J. Whiskey Northrop, LAc, MAoM
From a young age, Whiskey developed an empathetic way of connecting with others. Acting as her disabled mothers caretaker, she was both challenged and gifted w/ the deepest gratitude for folx who struggle to care for themselves physically, MENTALLY, spiritually, and financially.
After obtaining a bachelors in film Whiskey realized that though she loved working in an artistic industry, she was lacking a sense of greater fulfillment. In 2014, she obtained a Masters degree from OCOM and runs a private practice in pDX, OREGON.
whiskey believes that Stepping into someone’s life as a ‘healer’ or medical provider as they navigate their health CONcerns and desires is a profound privilege and providing a safe space to lean into that discomfort and transformation is her primary focus.
WHEN WHIskey is not in the office, she can be found in nature w/ her pup ‘Homie’ or sharing snack plates in good company.
