Dan Bertapelle, Acupuncturist
Dan Bertapelle is a licensed acupuncturist at Zen Attitude in Seattle, WA. He has been helping people in that field since 2011 after he graduated from Bastyr University in that year.
Dan began his journey toward helping people at a young age when he was enrolled into a tai chi program and was introduced to acupuncture early on. During his time there, he saw the impact of physical activity and the importance of being able to be active without the encumbrance of pain. Seeing the direct link between the healing of pain and the freedom of movement, Dan began his pursuit of becoming an acupuncturist to help others recover from their pains and health issues.
As he attended Bastyr he found that while the physical discomforts people experience are extremely important to address, equally important is supporting the emotional health of the people he worked with. To make sure he could provide those services, Dan attended the Institute of Qigong and Integrative Medicine from 2010 to 2012 when he became a certified Yi Ren Medical Qigong Instructor.
Today Dan Bertapelle uses all three of his passions to help the people he works with: Acupuncture, Qigong, and Tai chi.
