Beautiful calming space. Talented, thorough practitioners that helped me heal. A top notch Portland integrative medicine clinic.

Have been a client for over a year, love my provider. She looks at both eastern and western medical approaches for mental/physical health issues. They work with insurance if yours allows for "alternative medicine" visits . Feel heard when discussing my issues and given good recommendations.

I can’t praise Illumination Rock enough. I feel heard. I feel I am in competent hands. If you haven’t heard the term Bio/psycho/social in healthcare, read up on it. They go the extra mile.

I have experienced some major physical recovery with the great expertise on hands work from Kirsten and Holly. I am recovering from a stroke and Kirsten has reduced my pain levels and discomfort. I tried to think I could do more than my body could handle but suffered the consequences of severe discomfort. Through the hands of Holly, she worked my legs through deep tissue massage that rejuvenated my ability to move in a functional manner. Absolutely amazing.

Kirsten is a leader, healer and compassionate soul. She has helped me on numerous occasions. The two visits that stand out the most are when I was suffering from upper respiratory issues and later severe shoulder pain. In both cases, one visit helped tremendously. The clinic is nicely decorated and has a peaceful energy. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Kirsten Isakson at Illumination Rock Integrative medicine. Her skillful combination of acupuncture with other modalities provides pain relief and genuine healing. Her approach is professional, compassionate, and displays a deep dedication to her practice.

I have been seeing Kirsten for several years now. Acupuncture is a modality I have been using regularly in my life for well over a decade and Kirsten is the best. The difference I see in my health and wellbeing because of her and her treatments is significant and I'm so thankful for her knowledge and skills as a practitioner. Not to mention, she's an all around kind and giving human.

“Kirsten is amazing and truly a gem of her profession. She is extremely smart, professional, attentive and intuitive. She is non judgmental, caring and compassionate. She is able to integrate multiple modalities in her treatment sessions and is able to find and treat the root cause of an issue like a boss. I was her client during a really challenging time of my life and Kirsten was one of the only solid care providers who actually helped me thorough this time and she figured things out that even my regular doctor and other care givers missed. Kirsten never ceases to go above an beyond. I am forever grateful for her.”

“Kirsten especially has such a calming and nurturing presence, yet professional and looks at you holistically in body, mind, and spirit. She has such smart intuition, and with many techniques up her sleeves, she uses the right combination every time. Every time I walk out of the clinic, I feel 100% relaxed, happy, and physically improved. They take a myriad of insurance companies, and can work with you on payments. Absolutely love this practice!”

"I've found my guarding angel, Kirsten Isakson, while searching for an alternative in pain management. I have a cage in my neck and one in my lower back, fibromyalgia, and a host of other health issues. Kirsten's human touch, knowledge, and skills are helping me deal with chronic pain, regain body movement, and have given my family and I hope in a world where hope seemed just out of reach. Thanks to my angel Kirsten our future is full of promise. Thank you!"
-Linda
"Kirsten has been one of the greatest blessings in my life today. After 20 years of hard labor my body has suffered several injuries and I experienced major chronic pain. After about a month of treatment, going weekly, I noticed my pain diminish greatly. I have been seeing her for a couple years now on a weekly basis and my health has improved dramatically. I've gotten completely off of pain medication and my mobility has increased drastically. Kirsten is a true magician of sorts and has seemed to find her calling. She is so amazingly tuned in to her patients' energy and I just cannot say enough about her skills as an acupuncturist, Chinese medicine practitioner, and healer."
-S.G.
"Kirsten is an Oriental medicine wizard and a smooth acupuncture operator. Today, I seldom require anything else for the relief of chronic neck and lower back pain, including the relief of symptoms attributed to Meniere’s disease. Kirsten is a miracle worker. Her painless work brings about increasing comfort, mobility, and balance to the quality of my daily life. That is a miracle. What a relief it is to have meet her … literally."
-J.G.
"When I met Kirsten, the orthopedists were telling me surgery was my only option. After a few months of treatment with herbs, acupuncture, and all the other work she does, I'm no longer a candidate for surgery."
-S.B.
"Kirsten is truly gifted and brings the gift of wisdom, presence, and intuition to her work. I will be a lifelong client of Kirsten Isakson; she understands the holistic and vital aspects of well-being.
I trust her innately to attune my body and system for its greatest well-being!
I highly recommend Kirsten!"

"Kirsten fixed a strained pulley tendon in my ring finger [from rock climbing] in just a few sessions and is now helping me with shoulder injuries. I feel like I've made more progress with Kirsten than any other health care professional. Thanks!"
