Portland

At East Bridge Wellness, we have created an innovative center for healing using acupuncture and massage and other modalities. After years of collaboration, we have developed an intuitive ability to work together, not only with each other but with our patients. With our team of experienced and talented practitioners, our goal is to reach out to people in the Portland community and make a positive impact on their quality of life through health and wellbeing.

At Thrive we discover the root cause of your illness and provide natural remedies to restore health and quality of life.

I was exposed to Chinese Medicine and Designed Clinical Nutrition as a teenager, after being advised by a number of Western Medical Specialist to no longer play sports because of debilitating knee pain. The orthopedic doctor actually told me to become a “couch potato”. The experience and success of the treatment changed the way I viewed medicine forever, and after receiving my bachelors of science in Biology, I went in to receive my masters from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.

I continued my education in China, being fortunate to study from doctors with over 50 years of experience. They took many aspects into consideration before treatment would start. The first thing they looked at was the diet and nutrition then the function of the body as a whole including the digestive system, hormone system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, to name a few.

The Vital Compass is an acupuncture, massage and herbal clinic featuring a full Chinese & Western herbal pharmacy including bulk, granule, tincture & patent herbs as well as many healthcare accessories. It is open to all practitioners who would like to use it for their prescriptions.

2 Roads Crossing is the culmination of more than 25 years of study and planning and is a unique and innovative addition to the greater Portland healthcare community. Created by Dr. Stephen Saeks; a licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed acupuncturist, this clinic provides both traditional Western Psychological care and Traditional Chinese Medical care. However, it then goes a step further. Because of his unique training and clinical experience, Dr. Saeks provides treatment that is the integration of these two complementary disciplines.

Specialized in pediatrics, fertility, maternity, labor and delivery, women's health,, oncology and internal medicine. I use Acupuncture, Herbs, nutritional consultation, sound healing, cranial sacral therapy and Qi Gong to help my patients on their healing path.
