Amanda Finley LAc, She/They AC205167

Amanda is a graduate of the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine and has been practicing acupuncture since 2011.  Her hands-on approach is rooted in Applied Channel Theory – after palpating the channels, she picks relatively few very specific points to needle.

One specialty is adding a shiatsu-based bodywork as a deep neck release, which can help back and neck pain, as well as headaches, jaw or sinus issues.  Amanda also utilizes herbal medicine, especially for chronic infections and autoimmune conditions.

Outside the clinic, Amanda enjoys spending time with their family – husband, young child, and standard poodle.  Amanda also practices meditation and Bikram yoga, and enjoys hiking and trail running.

Lindsey Dority  LAc, She/Her AC150296

Lindsey discovered this transformational medicine in her 20’s, when she developed a frustrating health issue that Western Medicine could not resolve. Her symptoms were being treated, but not the underlying issue, similar to putting out fires while leaving the coals burning.  She began receiving acupuncture and the healing was profound.  While receiving acupuncture, she had an epiphany while laying on the table, with needles in, that she wanted to learn Chinese Medicine!  She graduated from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2009. She spent 8 years treating patients  in a community acupuncture setting, which allowed her to treat 1,000’s of patients and hone her  treatment skills. 

Lindsey is well-versed in how to treat pain conditions. She is intrigued with the gut-brain connection and loves treating digestion challenges and mental health. She has also been extensively studying the effects of trauma on the mind and body and believes acupuncture can be used as a tool to help the body release trauma, reconnect the mind and body,  and settle the nervous system.

When she is not in the clinic, she loves to spend time with her 2 daughters and spouse, walking along rivers and meandering through the streets of Portland.

Angela Kelsey- Giddings  LAc, She/Her, AC 217217

Angela is a graduate of the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco and has been practicing acupuncture since 2019. Her patient-centered, integrative approach is inspired by her previous career as a medical-surgical nurse. Angela’s experience is healthcare for over 15 years has taught her that truly listening is the first step toward knowing how to help. 

The next step in Angela’s  journey as a practitioner brings her to study the ways acupuncture and herbal formulas can support perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging. 

Angela hails from Minnesota, “the land of 10,000 lakes.” Loves anything and everything outdoors, especially if it involves water. In her free time is known to be found wandering in the woods foraging or frolicking (who can tell the difference really?!?), having dance/cooking parties in the kitchen, and geeking out over tea.
