Laura Santi is nationally and state licensed in Oregon. She graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture in 1991 and pursued further clinical training in Shanghai, China. She also attended the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Maryland to learn 5 Element style, and the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine for further education.
Other education includes certification in teaching classical hatha yoga in 1987, the study of homeopathy from the New England School of Homeopathy, and the practice of Aikido for two years.
Laura maintains a private practice in Portland Oregon where she practices both acute and constitutional 5 Element styles of acupuncture, which means that sudden problems such as back sprains or injuries from car accidents, and chronic, long-term difficulties such as stress and depression, can be addressed. She uses fewer needles than you might find in most offices as the focus is on using the 5 element and Japanese styles of acupuncture, both of which classically use very few needles.
No moxa is used in her practice (the herb often burned in acupuncture care) so that individuals with odor or chemical sensitivity can be comfortable.
