Dr. Maura Dawgert, L.Ac., DAcOM (she/her)

Maura is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and breathwork facilitator.  She loves treating all patients, with a focus on pain management, women's health, and mental-emotional health.  Maura's journey with traditional Asian medicine began after watching her cousin and aunt pass away from breast cancer.  These experiences motivated her to explore acupuncture and herbal medicine as alternatives to Western medical care.  

She received her Doctorate from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, Master's degree from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, Traditional Asian Bodywork and Acupressure certification from the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, and Bachelor's of Science from Loyola University of Chicago.  After finishing her Master's, she worked in the People's Republic Hospital in Nanjing, China in internal medicine and pediatrics.  She also served as an acupuncturist in rural communities in Nepal.

In her spare time she likes to backpack the Pacific NW with her trusty pup, ski, sail, cook, tinker in her garden, wildcraft herbs, keep bees, and nerd out on Chinese medicine. 

Maura now accepts MODA, Regence, Providence, Pacific Source, Kaiser, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare and Motor Vehicle Accident Insurance.
