Brenda Harris LAc

Influenced by the power of nature while growing up in the Northwestern countryside, Brenda deepened her interest in the relationship between nature, wellness, and medicine at Bastyr University and National College of Naturopathic Medicine where she studied Naturopathic and Classical Chinese Medicines. Brenda focused on Acupuncture, Eastern and Western Herbal Medicine, Nutrition and Massage as well as obtaining certification in Qigong and Craniosacral therapy. Brenda uses a combination of these modalities in each therapeutic session to treat a wide range of health concerns and to address imbalances before they manifest as illness. She offers personal and group Qigong and Taiji instruction to keep healthy energy moving.

Brenda teaches Chinese and Alternative Medicine courses at University of Portland Nursing Program and serves as guest lecturer at PSU International Studies Nursing Department. For these audiences she draws upon her undergraduate education in Scientific Interpretation and Speech Communication to integrate Eastern theory and language with Western concept and definition.
