Night Sky Acupuncture + Ideaphoria

Liz Asch Greenhill, LAc.

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 is the most AMAZING healer. She used multiple methods on me and I was actually so relaxed during Accupuncture that I dreamed during it (I'm usually the worst sleeper in the world and have NEVER had that experience before). I felt more calm and relaxed than I had in weeks after our first session and she took so much time to actually learn about my body, how I was feeling, and what I was dealing with. Would highly recommend seeing her for whatever you need help with.“ - K.L.

“I can’t thank you enough, Liz. I feel so much more at peace.” - DH

"Liz is truly AHHMAZING!!!! She has helped me with everything from sleep issues, depression and anxiety, physical/muscular pain, and SOOO much more!!! She asks the right questions to figure out where I am at each and every session; hears (REALLY hears!) what I need, offers suggestions and new ideas when appropriate, and uses that information to plan and shape her treatment sessions. Liz is a fantastic empathetic listener, and always has ideas, resource suggestions, and to help. She is incredibly thoughtful, considerate, sweet, kind (all the lovely things!!!) and ALWAYS makes me feel heard. If I was told that I could have only one healthcare provider going forward, without a moment's hesitation, I would choose Liz! She has done so much for my mental and physical health over the last year. I don't know where I'd be without her!" - Olive

“I'd been wanting an opportunity to work with Liz for quite some time and had been listening to her guided visualization podcast, Body Land, recommending it to friends and family. Since we live on different coasts, I finally got the opportunity to meet with her virtually. I found her to be warm, experienced, caring, and professional. She created a customized guided visualization just for me and followed up with additional resources after our call that were very helpful. I'm looking forward to scheduling a follow-up session with her again soon.“ - D.T.

"I am so glad I found Liz! I've been to many Shiatsu and acupuncture practitioners and I love the way that Liz combines both modalities along with guided imagery! I'm used to being "left to cook" while the practitioner goes to work on someone else, Liz stays with me the whole time, she tunes in to what I need in the particular session and the results have been awesome! I went to Liz when I was feeling a flare of rheumatoid arthritis which has been in remission for years, she helped me nip that in the bud and now I see her for regular "tune ups". She's helped me with intermittent back pain, allergies and anything else that might show up. She's a knowledgeable and gentle healer that I can heartily recommend!" - Cindy B

"Liz is on top of her game! She may be the first acupuncturist to spend an entire session working with me, instead of dropping needles into me and leaving! She is hands on and also uses imagery, she treats body mind spirit as one! Go see her!" - Kevin C

"I’ve seen Liz for years for a wide variety of issues and she never fails to help bring me back into balance. She stays with you for the whole session, providing brilliant visualizations, gentle acupressure and a lovely, nurturing presence. She is also an amazing writer and visual artist. Her sensitivity and creativity are abundant. There’s just no one else like her." - Tracy B.

"I have been enjoying receiving acupuncture from Liz every month for over a year and I can't recommend her enough. She really listens and is in the room with clients for the entire session, even providing guided meditations. I had hip surgery and Liz has helped a lot with the recovery process. A couple of months ago my pelvis was out of alignment. I went to a physical therapist, massage therapist, and my doctor and they didn't help. Liz was able to get it back in place through a few moments of gentle acupressure and well-placed needles. I haven't had a problem with it since." - Liz G

“I went in to see Liz because I felt like I was at a physical, emotional, and psychological crossroads. On the surface I was experiencing serious symptoms attached to being on the cusp of menopause, but I was unconvinced I had to just sit around and “take it,” nor did I have any interest in the hormonal or surgical options my medical doctor talked with me about (run!). Underneath that I have suffered from chronic back pain since I was 14, which she noticed without my even explaining to her. After my first meeting with Liz I felt something “move.” Something serious shifted in my entire body and I dropped down several layers meditation wise as well to a deeper place of exploration. Frankly I was a little stunned. After four meetings with Liz I felt like I was shedding a skin, a life chapter, a heaviness. I’m opening back up to this part of my life and path in ways I never dreamed imaginable. I have more energy than I’ve had in about five years. My hot flashes, chills, pain, and mood roller coasters are next to gone a lot of the time. My kidney weirdnesses–partly extra messed up due to a debacle with Kaiser a couple of years ago that left me permanently damaged–are as close to normal as I’ve seen in years. My gut is not a golem any more. Basically I think Liz walks on water, but that will make it sound all magical and metaphysical. But Liz walks on water. I am recommending her to everyone I know for pretty much anything that feels like it is in your way in your life. And my back pain? Check this out: my spine is LITERALLY changing. I mean physiologically. A little every week. I didn’t even think that was possible. In short, whether you are feeling stuck physically, emotionally, psychologically, or spiritually, please try working with Liz. Don’t wait. You have nothing to lose, and absolutely everything to gain. You know that saying about a “healing touch?” Trust me when I say some people just have it. Liz does. RUN, don’t walk.” - Lidia Yuknavitch, writer

"Liz is an amazing practitioner. Each time I go to her I feel so nurtured, respected, understood and healed! She is an accomplished acupuncturist and an intuitive compassionate healer with a relaxed, grounded, and easy presence. I love how she uses every minute of the hour to gently treat all aspects of my body, mind, and spirit—with needles, acupressure and massage, visualizations, and wise thoughts. I recommend her highly!" – Anusuya Starbear, process work therapist

"Honestly, Liz is a life and body saver. She is absolutely magical. When I have a pain, I see Liz and she makes the pain go away. Like every single time. I am so incredibly grateful for her and I really could not recommend her any more highly. She's so good at what she does, she listens and empathizes so beautifully and she is just an all around amazing person." - L.B.

“Liz Greenhill is fully present, thoroughly knowledgeable about Chinese medicine, as well as various other healing modalities, and has a deep wisdom in working to achieve the right balance in one’s life. I have been very impressed with Liz’s gentle, strong and thoughtful approach to healing. Through acupuncture, acupressure, guided visualizations and more, I have no doubt that Liz has my best interest and deepest healing in her mind, her heart, and her applications. I really appreciate Liz’s work as a practitioner, as well as the various levels of healing it has brought to me.” – RS

"I loved Liz's approach to healing. She is gentle but firm and very very intuitive letting the pain in my body guide her fingers as they prodded and pulled, simultaneously coercing and soothing my muscles. Her visualization techniques were new to me and have stuck with me and I am sure they will remain in my processes of healing myself. Top notch, almost magical experience. My pain has diminished considerably a mere few hours after treatment. Wow." - BR

"Wonderful experience with Liz. She is kind, gentle, and "gets it" on multiple levels. It's a relief to go to a practitioner who can tease out exactly what you are saying from a jumble of words and pauses, misgivings and confusion around your own health -- emotional and physical. I felt supported and totally blissed out by the end of our session. Also. Her space is gorgeous with beautiful art and good vibes. Easy parking to boot. Thank you, Liz!!!" -Sophie R.

"As a colleague and someone who has received over a decade of bodywork you have never had an experience like this. You can’t compare it. Liz uproots what ails you and grounds you ever so gently in the now. I see Liz for inflammation of the arms and an over-active brain. Her acupuncture skills and creative visualizations are a stealthy combination for healing that take you into another world. When the session is over you have nothing to say other than ‘thank you.’" - Elaina Anders, massage therapist

"Liz has been a wonderful aid, recommended to me by someone in the local yoga community. I initially started seeing her for some major foot problems and she has helped me make substantial progress. I'm continuing to work with her for additional support and healing. I highly recommend Liz in her acupuncture work!" - Jess F

"Amazing. Best treatment ever. I'm a new person. Thank you Liz!" - Barb G.

"I was spoiled because Liz was the first person I ever saw for acupuncture and she relieved my chronic back pain in one session which lasted for several months until I started playing rugby again. I tried out a few other acupuncturists at that time but nobody else had the same focus and touch. So I finally went back to Liz and she did her thing and fixed my back again! YAY! Thank you so much, Liz!! I really appreciate it!" -Jen

"I went to see Liz during an extremely difficult time in my life. My husband had just moved out of the house and I was sick. Heartsick and belly sick and simply in a bad way. Many of my dear friends had been to see Liz and they recommended that I go see her too. I'm grateful they did. Liz's hands and needles led me back to my self again, and with her help I was able to begin healing and move forward. We all need someone like Liz at times to stay afloat." - Rhonda

“If you are going to go to acupuncture you have to see Liz! She is phenomenal at what she does. She is a rare practitioner with deep intuition, compassion and incredible skillful means to help people heal. I saw Liz for a couple months to help with some emotional issues and extreme fatigue issues. After several sessions I was beginning to feel shifts in my energy levels and a sense of hope inside again. She has a lovely presence that permeates your time with her. And her knowledge of the physical. emotional and spiritual bodies bring a wisdom to her practice that few can emulate. Take the step towards healing today and go see Liz!” – MS

"When I go here I know I’ll leave feeling better even if better isn’t what I was after. Liz treats the whole person and works in an artistic manner with great skill and heart. Don’t waste money on a treatment somewhere else, plan ahead and see Liz for a real session that will be a wonderful gift to yourself." - E. A.

“Liz does great work! At the end of April, I had a fall. I broke my left arm, mashed my right knee and had to have surgery on my mangled right hand; nothing life-threatening, certainly, but I was pretty much unable to do anything for over a month. And in a lot of pain/discomfort. Since I couldn’t get around, I inquired if she could make a house call, pretty much assuming that that – wasn’t – going to happen, but she agreed to come! And she was very well prepared, with all her tools, music, etc. I had three sessions, and they were very helpful. Acupuncture, light Shiatsu, and some visualizations. All worked very effectively to ease my pain/discomfort and, I feel, helped speed up my recovery. I was, especially, having a lot of pain and awful cramps in my right hand. The acupuncture she did on it was just incredibly effective. The response was pretty profound and really quick; I’ve never had that dramatic a reaction to acupuncture. I would highly recommend Liz’s great work and professionalism.” -Stephen O, painter

"Liz is attentive, kind, and ready to take care of what ails you. She customizes each visit to fit the day's needs. She's also a bottomless well of creative visual guidance on the days some grounding is required. Liz is very professional and calming. (An added bonus is that she has recommended some great books once she found out I love reading!)" - CI

"I felt well cared for! Liz is super intuitive and thorough. Haven't felt this good in a year! Thank you! "- GW

"Thank you so much, Liz, for a wonderfully creative and healing experience. My fear of needles did not even enter into mind! Your thorough methods and open communication, explaining as you go and detailing what to expect...well, it was simply a perfect fit for me. Not to mention the guided visualization and your intuitive input. I will be telling everyone I know, and I look forward to scheduling again in January, starting the new year with a healthier me! Happy Holidays!" - Michelle

"I had a fantastic experience with Liz and her acupuncture treatments. I was looking for treatment for some digestive problems I was having and over the course of a few sessions my condition improved significantly. She took a holistic approach to solving my problem an each session was nourishing and helpful. I recommend her highly!" -Antranik

"I cannot express the joy of having been seen by Liz. She seriously is talented, kind, professional, and creative with her work. Thank you Liz!" - K.

“A session with Liz is a totally lovely experience from start to finish. She is one of the most compassionate, caring healers I know, and you feel cared for from the moment you walk in. Liz was even willing to see me on a day she wasn’t working, just because she knew I was in pain. Her massage always feels like her hands know exactly where to go, and I often feel more relaxed during her sessions than I do anywhere else.” –DM

"Liz has helped me with headaches, anxiety, PMS, muscle weakness, and digestive trouble. All of my symptoms decreased within weeks of seeing her. I was completely healed in just a few months from the effects of a virus that no other doctors were able to help me with. Liz is not only a talented acupuncturist, but she also helps you learn how to be proactive in your own healing process. She is creative, kind and a loving spirit. I highly recommend her!!! She is also great for shiatsu and herbal remedies." - SM

“I came to Liz’s practice last fall suffering from all sorts of perimenopausal issues. Hot flashes and insomnia being the most bothersome. I had mood swings and just didn’t feel connected to my body. Liz performed Shiatsu on me, and prescribed various Chinese herbs, and, most profoundly, was generous with her knowledge of Chinese medicine and offered me a new map to follow. Six months later (at first I went every week, then every two weeks, now once a month), my yin is restored. Hot flashes gone. I feel like myself again (and my perimenopause seems to be in remission). Liz’s gentle spirit and intuitive healing capabilities are rare.” -Suzy S

"Liz Greenhill has the ability to find the exact points that relieve my pain. My most recent visit was for neck and shoulder pain. I had relief right away." - Doug

“Liz is amazing. I started seeing her a few months ago for low back pain and anxiety and I’ve seen her more than a dozen times since then. I always leave her office feeling better than when I came in. I had anxiety so bad that I was suffering heart palpitations and was awake for hours during the night. Seeing Liz always takes care of the problem. In addition to acupuncture the talks we have make a huge difference. She reminds me to take care of myself and gives me tips and recommendations that make a huge difference in my life. I’m such a fan I’ve sent friends to her, too, and they are also impressed with her services. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” – NE

"Liz isn't just an acupuncturist. She's a magician. As soon as she puts needles into certain points of my body and I'll feel other points that 'call for attention', before I can even point to the areas of my body that are in need of more needling she already knows the spots. And she's always right. She is like a magical clairvoyant psychic acupuncture needle wizard. And she's more than someone who just puts needles in. Just being in Liz's presence is healing. I always feel like a different person when I leave her office and her treatments make a massive difference in dealing with a chronic nerve injury in my spine. She is a gem. Don't miss out on having treatments with her, you will not look back!" - Niyati, Therapist and Facilitator

"Liz is a true healer! She listened carefully to my concerns and she knew exactly what to do! I feel relief and comfort and cant wait for another session with her. I received the triple crown of treatments with Acupuncture, Acupressure and Moxa. Don't hesitate to see Liz, it's a real treat!" -TH

"Liz Greenhill helped my writer's block! I felt funny asking her about it, but Liz explained that there are points around the body that help or hinder creativity. At the time, I was facing more than usual emotional stress as well as physical pain. Liz brought a breakthrough in lessening my pain and she helped refocus my energy into my writing. My physical, mental, and emotional blocks cleared up and I was able to move on in my creative work." - D.C.

“Liz is the best acupuncturist! She has a compassionate, intelligent practice and has always helped me! She is an amazing person!!” -Grace W “Liz is awesome! I went to her looking for help with low back and hip pain that I’d been struggling with for half the year. After three sessions with her, a majority of the pain had disappeared. She has a beautiful, calm disposition and a wonderful gentle touch. I recommend her highly.” – T B

"Liz Greenhill's sessions help me with teeth grinding, stress, and other nerve-related issues. But she's also an expert at relieving neck and shoulder muscle strain by inserting the needles into trigger points. It's always a joy to see her and receive her care!"- AB

“Liz is a very compassionate, intuitive and gifted healer. Working with Liz over the last year has been amazing. Our work was mainly centered around physical and emotional symptoms due to major life changes. I have experienced profound growth, freedom and healing. Thank you, Liz!“ -Barb

"Hey Liz, I am so grateful for the fact that you are there with all of your insight, knowledge and caring. After my treatment for vertigo I felt better right away. More importantly, I woke up the next morning symptom free and I have been so ever since! Thanks so much for what you do. Peace." - Rob

"Liz helped me tremendously with my chronic muscular condition, the pain and inflammation have gone down to a manageable level between appointments. This is HUGE for me, after years of suffering. The biggest, and most pleasant surprise of all has been the relationship her guided visualization techniques have allowed me to form anew. Liz is a truly amazing healer!" - Celeste

“I started seeing Liz for help with my knees. I was gifted with four visits from a friend. I can honestly say it was one of the best gifts I ever received. My knee pain has lessened so much with each visit. I have severe arthritis in both knees and knew going in that there is no cure for that. I wasn’t expecting full recovery. What I received, and continue to receive each visit, is a strategy for managing my pain. Through visualization and guided meditations I have been able to deal with the stress and anxiety of chronic pain. Liz is a healer. She listens to the body. She pays attention and is patient when I am unable to describe my pain. She is phenomenal and I would recommend her with no hesitation whatsoever.”- ZE

“Liz is an exceptional artist-acupuncturist. She uses intuition along with her knowledge of Shiatsu to create perfectly tailor made treatments. Her sessions with me were incredibly helpful to my healing journey in early 2014.” –PK

“Liz is a powerful and amazing healer. She is extremely gifted as a Shiatsu practitioner and as an acupuncturist. I appreciate how kind and gentle her technique is–I never feel the needles with acupuncture. Liz is one of the most intuitive people I have ever met. When she practices Shiatsu, I truly feel she knows exactly what my body, mind, emotions, and spirit needs to heal as she guides me in the right direction. She is a very compassionate person and a careful listener. Liz does an excellent job and I always feel restored and wonderful after every visit.” -Jenna M

“Liz Greenhill is an expert healer who understands the important connection between body, mind, and spirit. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism and have long had migraines related to neck and throat injuries sustained years ago. I’ve also been experiencing some personal and physical transitions connected to turning 40. During my sessions with Liz, I sensed she had the unique ability to tune into the areas in my body that were blocked and in pain. Her potent cocktail of quantum shiatsu, guided visualization, and acupuncture immediately sent me into a state of bliss. After only three visits, I felt the weight of unwanted energy and neck trauma evaporate. My creativity is crackling open, my voice feels replenished. Liz is a remarkable acupuncturist who brings kind presence and sparkling energy to her work. If you are experiencing pain or feeling blocked in some area of your life–go see Liz Greenhill. Her abundant skills will fix you up.” - Mia D

“I am so impressed with the quality of care I received from Liz. I’ve had acupuncture before from other practitioners, but Liz is truly a gifted healer. 24 hours later and I am still calm and feeling solid.” – Anon.

“Liz does amazing work. She is clearly well-trained and knowledgeable in acupuncture and shiatsu, and she adds to those skill sets with a nurturing, compassionate presence. Her ability to add guided meditation truly elevates her sessions to a level of power healing. I felt a clear, lasting, and deep shift after our work together. I highly recommend her!” – NT

“I first went to Liz Greenhill’s practice seeking relief for ongoing dizziness that I have been dealing with for several years. It is a particular condition for which I have not found successful treatment through the normal medical establishment. Liz’s approach to my condition, in which she employs a combination of acupuncture, pressure points and guided visualization, has been nothing short of fantastic! The sessions last about an hour and are incredibly relaxing and soothing. After having tried acupuncture at another clinics, I find Liz’s approach much more effective. She really treats your whole body and mind an a very holistic way. I always leave her office feeling revitalized and full of good energy. I find that going to her on a regular basis, which for me is about every other week, is most effective. I highly recommend her!” -CJ

“Liz is a natural healer. She is kind, compassionate, intuitive and insightful. Liz has the rare ability to meet you where you are, and gently but skillfully and powerfully move you to where you want to be. Her treatments have completely changed my life. Not only has she greatly relieved my chronic pain, but she has helped me, through her acupuncture, her shiatsu and her wise guidance to restore my energy and my vitality. My visits with her are a highlight of every week. If you can find a way to see her, do it! She also completely cured my friend’s insomnia! She truly is a miracle worker.” -CH

“Liz is an excellent acupuncturist with great instincts. I have enjoyed working with her because she’s gentle, attentive and very helpful. She’s a great listener and just hits the right spots. I have a lot of issues, both physically and emotionally and she addresses these with great skill. Sometimes we work as a team and I love that. After Liz’s thorough treatments, I feel much better. I would highly recommend her.” -Kathleen

“Liz’s work with acupuncture and shiatsu is gentle and precise. My nervous system was completely at ease during the treatment. I felt like this allowed her to access a deeper place where healing could more easily occur. Since my body’s defense system was not on alert I could really relax into the treatment and clearly observe how my internal state shifted back into balance during the session.” -TK

“I had been struggling with tendonitis in my shoulder for at least 6 months. The pain was significant enough that it impaired my ability to dress myself as well as other daily activities. At times, in addition to the muscle pain, I had nerve pain shooting down my arm; sometimes all day. A couple of months ago I had a treatment with my Naturopath. This treatment opened and released the muscles in a very deep helpful way. However, after the treatment I was quite sore; actually, beyond sore – I was in pain in a different way. I saw Liz 1 day after this for a Shiatsu treatment. After I went home what I noticed was amazing. All soreness/pain was gone! It felt like a miracle to me! Thanks Liz !” –Linda Resca, MS, Writer, Private Care-Giver

“Miserable with head and teeth hurting from sinus congestion–and sapped of energy–I found Liz while visiting from out of state. She took a careful history and listened to my symptoms, then expertly placed the needles in exactly the right spot on first try. I was immediately much improved; within several hours, I was without symptoms and back to my high energy level. My teeth have hurt from sinus congestion for months, but no more. Thanks, Liz!” -Pam

“Liz, you have helped me come a long way with my allergies. I always feel good when I leave my treatment, knowing how much you care about your patients. Thanks so much for helping me get my Qi in order!” -Alicia

“I have been only coming for my treatments a very short time, a month to be exact. And I have had such relief. My foot feels so much better. My hot flashes are almost gone completely and my bladder problems have been helped also. I can’t say enough good things about acupuncture and herbs and also about Liz, my therapist. She is wonderful, so gentle and really has a gift in this field. Again, thanks Liz for all you have done for me.” -Bobbie P

“Liz has been very professional in every aspect of treating my health problems associated with advanced fibromyalgia and early symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. She has given the best treatments I have ever had.” - EV
