A Story Much Like Yours
A lingering sense of dissatisfaction and dis-ease with his overall health and well-being, coupled with the stresses of working for 10 years in the mortgage industry, prompted Cody to enroll in Portland’s renowned Oregon College of Oriental Medicine master’s program. After earning his degree in Chinese medicine in 2015 and becoming a licensed acupuncturist (LAc) and Herbalist, Cody felt full of knowledge but depleted after his rigorous training – he wanted to dive deeper into a practice focused on healing from within. Consequently, he pursued a certification from Functional Medicine University (CFMP), which he completed along with a certification in hair tissue mineral analysis (hTMAP).
Cody understands the overwhelming benefits of functional medicine both personally and professionally. He strives to share his experience and expertise with his patients in a compassionate and intentional way. Having felt and lived the need for a new way of doing life, Cody helps his patients pursue the life they desire. He’s attentive to his patient’s health and well-being nuances – those of the body and the mind. Cody seeks to really know his patients and curates customized treatment protocols to address the root cause of the ailments that are preventing them from living their healthiest and happiest lives.
