They have 2 walls that are 5 shelves high with glass jars full of all the dried plants listing descriptions for each one so you can decide what you need. I've been with this shop since 2008. This shop helped me get rid of horrible, itchy acne I had for 2 years that not even the dermatologists at OHSU could remedy (sure, I had to drink a special tea 3x a day, take herbal capsules 2x a day and steam a few times a week - cleared up in 2 months!). Whether you're a novice or make your own plant medicine, this is the place to go. I will note that sometimes there can be very inexperienced herbalists working on their own who won't be able to answer questions or help you find a solution. Do a little research and follow your gut.

My decision to start the new year off with acupuncture with Kristen is shaping up to be the best…read moreI've made so far. I loved every single moment of my session -- from the moment I walked in and felt instantly welcomed and cared for, to the actual needling session where she played Brian Eno and had a heating lamp warming my feet (it's the little things!). I really appreciated Kristen's warmth and attentiveness. She has a nurturing spirit that you can feel as soon as you meet her and really takes the time to hear and witness you. We had a lovely, easy conversation throughout our session and when it came time for the needling, I was really pleased with her gentle touch. I've been needled by other practitioners before who were aggressive and intense, so I really appreciated how smooth her technique was. The biggest thing for me, though, was after she stuck the needles in me and left me alone so that they could do their magic -- I felt so comfortable in the space and with how much intention she put into making me feel safe there that I was actually able to relax and enjoy those 30 minutes of rest, which made the session even more affective. Almost immediately my symptoms began to melt away and I started to feel that delicious acupuncture high that you get sometimes when you've hit the right meridians. (I woke up this morning still feeling the affects.) After my session was over, she gave me big hug and asked me how I was getting home (it was dark and gloomy out) which, again -- it's little gestures like that that make me feel valued and cared for as a patient enough to come back. And I will, no doubt. The last thing I'll add: As a black queer woman who has struggled to find healers and practitioners in this city who really make me feel seen as a whole person and like I won't be microaggressed, I was really happy with my experience with Kristen and Nightingale. Based on how I was treated and the energy of the space, I feel they really foster community and advocate for a safe space for their marginalized patients. I'm really really glad I decided to take a chance and go here. My body is thanking me today.
