Blossom Clinic Acupuncture

Baby visits make my day. I feel so at peace when I hold a patient’s baby. My oldest Blossom Babies are 19 and sophomores in college. 😃

Happy 15th anniversary to Blossom Clinic! I opened Blossom in 2009 on NE 15th and Fremont when my boys were 2 and 5. With my business plan in hand, I chose my first location only a few blocks from home. A former patient of mine graciously offered to help me with the interior design and I traded services for my website and business cards! My kids grew up scootering and biking in that little shopping center and visiting Starbucks frequently (it was the quietest time of the day when they were sipping on those containers of chocolate milk).

My location changed last year to a home practice, and I no longer have employees or independent contractors. Besides that, everything has remained consistent. I’m dedicated to a full practice and helping women get pregnant and have healthy babies, and my commitment to this mission remains unwavering, inspiring me to continue my work every day. Blossom was born from inspiration and is still a living, breathing creative endeavor. After all, what is more creative than fertility & pregnancy? Cheers to 15 years.

Welcome to the world Kai, Ella, Isaiah, Howie, Leo, Ray, Koen and Miori. Lots of Blossoming over here in this early spring! 🌺

It’s feeling cozy in here. We made it through the ice storm and time is moving towards spring. But first, February! 🤍

I wanted to let you know that I’ll be posting some of my favorite products in the “I ❤️ these” highlight. You’ll find items from , , and local retailers here in the PNW. I’m excited to share with you.

Since 2003, I’ve supported IVF patients and given them acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer at fertility clinics around Portland, including OHSU Fertility and ORM. Before the pandemic, between 2016-2020, I was on the Acupuncture Team at , providing the service on-site for whoever wanted it. And now, one of the great things about having a home-based clinic is the flexibility to continue this service. If you know someone currently utilizing IVF, please share this message with them. I’d love to help. The treatment is supportive, relaxing and therapeutic.

I’m so happy I decided to go away with Joey (19) and Leo (16) for two nights. It’s hard taking off work, especially around the holidays when I’m already working less. But then I remember that these moments are invaluable.

Twenty-six years ago, I bravely departed NY and traversed the United States, landing in Portland, Oregon, for graduate school. I was 23 years old! My boyfriend and I visited amazing cities like Washington, DC, Atlanta, and New Orleans. We also camped and hiked glorious national parks, including Zion, Arches, and the Grand Canyon (pictured here).

I’m so grateful my young Lizzie self made this journey. When I think about my life, I have two legacies that I want to impress upon this world. One is my children. I hope they learn from their parents, co-parent role models, and extended family how to make the earth a better place, be kind to other humans, and be creatively helpful and happy. My second legacy is Blossom Clinic and my service as a fertility acupuncturist. I want people to remember me as compassionate, kind, and wise. I have the best patients, and I’m sure their children will also leave positive marks in the world.

So, cheers for celebrating life as I approach 50 next year. And cheers to 21 years of practice and being a Top Doc for the tenth consecutive year, too! I’m grateful for the nomination and trust of my colleagues.

Cheers, love and hugs,

Liz

I’m now accepting new patients. If you or someone you love is trying to conceive in and surrounding areas, I’m here to help. Xoxo Liz

Scheduling at Blossom 📆 - https://mailchi.mp/63db4d35246d/blossom-clinic-team-8848864

I have some good news. Sometime in May, I will be moving Blossom Clinic to the lower level of my new home on NE 38th near Grant Park! We started framing an extra treatment room today and are actively hiring subcontractors. The house is brand new, with a long driveway and a separate clinic entrance. It will be warm and inviting like Blossom is now, but even better. I am particularly excited about this change, as it will allow me to focus more on my patients and less on managing a larger business.

Larisa’s last day is February 18th, and Renée’s last day is March 24th. To accommodate patients, I have stopped taking new patients and have added an extra day to the schedule (Tuesdays 1:00-6 pm). I will continue a similar schedule (M-Th) once the practice moves over.

Stay tuned for more to come. I will let you know the move date ASAP for Blossom 2.0! Have questions or concerns? Shoot me a DM!

Much Love,

Liz

I’m celebrating 20 years of being a fertility acupuncturist and a small business owner! I went to Cornell University for my undergraduate degree, took a year off to work as an administrative assistant, and then drove cross-country in 1997 from NY to OR. I graduated with my Masters in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine in 2002, and right from the start, I specialized in fertility & pregnancy. My oldest “Blossom Babies” are seniors in high school, and their mamas are near and dear to my heart, as they were the first to trust me with their care. I am so grateful for all of my patients. I always say I have the best patients in the world- they’re intelligent, compassionate, motivated, and loving. As I look back on my 20-year career thus far, my heart feels warm. So, cheers to 20 years!
