Clients Say
“A few years back I was in a rut and needed someone to help me back on a healthy path. I have gone to acupuncture, chiropractors, counseling but never found the results I have since I started seeing Dr. Lasse two years ago. I had low energy, bad allergies, monthly PMS pain, and a job that left me depressed. Since I started seeing Dr. Lasse my PMS has nearly disappeared, I found the energy to start my own successful business, and emotionally got much healthier and have the love of my life. Dr. Lasse's techniques are simple yet extremely effective. Since my incredible results my mother has started going to Dr. Lasse. She has lost 35 pounds, is getting rid of bladder infections, and for the first time has the energy to go hiking! Thanks Dr. Lasse for changing my life, my mothers life, and now 4 more friends are going to you. You are AMAZING!”
“Dr Lasse is a fantastic Naturopathic Doctor. I really appreciate her focus and sincerity. She catches every detail and formulates a treatment plan that works with my lifestyle. My health improved immediately with her treatment. Her cranial sacral therapy is an added bonus. I always leave feeling lighter and happier. I have worked with many Naturopath’s in Portland and Dr. Lasse is one the best I have seen. She is very smart and has the ability to explain things in ways that are easy to understand. I am very lucky to have found her!”

Raina quickly diagnosed and treated the problems, but also has been looking at the whole picture, such as dietary changes, sleep and other healthful activities. Raina is a kind, warm person who truly wants her clients to be healthy and happy”
