Cascade Acupuncture Center's Team

Lindsey Dority, LAc – Clinical Director

I am Lindsey Dority, Licensed Acupuncturist! I discovered the transformational power of Chinese Medicine in my 20’s which allowed me to find solutions to frustrating health issues that Western Medicine could not solve.

My symptoms were being treated, but not the underlying issue, similar to putting out fires while leaving the coals burning. One day while traveling home from work I found myself turning into the acupuncture school near my home. I began treatment with a talented practitioner and the effectiveness of acupuncture on my health was profound.

During a treatment I had an epiphany while needles were in my body, I wanted to do this! I wanted to help people find their way back to health and vitality! It felt exhilarating to find my calling and, the rest is history. I am thrilled to be part of the CAC team. I really look forward to meeting you and helping you on your health journey.

Janet Wrege, ND, LAc – Team Lead

I grew up in Western New York where my curiosity about the natural world was first sparked among the forests and meadows where many of our wild herbal allies grow.

I discovered Chinese medicine in my late 20s after struggling to heal from a shoulder injury through the conventional medical system. This drove me to deepen my education in the healing arts and to share what I have learned with others, as we each deserve a more holistic and supportive healing journey.

I hold degrees as a Naturopathic Doctor and a Masters of Oriental Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland OR. I have experience working with physical pain, mental and emotional imbalances, digestive complaints, asthma, allergies, fatigue, women’s health, and immune support.

I am very excited to be part of the Cascade Acupuncture Center team and offer my services to the Columbia Gorge community to support their path to wellness. I am working in both clinics, Hood River and The Dalles.
