From Philosophy to Functional Medicine

Josh’s journey into acupuncture began after resolving his chronic headaches with East Asian medicine. With a background in philosophy from Montana State University, he was drawn to the Eastern view of health: a balance between internal and external environments.

During his doctorate studies in Portland, Josh focused on Saam acupuncture, a Korean tradition known for its targeted, minimal-needle treatments to restore weakened organ systems. He pairs this with Jing Fang herbalism, a classical Chinese system that emphasizes restoring the body’s functional vitality—also known as “yang.”

Acupuncture for Chronic Illness & Complex Conditions

Josh is especially passionate about treating patients whose symptoms have been overlooked or dismissed by conventional healthcare. He brings a deeply compassionate and science-informed approach to:

Conditions Treated:

• Autoimmune & Auto-inflammatory Diseases

• Chronic Pain & Post-Viral Syndromes (including Long COVID)

• Endometriosis & Hormone-Related Conditions

• Digestive Disorders (IBD, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis)

• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, and MCAS

• Cancer Support & Oncology Acupuncture

• Emotional Dysregulation & Nervous System Balance

• Neurodivergent Support (ADHD, Autism, etc.)

As a neurodivergent provider, Josh offers a trauma-informed and inclusive space for all individuals. He does not view neurodivergence as something to be "fixed," but rather as something to understand and support holistically through acupuncture and herbal therapy.
