Hello! I’m Cita Oudijk, a licensed acupuncturist and Oriental Medicine Practitioner based in Portland, Oregon.

I have been practicing Chinese Medicine for 10 years, and continue to be gratified and amazed at how well this medicine works.  It is not unusual for people to come in, seeking relief from ailments that have bothered them for years, and to feel significant relief after treatment.

I treat both chronic and acute ailments, using acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, mind/body exercises, and lifestyle counseling, in a balance that seems appropriate to the condition being treated. Sometimes only one or two treatments are needed, other times a course of several treatments are required — it all depends on the person and the condition they are experiencing.

I believe the client-practitioner relationship is an important one. It is a partnership of sorts.  I like to take the time it takes to get to know you and to understand the issue(s) that you’d like to work with, discuss treatment options, and give you time to ask questions.

My standard treatment sessions last between 60-90 minutes depending on what is needed; generally the initial session is longer than subsequent sessions.

Please browse my website. I hope it will help you learn more about Oriental Medicine and how it might serve you.  If you have any further questions or feel that I can be of assistance to you, please contact me.
