Get to know Me
I am an inspired community healer, bringing holistic natural medicine to support the ongoing challenges of living with mental illness and anxiety, pain, chronic illness, addiction, and traumas of the body, mind, and spirit.
Otis Bell, RAc
I am a queer transgender registered Acupuncturist, practicing in the fields of community holistic medicine for over twenty years in communities along the Salish Sea, with ancestries from the original white settler colonies of Turtle Island, even a few who were burned as witches in Salem, and pagan Druidic, Celtic, and Nordic coastal peoples of Western and Northern Europe. I am a medical intuitive, Astrologer, Bodyworker, herbalist, psychic holistic health practitioner, and a witch in the Reclaiming Tradition of community justice and animist ancestral magic.
Trainings include: Oshio School of Acupuncture and Herbology, Wild Seeds Herb School, Bodymechanics School of Myotherapy and Massage, International Medical QI Gong Institute Therapist Level, Fire Rose School of Elemental Medicine
I began my journey as a healer on my own journey to find myself and find healing. As a queer transgender man I have been in communities with huge amounts of mental, emotional, physical, social, and financial impacts of oppression in settler colonial society.
It is my honor to bring useful treatments to this community, and to create access to them.
This includes building relationships to knowledge, practice, and people so that I can work ongoing to undo my own internalized racism.
Healing is many things, not necessarily what I had originally thought when I set out on this path.
I now work with the patient as the teacher and healer in the room, in a guided listening and witnessing to the knowledge from their body.
I create a treatment plan that includes the body, mind, emotions, and spirit of the patient.
My work is helpful for transforming pain and stress, by breaking patterns and regulating the body, helping it remember and align to its vitality and wellness.
