Face reading is the heart of Wise Hearts Connect — offered virtually so you can connect from anywhere. Hilarey's licensed acupuncture practice continues alongside it, in Portland. There's a place here for you, wherever you are.
Chinese face reading — the tradition Hilarey trained in through Lillian Pearl Bridges and the Lotus Institute — is one of the oldest self-knowledge systems in Chinese medicine. Your face holds a detailed map of your constitutional nature, emotional history, strengths, and the unique gifts you carry into this world.
Reading Hilarey's features through the lens of the Five Elements, she reveals patterns that often feel immediately, deeply true. Most people leave saying "I've never felt so seen." Choose the format that fits your life:
Alongside Wise Hearts Connect, Hilarey runs her licensed acupuncture practice in Portland. Five Element acupuncture is a classical form of Chinese medicine that treats the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — asking which Element is calling for attention right now.
In clinical practice since 2007, she brings genuine care, deep listening, and 17+ years of experience to every appointment — treating people across the full spectrum of life, from children to elders, and even a few four-legged friends.
Distance is never a barrier to being seen. A virtual reading carries the same depth as sitting in the room together — many clients find the screen-to-screen intimacy adds something special. Here's exactly what to expect:
