Dr. Ev Juniper
Doctor of East Asian Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist
I practice in the spirit of traditional East Asian Medicine, where healing is both an art and a science—shaped by embodied experience and cultivated wisdom.
Each session is grounded in attentive care and clinical insight. I take time to listen deeply and understand your story, often weaving longer consultations with focused follow-ups to support ongoing, individualized care. My work bridges the scientific and the spiritual, honoring the complexity of healing as it weaves through your personal story and life path.
As an acupuncturist, I use fewer needles, placed with intention, creating space for the system to reorganize itself. My style is gentle—slow medicine that works deeply over time. While immediate relief may emerge, my aim is always toward lasting change, wherever it’s possible. My style is subtle, precise, and often quietly transformational.
What to expect
Eastern medicine works on many levels—physical, emotional, energetic. Healing often unfolds in unexpected ways, rarely following a straight line. Unlike conventional approaches, this medicine embraces the unseen—emotion, energy, and consciousness—and how they shape our physical health. It takes the long view, aiming not just for symptom relief, but for deep regeneration, resilience, and long-term vitality.
Rooted in nature’s wisdom, wastern medicine recognizes that no two people heal the same way. Just as different plants thrive in different environments, each person responds uniquely to care. What helps one body restore balance might disrupt another.
That’s why treatment is individualized, shaped by your unique presentation and needs. It’s slow medicine—but restorative. What it lacks in quick fixes, it makes up for in lasting change.
Education, Training & Scholarship
Dr. Ev is a board-certified acupuncturist (NCCAOM) licensed by the Oregon Medical Board, with a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM) and a Master’s in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in Portland, Oregon. During graduate school, she immersed herself in multiple acupuncture systems, herbal traditions, and the deep roots of East Asian Medicine.
Her background also includes a Bachelor of Science in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology from CSU Fullerton, where she completed her pre-medical studies and graduated with honors. She spent three years in a naturopathic medical program, which enriched her understanding of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology, western herbs, supplements, and nutrition—before ultimately dedicating herself fully to eastern medicine after a personally transformative experience.
In practice, Dr. Ev will integrate eastern and western perspectives to create individualized, holistic treatment strategies, and collaborate fluidly with practitioners across disciplines.
Outside the clinic, she is a scholar exploring the roots of eastern medicine through philosophy, character etymology, and early texts. Her work bridges ancient wisdom with embodied experience—reviving the deep insights encoded in the ancient philosophical and medical writings of the early Chinese scholars and sages.
