“Vivian is awesome and spent time to get to know my situation and put a plan together for my purposes. Love this place and highly recommend!” -NS

“I can’t say enough good things about Vivian and her practice! I have worked with several Acupuncturist in the past, through 3 states and she is by far the best, kindest and most generous practitioner I have ever been treated by. She is incredibly knowledgeable about both traditional Eastern and Ayurvedic medicine and I love how she weaves in both to create a truly customized care plan. I am so grateful to have found her and feel that I finally have a true advocate and partner in my healing journey. Thank you Vivian! -Sandra M.

“…Vivian took the time to address all my concerns, and made some great suggestions. She also came up with a strategy for that day’s acupuncture session as we talked. Within a few minutes I felt my my chest free up just just as the previous week, and that was a great feeling. Once again, I came out feeling relaxed and energized.” -EL

“As soon as I had my first consultation, Vivian put a plan together and since then my health is better than ever before.” -BS

“Finding Vivian and Bardo Acupuncture has been a Goddess-send! My sister and I moved to Portland and were looking for a new acupuncturist. Finding someone who could weave both Traditional Chinese Medicine (that had been super healing & helpful) AND Ayurveda (that I’ve studied for years and has transformed my life!) was something I never dreamed I could find. But I did – and it was such a perfect synergy of wisdom and techniques. Vivian is hands-down the most generous, caring, and collaborative health practitioner I’ve ever worked with – and I’ve worked with a lot! As a former esthetician, lifelong yogi, and now that I’m entering midlife – I deeply value healers who are able to “be real” and care about my whole being vs just get me in and out of a session. Life and health are non-linear and often messy and confusing paths – but with Vivian I feel like I can “bring it all” and she joyfully and thoughtfully rides the ebbs and flows with me. I so look forward to my sessions with Vivian and always leave feeling nourished, balanced and present. Vivian is a gift. Go see her!” -CM
