History
Established in 2006.
All Ways Well was founded in 2006 by owner and Acupuncturist Rebecca M Hurwood Kitzerow, LAc in an effort create a venue for holistic wellness-minded care. For Rebecca, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine changed her life - healing her of chronic digestive problems - and made her feel empowered and emboldened as a patient in a way she had never experienced before. She recognized Chinese Medicine as a multi-faceted healing modality with both immediate and long term health benefits. In 2003 at long last, Rebecca decided it was her turn to "pay it forward" by becoming a practitioner and helping others experience the benefits and increased quality of life Chinese Medicine could provide. In 2006, with a new LAc designation in hand, Rebecca opened All Ways Well - helping people be well and stay well in every way by combing different Chinese Medicine modalities to create holistic multi-faced treatments to achieve long term health.
Meet the Business Owner: Rebecca K.
I couldn't feel more blessed to do what I do for a living. Its the perfect job for me. My interest in Asian culture was sparked in San Francisco during the Fall of 1992 when I began studying Choy Li Fut style martial arts, Wu style Taiji and Qigong. This led me to seek an undergraduate degree in East Asian Studies with a minor in Chinese Language at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.While attending Lewis & Clark I spent a year in China studying language and culture. After graduating I worked at the Portland Classical Chinese Garden as their first Membership Director for several years, and then attended the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM) in Portland, Oregon. I graduated with a Master's in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (M.Ac.O.M.) and became a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.). While attending OCOM I also completed certification courses in Thousand Hands Buddha Qigong with Master Liu He and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture with Virgina Doran M.Ac. L.Ac, LMT.
