Dr. Karima Johnson, LAc

Dr. Karima graduated from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine with a dual degree of Doctorate and Masters of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. She is also a certified diplomate of Herbal medicine by the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (NCBAHM), and is licensed by the Oregon Medical Board. Dr. Karima was first introduced to Traditional Chinese Medicine while she was living abroad in China for three years, and completed a yearlong externship at Number 2 People’s Hospital in Hubei, China. During this time, Dr. Karima was exposed to various modalities in Chinese medicine and their effective use in treating a range of conditions, including acupuncture, herbal formulas, moxibustion, cupping and gua sha.

Dr. Karima has always had a special interest in mental health disorders, and the ways that we understand and treat these conditions, along with orthopedic/sports related acute/chronic injuries. She is also experienced in helping to manage digestive and immune disorders, as well as infertility, reproductive health, and pregnancy support. She is very passionate about drawing from the different modalities that she has learned to find the right approach for each individual patient, and create treatment plans that are realistic and sustainable during their course of care.

Dr. Karima is an avid herbalist, and aims to incorporate Chinese herbal formulas into her treatment plans for each patient as a way of focusing on the condition from an internal lens on a daily basis; a complementary strategy that works alongside acupuncture as a wholistic plan. Dr. Karima also includes simple lifestyle and nutrition recommendations to help guide patients on their journey to physical, mental and emotional health and wellness.

When Dr. Karima is not in clinic, she enjoys dancing, spending time with family and friends, and trying new restaurants.
