Healers need healing too! Dr. Tim strained something in his shoulder and upper back last week and was feeling some persistent, burning pain with simple daily activities.

Lately our home treatment table has been living in the zen plant corner of our living room. It is such a gift to engage with regular self care and be reminded that acupuncture does in fact make most things better.

Luna is unfortunately too serious about her guard duty job to be a clinic therapy animal. She is however, a wonderful therapeutic presence for home treatments. She stayed like this while Tim rested with his needles, watching carefully over my work.

If things are hurting, feeling off, and you need a reset, come see us.

Cupping looks strange but feels oh so good!!

Some of the things cupping is great for

-workout soreness
-respiratory congestion from illness or allergies
-pain from strains and sprains
-generalized malaise and muscle aches

Have you tried this modality? What did you think?

We are excited to be expanding our clinic hours starting April 17th.

Like so many of you we have juggled changes in school, childcare, and ebbs and flows of business due to Covid-19 for the last 3 years.

While we recognize that Covid is still here with us, life moves forward in many ways.

We are emerging from the maintenance phase and are looking to grow again!

We are accepting new patients and have expanded availability to serve you.

Returning patients can book online at the link in our bio. New patients call the office at 503-616-7177 to schedule.

We look forward to supporting you in your health goals.

As of Monday April 3, 2023 masks will be optional for all patients and practitioners at Ancient Fern Medicine.

This decision was made in response to the latest guidance from the OHA to remove the mask wearing requirement for all healthcare settings.

We will continue to use thorough sanitation, hospital grade HEPA filtration, and illness screening to keep our environment as low risk as we can.

We understand that everyone has a different comfort level with this decision, and encourage patients to do what makes them the most comfortable. If you wish you continue wearing a mask to your appointment, you are welcome to do so.

Additionally, if you arrive to your appointment with any obvious symptoms of illness, such as acute congestion, cough, sneezing, or fever you will kindly be asked to wear a mask for the duration of your visit.

We also ask that if a member of your household is ill at that you consider wearing a mask to protect others.

Above all, we ask that you carefully monitor yourself for all symptoms and signs of illness, and call our office to re-schedule if you are experiencing any signs of acute illness, or have tested positive for covid-19 within the last 10 days.

We will continue to monitor the situation, and follow all updated guidance from the OHA, as we have faithfully done throughout the covid-19 pandemic.

We thank you for your support during the last few challenging years, and we hope to continue caring for you for many years to come.

Please contact us mailto:info@ancientfern.com or 503-616-7177 with any questions or concerns.

Just a low tech, no frills, no video, no trending audio post coming in to remind you that rest is a radical act.
I had all sorts of plans about starting a bathroom refinish project this evening, and then I got home and realized this week has been long and tiring. What is your body saying to you? Are you listening? Be extra good to you. You deserve it.

Played around with time lapse so you can see the process of making a custom formula. Next time I’ll slow down so you can see ingredients better!

I’m making a custom formula for myself to address the last of my lingering symptoms from being sick.

If you’re struggling with prolonged congestion, fatigue, headaches, rapid heart rate, mood swings, dizziness, or other odd symptoms post viral illness custom herbs can be really helpful! I’m finding them to be key in my recovery.

Lovely flowers from a patient who was grateful for a same day opening to treat acute neck pain and a migraine headache.
Don’t be afraid to reach out if you need a same day appointment.

We are out of the office 04/15-04/19. Office staff will be in to assist with scheduling at 503-616-7177 or info@ancientfern.com

Happy from our rescue pup Luna. She’s a special little lady who makes our family complete. We have no idea what kind of dog she really is, except for adorable. Do you have a special doggy in your life ?

Please enjoy this collection of the good doctor Timothy Nelson demonstrating the jump squat smash cardboard technique. We filled the dumpster with our furniture packaging despite breaking it all down completely flat.

It’s not all glamorous opening a new office space. Behind the scenes there are many errands, a lot of furniture assembly, organizing, cleaning, and then cleaning up again. This fabulous human is our dear friend and a professional organizer and assistant. We could not do this without her. If you need help with a project, big or small, of Simply Sarah is your gal.

First sneak peek of the new space! We are SO excited to share this with you. Stay tuned for a walk through video update tomorrow afternoon.
