About Dr. Ev
Doctor of East Asian Medicine and Owner of ECHO Acupuncture
You've probably already tried to sort this out. The protocols, the supplements, the advice that sounded right at the time — and still, nothing quite held. Or it improved, then came back. That's usually the point where people find their way to ECHO.
My work isn't a formula applied the same way to everyone. It's understanding what your body is actually doing — the pattern underneath the symptom — and treating precisely enough that, where lasting change is possible, it holds.
Some of that happens fast. Some takes time and consistency. Either way, the goal is the same: helping you feel and function at your best, with as little reliance on medication or procedures as your situation allows.
What you put into this process shapes what comes out of it. For patients ready to engage with that, the change available can be substantial.
That's the work at the heart of ECHO.

Advanced training in herbal medicine, nutraceutical support and custom formula design within East Asian Medicine
Dr. Evren "Ev" Juniper, DAcCHM, LAc is a Doctor of East Asian Medicine and licensed acupuncturist practicing at ECHO Acupuncture in Gladstone, Oregon. Her clinical work integrates classical East Asian Medicine, clinical herbal prescribing, western botanicals, and evidence-informed nutraceutical support to address a wide range of health, hormonal, digestive, nervous system, and musculoskeletal concerns. She approaches care as a whole-body clinical system — looking upstream from symptoms to understand what's driving them, and supporting the regulatory systems that govern repair, adaptation, and function through precise, individualized intervention.
Training and Clinical Background
Dr. Ev is a board-certified acupuncturist licensed by the Oregon Medical Board. She holds both a Doctorate and Master's in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine (DAcCHM, MAcCHM) from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in Portland, Oregon.
Her clinical work is rooted in the diagnostic framework and philosophical depth of East Asian Medicine — a system that understands the body as an integrated whole, responsive to precise intervention at every level of function. She brings to that foundation a fluency in both classical theory and modern physiology, not as competing frameworks but as different languages describing the same clinical reality. Her training spans multiple lineages and traditions within the field, deepening her capacity to meet each patient's presentation with the full range of what the medicine offers.
This breadth supports a nuanced, layered approach to care. Treatments may address musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, while also working with internal patterns related to stress, digestion, hormonal balance, and systemic regulation. By bridging traditional and modern frameworks, she is able to respond to what is most clinically relevant in the moment — whether that is local tissue dynamics, broader physiological patterns, or the interaction between the two.
Her care reflects a depth that extends beyond isolated symptoms. She works with patients across a wide range of concerns, including complex and chronic health conditions, musculoskeletal pain and nerve dysfunction, as well as reproductive and fertility support. Each treatment is shaped through careful assessment and clinical reasoning, with an emphasis on promoting meaningful, lasting change whenever possible.
Alongside her training in East Asian Medicine, Dr. Ev completed three years in NUNM's naturopathic medical program — a rigorous curriculum paralleling conventional medical education. Her studies included anatomy, physiology, pathology, biochemistry, pharmacology, nutrition, western botanical medicine and nutraceuticals, and clinical diagnostics.
Rather than treating these as separate systems, her work integrates them into a cohesive clinical approach. East Asian Medicine provides the diagnostic framework and long-view strategy, while biomedical insight and additional techniques are incorporated when appropriate to support specific clinical needs and effective coordination with other practitioners.
Dr. Ev earned her Bachelor of Biological Science from California State University, Fullerton, with a concentration in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, graduating with honors after completing her pre-medical coursework.
In practice, this translates into care that is both flexible and grounded — able to address immediate concerns directly while also working with the broader patterns that shape health over time.
