Ikigai Wellness

Offering gentle medicine for chronic pain, chronic illness and emotional support in Tigard, OR.

Amy Homer-Brown is a licensed acupuncturist in Portland, Oregon, born and raised on the beautiful island of Barbados. She has always been drawn to the art of medicine and healing and set out to become a doctor since childhood. However, she believed that there was more to medicine than medications and surgery and during her years as a medical student, sought more wholistic practices. Amy began her

medical career in 2008 as a doctor, obtaining an allopathic medical degree in 2014 in her home country, Barbados. After 12 months of working as a medical intern in a public hospital in Trinidad, Amy decided to pursue a degree in natural medicine instead of continuing on to a medical residency program. Her dream was to pursue and practice a form of medicine that complemented the body’s innate abilities of self-healing, viewed each person as an individual and shared her beliefs in the mind-body connection for healing. It was at NUNM in Portland, OR, where she found her home in Classical Chinese Medicine. Amy’s acupuncture style follows closely with Traditional Japanese techniques which are gentle and incredibly effective. Such techniques include gentle insertive needling, non-insertive needling, moxibustion and gentle bodywork such as sotai, myofascial release and cranialsacral therapy. Amy enjoys working with a diverse patient population with conditions such as acute and chronic pain, chronic illness (such as digestive conditions, Lyme disease, mold toxicity and neurological conditions) and the secondary stress, anxiety and depression that can result. Amy is not a licensed MD in the United States but enjoys using her medical knowledge in understanding her patients from a biomedical perspective, speaking and translating the Western language of medicine, and combining it with her knowledge of East Asian medicine. She is a national board-certified acupuncturist with the NCCAOM and Oregon Medical Board.

💫 Welcome our newest massage therapist, Pearl 💫

Pearl has focused her practice with the mindset that massage is an amazing tool for helping people feel more at home and functional in their bodies. She took clinical training at Oregon School of Massage in Portland in Shiatsu as well as Swedish. She weaves in myofascial release, deep tissue and trigger point techniques in her sessions when appropriate, careful to go at the pace of the tissue’s release carefully listening for how the impact of techniques applied are affecting her clients and making appropriate adjustments as the session progresses.

In her life outside of massage she is a fusion dancer, painter, and costume creatrix. These artistic endeavors all involve a careful dance between planned intention, observation of outcome, and response to outcome as she goes through the creative process. This way of thinking crosses over into her sessions. A session begins with a conversation between client and LMT, a goal or intention is set, and as we go we observe the impact of the techniques and respond to the outcome of those techniques intelligently like a somatic conversation… or a dance!

💆‍♂️ Pearl is available every Tue & Wed & every other Sat for massage!

✨️ Introducing Chiropractic Care at Ikigai Wellness with Dr. Parto Payami ✨️

Dr. Parto Payami, originally from Tehran, has dedicated her career to helping people enhance well-being and vitality through gentle, holistic chiropractic care. She earned her degree in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Irvine in 1994, followed by her Doctor of Chiropractic from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1998. In 2001, she expanded her training through the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture.

Drawing on a wide range of techniques — including diversified and activator methods, craniosacral therapy, Applied Kinesiology (AK), Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), and Nimmo techniques — Dr. Payami creates personalized treatments that support the brain and nervous system’s natural coherence. She often combines precise adjustments with myofascial and soft tissue release to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function.

What sets Dr. Parto apart is the time and care she gives to each patient. She listens carefully, addressing not only physical discomfort but also the underlying stressors that affect alignment. Her holistic approach aims to restore clear communication between the brain and the body’s innate intelligence to heal itself. So her patients may function and feel their very best.

Beyond her practice, she is always a seeker — passionate about learning, exploring wellness, and embracing the meaningful things life has to offer.

❔️FAQ: How big is the chamber?

Our HBOT chamber is a 40" FDA approved soft shell.

That means my broad-shouldered Hawaiian built 5' 11" husband fits comfortably with extra space above and around him even when sitting upright. PLUS I fit comfortably too!

Yes, we do HBOT sessions together. Two people fit comfortably here.

This cool guy is also a certified HBOT technician and runs all HBOT treatments in the clinic.

What questions do you have about the HBOT?
