Steve has been a practitioner of traditional Asian medicine since 1998. In addition to Riverpath Clinic, he is currently an acupuncture clinical supervisor at the Courage Center Transitional Rehabilitation Program in Golden Valley, and an adjunct faculty member at the Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Northwestern Health Science University in Bloomington. Steve is a network provider for Health Partners. Personal Statement My practice is rooted in shiatsu and Asian bodywork and informed by a holistic and energetic understanding of the human experience. In this view, dis-ease--whether physical or emotional-is the result of an imbalance in the mind/body/spirit of the individual. In the clinic I may use bodywork, acupuncture, qigong, electro-therapy, herbal medicine, or dietary and lifestyle recommendations to stimulate your return to balance, health and a sense of personal well-being.

Lorene Harris
L.Ac., Dipl. OM, MaOM, Cert. ABT

Lorene has practiced Asian Medicine since 1998 in the form of shiatsu. She now holds a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and her practice includes acupuncture, shiatsu/tui na, herbal medicine, and dietary therapy. She has a special interest in auto-immune diseases, infertility, and chronic pain, and would like to see more communication between Eastern and Western medicine.

Personal Statement

I feel there are many ways to healing but they all start with self acceptance and embracing the path of least resistance. The body is well equipped to heal itself, in most cases, if we could only get out of the way. I strive to work together with my patients, in a cooperative effort, to balance the physical, mental/emotional, and energetic disharmonies that result from daily stress, nutritional imbalance, and lifestyle choices. By working together, the outcome for success is much more attainable.
