Dr. Ginger Werwinski

(she/her)

doctor of chiropractic

Dr. Ginger Werwinski, she/her, is a chiropractor licensed and practicing in both Oregon and Washington since 2007.

During her years of practice Ginger has been committed to empowering others, from kids to seniors, to feel more connected with their bodies and health. Helping people recognize not only what factors contribute to symptoms they are experiencing, but positive changes they can make to help themselves.

Ginger’s interest in movement and wellness began early in life. As soon as she was big enough to put some weight behind her thumbs and elbows she was trained in Kiatsu by her father, Dr. Gary Winebrenner. Long before becoming a chiropractor he trained and taught Aikido for decades, passing on the body work component to his daughter, Ginger. They both found their careers in chiropractic, helping people move and feel better. She knows personally and professionally there is no “one size fits all” approach to our sense of health and well being. Each of us brings a wide range of variables. Chiropractic care, with a mindful and knowledgeable practitioner, can help address some of them.

Treatment with Ginger may include: manual adjusting, low-force Activator adjusting, extremity adjusting, manual therapy, trigger point therapy, cold laser, therapeutic exercise, and guidance for work or lifestyle modifications.

Additionally, she is trauma informed and gives support from a weight neutral, HAES (Health At Every Size) standpoint.

On a personal level, Ginger knows first hand what it is to experience constant chronic pain; to have one’s life upended by chronic illness. She knows that making changes for your health can feel overwhelming. But she has also learned from her own experience that even incremental shifts can add up over time to big health changes, and she no longer lives in constant pain.

Conditions treated:

  • Neck Pain
  • Back Pain
  • Jaw pain and TMJ
  • Migraines
  • Headaches
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Wrist Pain
  • Ankle/Foot Pain
  • Plantar Fasciitis

 

In her free time Ginger is an avid home gardener and cook. When not busy between work and family life, her favorite afternoons are spent with her dog in the garden, watching bees and watering plants. She aspires to be an advocate for clean water, and is a proud Mama Bear.

Ginger is available for care on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays and accepts Oregon Health Plan, most private insurance and Motor Vehicle Accident insurance. She is accepting new patients at Be Well!

Tasha Searles

(she/they)

advanced practice nurse

Tasha Searles, APRN, AGCNS-BC is a Queer, Autistic, ADHDer with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome + some other commonly co-occurring conditions. Originally from Indiana, they now reside in Portland, Oregon with their two rambunctious cats. Tasha enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, learning, and finding new ways to be creative.

 

Professionally, Tasha is trained as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (a type of advanced practice nurse, similar to a Nurse Practitioner), and has been a nurse for over a decade —mostly working with individuals impacted by chronic or complex health conditions. They started in diabetes care and became a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist, so much of their work has been related to diabetes and nutrition. They also spent many years as a Nurse Navigator helping clients navigate the healthcare system. Their personal health journey, and realization of the huge gaps in available care, led them to shift their professional practice to serve others on similar journeys as their own.

 

Tasha has been told she’s inquisitive and “a very good detective”. Being curious, digging deep, and thinking outside of the box (all while keeping the whole picture in mind) are really her favorite things in this life. Tasha’s style in working with patients is as a consultant & coach. She believes you are the expert in your own self and aims to empower you, provide hope, and help you to use your own innate wisdom to live your best life!

 

Tasha’s goal is to create a safer space for all to receive appropriate healthcare that is affirming & accommodating of individual needs; a space that encourages exploration and self-determination of what wellness & thriving mean in your individual life. They practice from a trauma informed perspective that is neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, disability, & HAES affirming. Tasha is able to order diagnostic tests and prescribe medications, but also works with clients on nervous system safety, nutrition, hydration, gut health, musculoskeletal health & movement, sleep, mental & emotional health, stress management, creating a life they love, finding joy, & more.

 

Tasha is available for telehealth consultations for Oregon Health Plan members and is accepting new patients ages 16 & up. Because all visits are conducted virtually, Tasha does not serve as a Primary Care Provider (PCP).
