MEET EV

Universal Qi is brought to you by
Dr. Evren "Ev" Juniper, Doctor of East Asian Medicine (DAcCHM, LAc). Ev's work is focused on integrating embodied experience with the scholarly study of early Chinese etymology and written works. In pairing embodied experience with the academic study of the roots of the medicine, she hopes to bring more clarity to concepts that have historically been mistranslated or misunderstood in order to revive the timeless universal wisdom that is held within. Her doctoral thesis, Embodied Universe, can be found at academia.edu.

You can find Ev immersed in practice at her clinic, ECHO Acupuncture, in Gladstone, Oregon.
