    Serena Whitridge

    DSOM, MScN, LAc
    Owner, Acupuncturist, Nutritionist + Herbalist

    Serena’s path to medicine began not in a classroom, but in her own healing journey. As a teenager navigating Lyme disease, she turned to acupuncture—an experience that shaped her life’s work.

    She went on to earn a master’s degree in nutrition and a doctorate in East Asian Medicine, blending modern physiology with time-honored medical systems. Serena specializes in women’s health across the lifespan, including preconception and fertility support, painful or absent periods, PCOS, endometriosis, postpartum care, perimenopause, and menopause. She also treats a wide range of pain conditions.

    Serena is known for her hands-on, integrative approach, weaving acupuncture with craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. Herbal medicine is a cornerstone of her treatment plans, thoughtfully customized to support each patient’s constitution and stage of life.

    Through her training in Chinese medicine, Serena developed a deep understanding of the body’s cycles, patterns, and memory—how symptoms are not random, but meaningful signals mapped across time and tissue. The body has more than five senses, and it remembers.

    Her work helps patients listen, restore balance, and move forward with clarity.

    Outside of the clinic, Serena spends her time immersed in the Columbia River Gorge, nurturing a love for nature and movement while teaching her baby girl to explore the world alongside her.

  • Sarah Moeser

    DAOM, LAc

    Licensed Acupuncturist, Herbalist

    Sarah has been embedded in a matrix of healing since a young age. She spent her childhood exploring nature around Spokane, Washington, and the relationship she formed with the natural world early on continues to inform her practice of Chinese Medicine. In 2020, Sarah graduated from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine with her master’s degree in acupuncture and oriental medicine, and in 2024 she concluded her doctoral level degree in the same field from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland, California. In Chinese Medicine the concept of healing is a direction, and it is by this definition that she practices; it is her hope and goal that the directions she prescribes foster greater health and wholeness in her patients.

     She has particular interest in the treatment of mental and emotional conditions, sleep disorders, pain and digestive complaints using herbs and acupuncture.  She presently lives in the gorgeous Trout Lake, Washington and enjoys spending her free time rock climbing, drinking tea, and making art in the company of her ever-playful cat, Meru.

  • Torie Weprin

    LMT

    Licensed Massage Therapist, Movement Instructor

    Torie has spent her life immersed in movement. From competitive running and mountain sports to years of hands-on clinical experience, her approach to bodywork is shaped by both personal experience with recovery and exploration of many different bodywork styles and modalities.

    Growing up in Colorado, she developed an early appreciation for movement through skiing, hiking, and backpacking with her family. As an NCAA Division II cross country and track athlete, Torie relied heavily on many modalities throughout her collegiate running career and has continued to do so during her various, post-collegiate mountain sports pursuits. 

    She graduated from Western State Colorado University in 2014 with a BA in Exercise and Sport Science, and immediately jumped into massage school just up the road in Crested Butte, Colorado. Since graduating from massage school, she's explored many other modalities including Ashiatsu, infant craniosacral, prenatal, cupping and neuromuscular therapy.

    While one great massage can make a big difference, Torie credits much of her recovery and longevity to consistent bodywork and to the collaborative care of massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and athletic trainers. 

    Now, with over 10 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist in both Washington and Oregon, Torie connects deeply to work with active individuals who want to move better, recover more efficiently, and continue doing what they love for as long as possible.

    In June 2026, Torie will graduate from the four-year program in Structural Medicine at the Institute of Structural Medicine — the most comprehensive bodywork education she has undertaken and one that has profoundly transformed her practice. Her lifelong connection to movement, combined with advanced clinical training and years of hands-on experience, allows her to approach each client with a thoughtful, problem-solving mindset and provide a truly individualized experience for athletes and everyday movers alike.

  • Dana Lockhart

    Naturopathic Doctor, Licensed Acupuncturist

She listens with curiosity and openness so that you can feel free to share what's on your mind and heart as it relates to your experience, body pain or emotional pain. She is passionate about walking alongside her patients as they work through their struggles, transforming their suffering into a new possibility- a new spark that enlivens and creates beautiful healing potential through the mind-body connection. She believes wholeheartedly that when the mind is at ease, the body has no reason for dis-ease.

Since then, she has practiced primary care, regenerative medicine, acute and chronic pain relief and focused on mental-emotional wellbeing. During this time she found that many patients had blocks to treatment, and realized these blocks kept people from being well and wanted to dive in deeper. She soon found Vis Dialogue Holistic Counseling as a way to not only address physical conditions through psychological means, but as a way to get into the root cause of behaviors. She completed a 1 year intensive training and is now certified. Combining the beauty of the vis dialogue with acupuncture and herbs allows patients to go deep and transform their suffering to bring your mind, body and spirits back into peaceful balance. To her, healing is not just a destination but a transformative experience.
