“Amara was very thoughtful, skilled and kind! The atmosphere of her studio was spacious, clean, cozy, peaceful and uplifting. She has clearly put a lot of effort into making her clients feel comfortable! As someone who was somewhat hesitant and has had a bad acupuncture experience in the past, I was put totally at ease. It was completely painless, I felt energetically realigned and I even almost fell asleep! I would recommend Amara to friends and family. I will definitely be returning!”

About Amara Tekus

My approach to medicine is rooted in a belief in the body's innate ability to heal. Fundamental to the practice of Chinese Medicine is finding balance. Due to many lifestyle, environmental, genetic, and dietary factors, our bodies are constantly pushed out of balance. Acupuncture gently facilitates the process of bringing you back to your own unique set point: the balanced space where you most thrive. Where you are once again, WELL. I hold a Master's degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and have 9 years of experience working with a wide range of conditions. I welcome patients seeking treatment for nearly every health concern. Additionally, I have a specialty practice in women's health, including fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum support. A portion of my practice is devoted to ?beauty from within,? and I offer cosmetic facial acupuncture, facial cupping/gua sha, and microneedling. *Please note I am OUT OF NETWORK and this is a private pay appointment. New patient acupuncture treatments are $160, and follow-up appointments are $95, to be collected at the time of service.*
