tall plant with vegetative growth, but no grain

About Ev

Universal Qi is a project by Dr. Evren “Ev” Juniper, Doctor of East Asian Medicine (DAcCHM, LAc). Ev’s work explores the relationship between embodied clinical experience and the scholarly study of early Chinese language and classical medical texts.

By pairing lived practice with careful study of the roots of the medicine, she seeks to clarify concepts that have often been mistranslated or misunderstood in modern interpretations. Her doctoral thesis, Embodied Universe, can be found on Academia.edu.

​Ev practices clinically at ECHO Acupuncture, in Gladstone, Oregon.
