Ocean Heart Acupuncture

Hi there! My name is Liz Vitale and I’m a practitioner of East Asian medicine at Three Capes Natural Medicine here in Pacific City, on the beautiful Oregon Coast. My approach to practicing East Asian medicine tends towards gentleness, reflecting the knowledge that our bodies are incredibly capable of healing themselves, given appropriate stimulus and space.

A typical treatment may include acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, and an herbal formula to continue the healing process until your next visit. The myriad interconnections within us and among us mean that healing one part is not separate from healing the whole. A small shift in one system can lead to a sea change.

I have experience in treating a variety of conditions from acute pain to chronic disease, including autoimmune conditions, mental & emotional health, sports injuries, digestive & gastrointestinal issues, and allergies.

I am a licensed acupuncturist with a Masters of Science degree from the National University of Natural Medicine and completed a residency in Portland, Oregon.
