About Christian
Christian was born and raised in Washington and a proud alumnus of Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA and Five Branches University in San Jose, CA. With a strong focus on improving musculoskeletal disorders and addressing stress management, digestive distress, sleep problems, and more, Christian has established himself as a prominent expert in the field of Trigger Point Acupuncture.
His education has been marked by a profound exploration of both Eastern and Western medical sciences, with a special emphasis on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Dry Needling techniques. His diverse academic study and extensive clinical training have equipped him with a holistic approach to healing, seamlessly integrating ancient wisdom with modern scientific knowledge.
Taking his dedication for excellence to new heights, Christian pursued further education in the heart of traditional healing practices—Shanghai, China. As a clinical intern in three Shanghai hospitals, he actively treated and cared for an impressive 100 patients per week, honing his skills and expanding his expertise under the mentorship of seasoned practitioners.
Complementing his passion for acupuncture, Christian is also a proud graduate of Bellevue Massage School, now known as Washington Spa Academy, where he now serves as a clinical supervisor and instructor. This role allows him to share his knowledge and expertise with aspiring practitioners, fostering a new generation of skilled healers who can carry on the legacy of compassionate care.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Christian is committed to giving back to the community and making a difference on a global scale. He volunteers with Acupuncturists Without Borders (AWB), a remarkable non-profit organization providing free acupuncture services to victims, first responders, and community members affected by disasters such as extreme weather, flooding, and earthquakes. And with AWB’s Seattle Acupuncture for Veterans, a weekly free community acupuncture clinic in Wallingford supporting the well-being of veterans, active military personnel, and their families.
In line with his belief that healthcare should be accessible to all, Christian proudly serves as a lead acupuncturist for The Seattle King County Clinic (SKCC). This annual four-day free clinic brings together a diverse array of healthcare organizations, civic agencies, non-profits, private businesses, and volunteers to offer dental, vision, and medical care to individuals in the region who struggle to access or afford healthcare.
