Roxanne is the owner and founder of RituaLuna Wellness and has been practicing therapeutic massage since 2001, western medical herbalism since 2012, and recently graduated from an intensive 4 year Masters of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from OCOM/NUNM. Over her years of practice, she has developed a strong sense of intuitive awareness of people’s physical, spirit, and energetic bodies and has been able to cultivate skills of deeply listening to and observing many layers of client’s embodied experience. Her focus is on creating a firm foundation of safety, embodiment, and coherence with clients through every level of care including the intake and consent process, initial touch, supported movement, craniosacral listening and treatment, gentle fascia release techniques, pelvic therapies, pulse reading, acupuncture, cupping, and herbal treatment.
She has studied trauma and its effects for many years, including not only how to increase survivors' sense of safety and wellbeing during treatment, but also how to hold people in safety as they unwind and integrate trauma that is held in the body. She has worked extensively and for many years with clients who live in hyper-mobile (HEDS etc.) and physiologically divergent bodies and has developed techniques to help stabilize, de-stress, and safely treat the pain and dysregulation that frequently accompanies living in complex bodies. She is currently completing a 9 month advanced training in Chinese Classical Herbal Medicine for gynecology with the White Pine Circle. Other areas of unique specialization are Myofascial scar release therapies, Gua Sha, Cupping, Taishen (non-insertive needling), Myofascial release for the breasts/chest including for those who’ve undergone top surgery/mastectomy/cancer treatment, internal and external pelvic therapies, and somatic unwinding.
As an acupuncturist she draws from many traditions as well as her own long cultivated sense of intuitive attunement to provide the most gentle and effective acupuncture technique for the client. She incorporates direct orthopedic needling (as needed) with distal points that support the foundations of health, improve qi and blood circulation, clear heat, nourish specific organs, and most importantly calm and stabilize the spirit. She is a lifelong learner and her primary goal is effective treatment and strives to always be pushing herself to be a better provider for her clients.
In addition, she has a long history as a public health advocate and strives to increase access and affordability in health care. She worked alongside many wonderful providers including MDs, nurses, social workers, and herbalists at Occupy Medical in Eugene for 6 years providing integrative herbal medicine and structural support for people living unhoused and/or undocumented. She has also volunteered for various other organizations over her career and is working towards providing affordable community acupuncture care through RituaLuna Wellness within the next few months.
She is currently credentialed as an LMT only with Providence, Regence, and Moda Health. She is awaiting review for Acupuncture credentialing with Regence, Moda, Kaiser/Heraya, and Aetna. Her bio and the insurance page will be updated as she goes into network as an acupuncturist.
She currently offers 60 and 90 minute Myofascial release sessions, 60 and 90 minute Myofascial & Acupuncture sessions, and 60 minute Acupuncture only sessions that are available for online booking.
