Open Gate Clinic

Feb 2021

I just had my first one hour acupuncture/ massage combo session and all I have to say is I feel amazing! It was really weird at first. Some of the needles hurt pretty bad initially. For me, when it comes to pain I have to get my mind right, right away to take my focus off of it. I instantly started meditating and repeating to myself, “all of the pain, stress and toxins are leaving my body. All of the pain, stress and toxins are leaving my body...” I said that a bazillion times until I fell asleep and started drooling. OK then it got kind of trippy and while I was laying face down with my eyes closed I felt like I was traveling through space LOL I kept seeing flashes of white light and I honestly feel like each flash of white light was the pain, the stress and the toxins leaving my body.  As far as the massage part goes it was by far the best massage I have ever had in my life! I highly recommend doing acupuncture with a combination of massage. Check out Richard Pope at Open Gate acupuncture clinic in Portland on Burnside he is pretty awesome!
