A Bit About Al
Al Reed (they/them) is a licensed acupuncturist in Portland, OR, and has extensive experience in treating acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain through acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and bodywork.
Other focuses include: hormonal issues (everything from perimenopause to cycle support to easing side effects of HRT), fertility, holistic skin care + microneedling, postoperative care, insomnia, anxiety, grief support, and stress management.
​
They were recognized as one of Portland’s Top Acupuncturists by Portland Monthly Magazine’s Top Doctors List for 2022.
​
Along with being a healthcare provider, Al co founded and helps organize the group Queer Health Care Provider Meet Up- an interdisciplinary group of LGBTQI2S+ health care providers focused on education and community support.
​
Their approach is informed by being a white, non-binary, trans masculine, queer person. Al has a passion for serving the LGBTQ2+ community and creating better, affirming clinical spaces for people of all identities
​
Healthcare is deeply personal, and has not always been a safe space for many; having had an ugly history of racism, systematic oppression, and injustice. Al strives to stay accountable and do better, to honor and respect the indigenous roots of East Asian Medicine, and to incorporate social justice and health equality in the clinic space and community.
