Root & Branch Chinese Medicine

"I have been seeing Sage for I think over a year now and I love him so much. He’s super friendly and funny and such a welcoming presence. I went in there for the first time afraid of needles with an assortment of medical problems and during the first appointment he was so gentle and slow with me and I felt so comfortable. He made sure that he only did one side so that I didn’t feel trapped suddenly while stuck with needles. Now I go in there absolutely glowing and smiling, always so excited to see him and have him work his magic. He has a true gift, not just with acupuncture but also with his energy. He is just an incredible human being and I adore him. I can not tell you how stressful this past year has been for me and I’ve gone in there so stressed so many times and he always asks me how I’m doing and listens and then reminds me that this is my safe place and when he puts the first needle in me I will go from tense to a puddle almost instantly and will start slurring my words and forget my problems ever existed. He helped me get over a 2 year long eating disorder and since then I have gained 35 pounds!! (So happy) and I have horrendous and crippling menstrual cramps and if I see him right before, the cramps are practically nothing. If I could give 100 stars I would!! Go see Sage!!!"

"I’ve been really enjoying my treatments with Lauren. I’m having less pain and better digestion. She’s thoughtful, a great communicator, and a skilled acupuncturist. I would highly recommend her to anyone."

"In the year I’ve worked with Travis Kern, he’s helped me restore my digestive health, hope, and outlook on life. Travis has a deep knowledge of what promotes health and graciously shares the concepts and practices of Chinese medicine in a profound yet understandable way. He’s highly knowledgeable about food but not dogmatic. Presently, we are working on an eating plan to ensure long-term success. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have helped my body function better and feel more relaxed. My longstanding anxiety is gone. Almost as a side effect, due to acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and diet–– the toenail fungus I’d had for fifty years is about gone. Many doctors had told me that nothing could be done. Last but not least, I love each appointment, the relaxed atmosphere, being listened to and encouraged to ask questions, and learning so much through the answers, a foundation that allows me to change habits and beliefs."

"I’m so glad I found Mosaic Wellness at Root & Branch. My previous acupuncturist was in downtown Portland. She moved away and since then I’ve been looking for another. I now have a new wonderful acupuncturist. Yesterday I had my first appt. and consultation. I was very pleased with the outcome & definitely plan to continue getting healing care from her."

"Travis Kern is one of the most knowledgeable and compassionate people I know. He has helped me with a back problem that stumped both my chiropractor and my MD. He always discusses my treatment plan and measurable outcomes. Highly recommend!"
