Jeremy Frieling, Acupuncturist

Jeremy Frieling is a licensed acupuncturist and co-owner of Zen Attitude Acupuncture in Seattle, WA. He earned his Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Bastyr University in 2016 and has since dedicated his career to helping patients achieve holistic wellness through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

As a member of both the Clinical and Didactic Adjunct Faculty at Bastyr University, Jeremy has been teaching and mentoring acupuncture students since 2023. He supervises clinical training at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health and teaches courses including Introduction to Chinese Herbal Medicine and Introduction to Chinese Herbal Formulas. His teaching reflects a deep commitment to advancing the field of TCM and nurturing the next generation of practitioners.

Jeremy’s path to acupuncture was both personal and inspired. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in East Asian Studies from Western Washington University in 2006, with minors in Mandarin Chinese, History, and Anthropology, he explored ways to blend his love of Chinese culture with his passion for community wellness. A conversation over tea rekindled his interest in acupuncture, leading him to pursue his studies at Bastyr University, where he honed his skills in holistic healing.

In practice, Jeremy specializes in pain management, women’s health, and mental/emotional well-being. He creates individualized treatment plans that combine traditional modalities such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, manual therapy, food as medicine, and lifestyle coaching. He also integrates modern techniques like tuning forks, cold laser therapy, electro-acupuncture, and point injection therapy to enhance patient care.

In 2016, Jeremy completed a three-week intensive internship at a leading Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Shanghai, gaining firsthand experience in the integration of Eastern and Western medical practices—a perspective that continues to shape his approach to patient care.

Beyond the clinic, Jeremy enjoys exploring the Pacific Northwest with his golden doodle, Teddy, including hiking, camping, and disc golf. He also contributes to Zen Attitude Acupuncture’s Shot Bar, offering point injection therapy to support patient wellness.
