good fit, feel free to write me an email and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

melinda@dragonrisesportland.com or 971-808-7178
Available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 8-6
Typically available within a month, but can often get folks in sooner on cancellation
Hello, I’m Melinda and it’s an honor to be contacted as one of Amber’s trusted colleagues to support her beloved patients in the transition from her care to another. Amber and I went to school together at NUNM. My acupuncture and herbal practice believes in the wholeness and integrity of each person that comes in to see me for a treatment. Honoring the inherent wisdom and intelligence of the body supports a co-creation: a relationship with you, and your own body — and me, acting a bit of an interpreter and facilitator of healing. In my highest ambitions, our shared work is able to shed light on the ways in which your body has attempted to support you throughout your life and in doing so has created whatever the ailment that brings you in that day. I utilize both gentle and deeper needling styles depending on the comfort level of each body, and I am happy to also perform acupressure or remote sessions for patients as well. Please feel free to be in touch with me if you have any questions! I wish you the best on your journey.
