Hi! My name is Lisa, and I am a Licensed Acupuncturist with a Masters Degree in Acupuncture from The New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In addition, I am a certified Kyojung practitioner. Having spent time in the U.S. and China studying among the doctors of Shanghai University Hospital, University of Bridgeport, and NYCTCM, I am inspired to continue to educate myself on treatment protocols and patient care. The success of my own patients speaks to the efficacy of my treatment methods, and is the driving force behind my dedication to treating musculoskeletal pain. Patients greatly appreciate the benefits of this integrated and practical approach. I look forward to treating you, and referrals are always welcome!

I grew up on the NW Oregon coast, exploring tide pools and breathing in the salty ocean air. Being surrounded by the lush forests and abundant plant life of the Pacific Northwest nurtured my love for herbs and plant medicine from an early age. As I began  studying Indigenous plant traditions, I discovered East Asian Medicine. This discovery,  combined with my heart for healing, led me to pursue formal training in Acupuncture and  Chinese Herbal Medicine. 

Creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard is central to my work. I believe the deepest healing happens best when you feel relaxed and supported . My practice is rooted in compassion and inclusivity, and I am committed to providing a welcoming environment for people of all abilities, races, sizes, gender identities, and sexualities. 

I hold a special place in my heart for reproductive health and feel honored to walk alongside people through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and into menopause. During  fertility work, I encourage both partners to come in for care. I find that this helps bridge  the gap so that partners can work together with more compassion towards one another, in the ultimate goal of building a family. I also have specialized training in integrative cancer care, as well as pediatric care, offering gentle, non-insertive therapies. 

I bring with me two decades in experience as a practitioner of Acupuncture and East Asian  medicine. I believe in caring for the whole person and gently uncovering the root of imbalance  so true healing can unfold. Treatments with me may include acupuncture, East asian bodywork,  abdominal massage and customized Chinese herbal formulas. At each visit I work to collaborate,  taking time to listen, adjust, and create a plan that feels supportive and aligned with your unique  goals. 

I have been fortunate to work in several integrative medical settings alongside physicians and  specialists, supporting patients through complex health challenges, including substance use disorders and cancer care. When I am not at working at Seven dragons , I also work at the OHSU  Knight Cancer Center in Astoria, Oregon, where I provide acupuncture to patients receiving  chemotherapy and radiation. It is rewarding to witness how East Asian medicine can support the  body during conventional treatment. 

I earned my Master of Health Sciences in Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine from Bastyr  University in Seattle in 2003. My clinical training took place at Bastyr Center for Natural Health  and at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Shanghai, China. Studying in China was a  profound experience that connected me directly to the living lineage of Chinese Medicine and  deeply shaped the way I practice today. 

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me wandering forest trails, soaking in the beauty of  the Northwest. I cherish time with my partner, son and our animals. I love cooking, studying  herbal medicine, and sewing.

Whitney Hayes, ND, LAc, (she/her), is a skilled naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist practicing at Seven Dragons Integrative Medicine in Portland, Oregon. 

Dr. Hayes grew up in Arkansas, and through her life experiences and travels around the world, a theme began to emerge – she loved helping people. She strives for her patients to feel heard and supported in their treatment visits. As an avid listener, Dr. Hayes enjoys engaging with patients to empower them on their unique, individual healing journey. She views herself as a guide to help her patients achieve greater wellness. Dr. Hayes don’t believe in masking symptoms, but rather supporting their inner vitality to arise.  

Dr. Haye brings a unique style of medicine into her treatments with tools of both Eastern and Western medicine. Trained in two disciplines – Naturopathic medicine and Classical Chinese medicine – she combines these ancient techniques with modern research. She can incorporate acupuncture treatments, as well as naturopathic supplements and lifestyle suggestions. 

One area that Dr. Hayes has a great passion for treating is gastroenterology and helping people achieve optimal digestive health. She loves treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as well as many other digestive disorders. One particular cause of IBS can be a disorder called Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). She has helped many patients with this condition. If you are struggling with IBS or any other digestive complaint, then Dr. Hayes can certainly help.  

One patient population that she has found a niche in treating is babies and children with digestive complaints. Dr. Hayes loves working with kids and their parents to help them get their digestion back to a healthy, balanced place. If your child is struggling with tummy aches, constipation, or skin issues (which are often tied to digestive imbalances), then she can certainly help them too.  

When not practicing medicine, Dr. Hayes enjoys spending time with her wife and our two daughters. We enjoy hiking with our dogs, camping and backpacking throughout the Northwest, going to Portland Fire and Thorns games, and cooking wonderful meals with friends.
