Dan Bertapelle, Acupuncturist

Dan Bertapelle, LAc is a licensed acupuncturist at Zen Attitude Acupuncture in Seattle, WA, with over a decade of experience helping patients achieve pain relief, improved mobility, and whole-body wellness. He has been practicing since 2011 after graduating from Bastyr University, one of the nation’s leading institutions for integrative medicine.

Dan’s journey into acupuncture began at a young age through his training in Tai Chi, where he witnessed firsthand how movement, balance, and pain-free living are essential to overall health. This early exposure inspired his commitment to helping others restore function, reduce pain, and regain freedom of movement through natural therapies.

While studying at Bastyr, Dan recognized that true healing extends beyond physical symptoms. He developed a strong focus on emotional and energetic well-being, which led him to pursue advanced training at the Institute of Qigong and Integrative Medicine from 2010 to 2012. There, he became a Certified Yi Ren Medical Qigong Instructor, further expanding his ability to support patients on both physical and emotional levels.

Today, Dan integrates acupuncture, medical qigong, and tai chi into personalized treatment plans designed to promote healing, resilience, and long-term wellness. His compassionate, holistic approach helps patients feel supported, empowered, and confident on their path to better health.
