His clinical approach to patient care blends core wellness concepts from traditional Asian medicines and Functional Medicine with holistic, evidence-based therapies. Scott creates individualized treatment plans for his patients that build on Root Whole Body’s core values of nutrition, movement, resilience, and restoration.

The foundation of Dr. Thomas’ treatment approach was influenced not only by her career experience, but also by her own journey with functional medicine. Throughout graduate school and after giving birth, Dr. Thomas struggled to feel well, brushing off aches and pains as her “new normal.” Despite medical tests, bloodwork, and conventional doctors telling her nothing was wrong with her, Dr. Thomas decided to take her health into her own hands. With functional medicine, she was able to regain a level of optimal health and win the constant battles over her biology. She is here to help you do the same.

You will learn to tune in to the signals your body is telling you. Only then can you give it what it needs to heal, thrive, and learn how not to follow in your family’s medical footprints. Building from a “nature cure” philosophy (food, water, air, movement, relationships), I specialize in developing personalized lifestyle plans that align to your unique individual makeup and lifestyle.

You are a human, not a robot, and you don’t have to be perfect. You have built in resilience which allows you to make choices. Finding your optimum vitality is about making conscious decisions most of the time, not every time. I want to empower you to abandon guilt, and embrace your ability to live consciously. It’s that simple, and that powerful.

I have helped people avoid hip and knee replacements, recover from auto accidents, heal from concussions and regain mobility they thought they would never have again. I also work on the emotional and psychological levels, using the body itself as the venue for renegotiating old traumas and developing new resources.

I help people to not just liberate themselves from pain, but to become empowered in their own bodies; to inhabit and live fully connected and embodied.

I am trained in classical Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine derived from the Nei Jing and Shang han za bing lun. I utilize osteopathic techniques such as craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation, structural integration and myofascial release, as well as somatic based psychology and trauma work derived from somatic experiencing, bodynamics, psychosynthesis, and other body centered forms of mental and emotional therapy. I work with clients where they are at, and can adapt my treatment to include more or less acupuncture or bodywork depending on their need and inclination.

I’m Annalise DuSell, a sports Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). I found my passion for physical therapy and strength training while dealing with childhood ankle sprains and later when taking preventative measures as a competitive softball pitcher. My career began in 2009 after graduating from “The U” (The University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida).

Since 2009, I have constantly sought to learn new techniques while fine-tuning the skills I already have. I’m trained in Active Release Technique (ART) and Graston. I’ve also taken multiple Institute of Clinical Excellence (ICE) courses, and have earned my CSCS from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

I enjoy treating shoulders and OH athletes of any kind, which led me to obtain my Baseball Overhead Athlete Certification from the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS). I also love treating CrossFit athletes and enjoy doing CF myself. This includes my passion for teaching people lifting mechanics and helping increase their confidence in lifting weights.

My numerous professional certifications and personal areas of focus combine to offer my clients a wide range of custom-tailored treatment options that are grounded in real science.

Some things to know about me:

I’ve been practicing yoga since 2005 and teaching yoga since 2017.
I discovered Rolfing® in 2015 when I sought treatment to help restore function to my feet. Needless to say, my life was transformed, and I opened my own Rolfing® practice in 2022.
A former competitive athlete, I’ve harnessed my love for movement into modalities that prioritize embodiment, exploration, and play.
I’m in constant relationship with questions about what it means to be embodied, and how our relationships with our bodies can resource us for this crazy thing we call life.
I am a “woo-averse” practitioner. My approach to my work is based on my thousands of hours of study in anatomy, kinesiology, biomechanics, nervous system science, and functional movement principles, as well as my own lived-experience with inhabiting an active, aging body. The more energetic realms are simply beyond my grasp cognitively and experientially, so I don’t center them in my practice.
I am also a “modality-agnostic” practitioner. I have learned that the vast diversity of bodies and nervous systems in my community demand a vast diversity in approaches to care, and I have done enough self-work to let go of the expectation that my work is the right fit for everyone 🙂 If you would like any referrals to other teachers or practitioners, I have built an amazing network of folks who I would be happy to introduce you to (yoga teachers, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, somatic therapists, personal trainers, and beyond).
I have personal experience with abuse and trauma, and am a forever-student of trauma-informed principles—which I am committed to employing to support you in feeling safe and resourced in your body. If you ever feel that I’m not delivering in this regard, I warmly welcome your feedback, and I promise to move through earnest attempts to repair and reestablish trust with you.

Gina has a fierce passion for helping people learn to love being in their bodies. She is proud of her “hero’s journey”- spending her first 30 years in the dance community, active but hating herself due to the strict beauty and body standards at that time. After having her daughter in 2014 and rehabbing from childbirth, dance injuries and an abusive relationship, she found medicine in movement and her new mission- to show others the path to pain free body joy.

Gina walks her talk by constantly seeking optimal lifestyle solutions that are sustainable, in hopes of enjoying life as a human well into her 100’s. She lives with her cheetah-like daughter and dog-like cat in SE Portland, dances to anything, and is in constant pursuit of Portland’s best biscuit.

In a candid interview with Bold Journey, Gina shares how she transformed personal challenges into Portland Integrative Fitness’s holistic approach to movement and healing.

A real “Gal Friday”, Clementine has journeyed many career paths in her life, weaving through the artist and maker world to marketing and real estate, and now into the health and fitness space.

A former burlesque performer, Clementine approaches everything with her signature flair(and the occasional shimmy).

A passion for strength training and resilience-building movement led Clementine to pursue her CPT accreditation through NASM, and pursue a mid-life career shift to the fitness and training profession.
