An Update from Portland Healing Space: Our Commitment and a New Path Forward
Our Commitment and a New Path Forward
As many of you know, insurance companies are increasingly narrowing what they cover, reducing reimbursement rates, or eliminating benefits altogether. Some of the modalities you have come to rely on—acupuncture, massage, manual therapy, craniosacral work, and other integrative services—are now facing complete disappearance of coverage, or reimbursement rates that have dropped as low as 50%.
On a broader level, new regulatory and marketplace trends are creating higher deductibles, fewer guaranteed benefits, and more restrictions on care. While the policies behind these changes are complex, the effect we’re witnessing is clear: fewer services covered, greater out-of-pocket costs for patients, and less flexibility for practitioners to provide the full depth of care that genuine healing requires.
Staying Rooted in What Matters
Even as this landscape shifts, our dedication remains unwavering. Portland Healing Space continues to offer transformative, grounded, and integrative care for body, mind, energy, and spirit. Our mission is to remain your sanctuary for whole-person healing—where clinical expertise meets intuitive, somatic, and energetic medicine.
We understand that true healing is multidimensional. Beyond the physical body, it includes the energetic, emotional, and spiritual layers that shape health and vitality. Each session is an invitation to reconnect with your own healing intelligence—to rediscover balance, resilience, and the deeper intelligence that animates life itself.
What’s Ahead
In response to these changes, we are developing new ways of working that allow us to sustain and expand our offerings—so you can experience deeper support, richer transformation, and more meaningful connection.
We are moving toward membership-based care and integrative programs that offer a cohesive journey of healing, education, and personal growth. These programs will help guide clients through a process of inquiry, embodiment, and transformation—beyond symptom management and into sustained wellness and self-trust.
We anticipate beginning to share these new offerings in 2026, as part of Portland Healing Space’s continued evolution as a sanctuary for whole-person healing.
At the same time, we’re expanding our out-of-pocket care options—inviting you to invest directly in your health and vitality, independent of the limitations and power dynamics of traditional insurance systems. Choosing to pay for your care out of pocket supports small, community-rooted practices like ours, and helps ensure that skilled, integrative healing remains available and sustainable for all who seek it.
This is an invitation to view your wellness as a living practice—one that grows through attention, commitment, and care. Your health is not a luxury; it’s the foundation for your capacity to live, love, and thrive.
Supporting You Through Change
If your insurance plan changes or your benefits for acupuncture, massage, manual therapy, or integrative care are reduced or removed, please know that we are here to help you navigate your options.
We encourage you to continue tending to your wellbeing—especially now—so you can remain centered, resourced, and resilient. Ongoing care is one of the most effective ways to sustain balance, prevent deeper imbalances, and stay connected to your vitality through times of change.
If you have questions about your current coverage or need guidance while choosing a new plan, Sam, our billing specialist, is here to help.
You can reach Sam directly by:
Sending a message through your Charm Patient Portal, addressed to her by name, or
Texting our main business number and directing your question to Sam and her billing team.
They’ll do their best to help you understand what’s covered and what options best meet your needs for care at Portland Healing Space.
Our Practitioners & Community Vision
We are deeply grateful for the gifted practitioners at Portland Healing Space and the unique blend of modalities each brings. Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more about each practitioner’s expertise, insights, and offerings—inviting you to get to know the rich tapestry of healing available within our walls.
In Closing
These are transformative times—socially, economically, and spiritually. Many of us feel the weight of separation, uncertainty, and rapid change. In response, we choose connection: coming together in community, tending to our inner and outer worlds with compassion, and remembering the innate wisdom that lives in us all.
Our commitment is to hold that container with you—with grace, courage, and belonging—as we walk together into what’s next.
If you have feedback, questions, or simply wish to connect about your care, please reach out. We are here to support you in every way we can.
With warmth, reverence, and gratitude,
Danielle Lombardi
Founder, Portland Healing Space
