Night Sky Acupuncture + Ideaphoria

Liz Asch Greenhill, LAc.

811 East Burnside Street Suite 216 Portland, OR, 97214 United States

I offer acupuncture and somatic work for transformational experiences, deepening embodiment, heightened creativity, end-of-life care, pain, and to regulate the nervous system. 

*

I do not manage care or do primary care. If we are a good fit, I can serve as an auxiliary person in your network. I am a certified herbalist and can bring herbal medicine into your treatment plan. I offer hands-on work as an acupuncturist and hands-off work as an educator on creative embodiment and as an assistant to help bring new methods of integrative creativity to individuals and groups of artists and thinkers.

I am the creator and host of Body Land Metaphor Medicine, a free guided visualization resource on the podcast platform. Listen and get a sense of what it’s like to work with me. These are deep listening experiences that require time set aside in a still, quiet place. They can be listened to in bed for insomnia, via headphones on public transportation for self-regulation, in groups as a guided meditation with an integration discussion afterwards, and so on. They are not to be listened to while driving or multi-tasking. Listen on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, or download directly here on my website. Please share widely. These are a public offering.

You can sign up for a session here for one-on-one acupuncture in my office on East Burnside (second floor, no elevator) across from the Jupiter Hotel/Doug Fir. Or, reach out to me for my availability for a session at your hotel, home, or hospice place of care. I work with individuals and groups (families, coworkers, creative teams, housemates).

*

I am fully vaccinated and take all Covid precautions. Please take precautions and cancel if you have Covid. Last minute cancellations will be charged a fee.

I am in-network with Providence, MODA, and Pacific Source. If I am out-of-network with your health insurance, you can pay up front and I will give you a superbill to send in to your insurance company so that they reimburse you directly. If the out-of-pocket cost prohibits you from coming in, please email me and let me know. If you are a community organizer for a BIPOC non-profit, you may receive up to four free sessions per year. Sign up under the BLM option for your free healthcare.

Liz teaches workshops and classes at the intersection of the body and image and language, and she works as an artist’s assistant/magic helper of embodied creativity. Occasionally she mentors writers. Liz has taught at Corporeal Writing, the Sou’Wester Lodge, PUGS (the Portland Underground Graduate School) and led workshops with Intuit, the Northwest Narrative Medicine collective, the Feminist Poetics and Emerging Pedagogy conference, and been a guest lecturer at Eastern Oregon University and Portland State University.

Curious for more information on Liz’s teaching philosophy? This interview with author Lidia Yuknavitch digs into it here.

“After spending years in writing groups where I learned tons about writing but did not make actual progress with my book, I decided to hire Liz as a coach. I could not have made a better decision. Ever since I’m working with Liz, my writing process has been elevated to a whole new level. I am making progress like never before thanks to Liz’s guidance and support. Liz has an uncanny ability to ‘get me’ and ‘my story’ on a profound level. Her feedback is so intuitive and so spot on that I often find myself discovering entire new levels to my story I had never seen before. This is deeply satisfying on a personal level and at the same time it has dramatically increased the power, vitality and depth of my stories. Liz is like a magician; wherever she touches the story with her magic wand, new textures and layers appear, transforming my stories from a flat two-dimensional piece to a multi dimensional creation. Liz creates an incredible container for our work together, I feel totally safe with her and never feel judged or put down. This is such a big deal for a writer like me, who like many others often struggles with her self confidence and ability to stay focused and believe that I can do this! For the first time, I feel that I have traction and that together, with Liz’s help, I can write my book!” - Niyati Evers
