Meet Portia Richardson, acupuncturist, health coach, and teacher. The daughter of a "hippie mom" who practiced massage, occupational therapy, yoga, and gardening, Portia has always been drawn to nature and holistic practices (though she took a brief detour to join a rock band in her 20s).
She loves Asian medicine because of the way it recognizes that the same forces at play in nature are active in human minds and bodies, and that it's a "whole system of healing: it recognizes that the mind, body, and spirit are all connected."
Portia's strength is treating the spirit through the lens of traditional Chinese medicine. She enjoys working with people who are feeling discontented, disconnected, or are experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, fertility issues or digestive issues.
"I like to mix it up," she says of her approach to treatment. "I'll do energy work, moxa, cupping, bodywork, herbs, and a lot of listening. A lot of qi moves in this consultation chair before we start moving it on the table."
When she's not working with patients or teaching in the health coaching program at the U of M's Center for Spirituality and Healing, Portia likes playing music, gardening, and spending time in nature with her seven-month-old son, Rohan, and fiance Ben.
