Amazing 1st experience. I have a chronic back problem and it was acting up bad. A single treatment and I had positive immediate results. I will visit every time I come through Seattle. This is what the doctor was born to do. I love doing business with people that knew what they wanted to be at an early age. Do your self a favor and go. If you've never done acupuncture then this is the place to try it. read more

Daniel Bertapelli was excellent and managed to cure my hammer toes. When my doctor told me there was nothing short of painful surgery to fix it it. Also parking is feasible. read more

Great outcomes overall, though the front desk experience could be better. When I first arrived, no one was at reception. The staff are often on the phone when patients are leaving, but I don't mind. However, I did have one concerning incident where acupuncture was done on the wrong leg; I was told the practitioner was dyslexic.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

I have now been under the extremely caring, professionally excellent treatment protocols of acupuncturist, Jeremy Frieling, for over a year, now, and couldn't be happier. My health is the best it's ever been, largely due to my being to get treatments with both needles and tuning forks (Acutonics) from Jeremy most weeks since April, 2024. Jeremy is kind, respectful, attentive, creative and steady. I feel safe, well-cared-for, and supported with all my health goals in every session. Jeremy also recommended me to his educational portal. He took the time to create and specifically put in acupressure, Ji Gong, massage, and other modalities for me to add to his treatments, and the site provides explanations and examples in the form of text and videos. I can do all of these when I'm home and they are all helping me be healthier as well. It even has dietary info and recommendations, which I appreciate. He has helped me with reducing difficult symptoms and problems with allergies, digestion, lower back pain, sleep disturbances, rashes, and many other minor ailments as well as my overall health in my almost 71 YO body. I have a 2-year-old granddaughter whom I see weekly, and I ride public transportation almost daily. While she and many I encounter have had many respiratory infections in the last year, I have not had ANY. I know this evasion of illness is due to Jeremy's assistance with my health. Whether you are new to or experienced with these healthcare options, I highly recommend you see Jeremy at Zen Attitude. You'll be glad you did. read more

I cannot recommend Zen Attitude Acupuncture enough. I am especially and profoundly grateful for Dan Bertapelle. I was recently preparing for an embryo transfer. It was a highly stressful time for me for a myriad of reasons as IVF is a rollercoaster of emotions. I worked with Dan on an intensive basis leading up to my transfer. Energetically, I felt so calm, peaceful, and at ease in his care. He is so present for his clients, really listens and makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world. Physically, I felt a huge shift in my body. I definitely felt increased blood flow to my uterine area and more confidence in my body's ability to get pregnant. Emotionally, I felt happy and joyful and excited to become a mother again - not fearful or anxious which is what I had been feeling prior to seeing him. He is a master and a total professional. I believe this is his calling and if you need to be healed he has a gift. Finally, the whole team to include the front desk staff is so warm, pleasant, supportive and kind. Amazing experience! Last but not least, 7 days post transfer I got the big positive on my pregnancy test! read more

My experience at Zen Attitude Acupuncture has been the most superior experience I have had with acupuncture in Seattle. I see Dr. Cheyne Valentine and cannot recommend enough. Out of the four providers I have met with over the last 18 months or so throughout Seattle, he has been the best. Why? His bed side manor is great - calming energy, positive energy, and very ZEN! Additionally, he takes the time to connect prior to the treatment to understand what is happening with the mind and body to guide his treatments. My body has always responded pretty well to treatments - but my body has been responding the best from Cheyne. I am about six treatments in writing this and will be seeing Cheyne 2X a week or so for the forseeable future. I have also seen Dr. Joey for a wellness shot (Serenity Now). Just once, though will be back for more and highly recommend him as well based on the 15 minutes or so we spent together. read more

I had a great experience with Katie Pierce. She was professional, caring and listened to my concerns. The session was smooth and painless. The stress reduction and better sleep protocols she performed really relaxed me. So much so, I fell asleep! Hope to sleep like a baby tonight as well and come back for more sessions to relieve continued stress. The Bellevue practice is also conveniently located and has easy parking. read more

* Great neighborhood acupuncture clinic. * A nice quiet space. * Nice friendly and helpful administration at the front desk. * Intuitive, perceptive and listening acupuncturists. * Seeing currently and highly recommend Dan Bertapelle. * Have seen and highly recomend Andrea Bibeau. * Take most insurances. read more

I've been a longtime Yelper, but my experience was so good that I had to leave a review. I've always been curious about acupuncture but felt anxious about trying it. The team made me feel at ease and took the time to understand the areas I wanted to focus on. Katie walked me through each step of the process, explained the tools they'd be using, and most importantly, set clear expectations and ongoing treatment. Initially, I went in for constant fatigue and writing this review three weeks later, my energy levels are higher than I can remember. If you are worried about needles, Katie made the treatment as pain free as possible and reassured me that my comfort was their top priority and encouraged me to speak up at any time if I felt uncomfortable. read more

First time trying acupuncture! Dr. Miao Shen was thorough and took her time. Excited to see long term results. Definitely made me very tired ! read more

Had a great experience here! The treatment room was clean and comfortable, and my acupuncturist was friendly, informative, and took the time to ask me detailed questions about my concerns, then provided answers for my questions. She explained each step of the process, and I left feeling relaxed and relieved. read more

Had my first acupuncture experience here with Katie Pierce. I was apprehensive with acupuncture for a long time but Katie was patient with me and answered all my questions. She was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. I felt relief even after my first session and look forward to returning! The office space was clean, calm and inviting. Thank you to the all the staff! read more

The Naturopathic Doctors and Acupuncturists are good here. No problems there. Unfortunately the Zen Attitude office does not seem to have the training and/or experience and/or skill to spar with a beast like Premera Blue Cross health insurance. Zen Attitude makes mistakes that cause delays and annoy the insurance company; such as missing diagnosis codes and incomplete paperwork. And of course that means the insurer is going to respond by aggressively denying claims as if I'm a problem patient. But I was not the one sending orders for testing and treatment; Zen Attitude took the lead here. I've started getting claims denied at more conventional western-medicine practices, for different medical problems. So it appears as if Zen Attitude's shadow of questionability has followed me around. I'm attempting to drop Premera and try a different insurer, but the damage is done. I understand that Premera is just one insurance company. But it's huge. It's one of the blue cross and blue shield organizations. Most employers give you very few options, Premera being one of the big two or three. I understand that insurance companies are predatory and unfair. But Zen Attitude accepts insurance and presents itself as a practice capable of managing insurance claims on behalf of the patient. They created some shared responsibility for insurance billing errors that result in a loss. I worked very hard with Zen Attitude on multiple attempts to fix the insurance claim. Zen Attitude and I worked very hard on multiple appeals against Premera's denials of the claim. We failed. Accepting defeat, I politely asked Zen Attitude if they could provide any kind of assistance to help me pay for the medical bill. It's hundreds of dollars that I now have to pay for 100% out of pocket, no HSA in this case. It's now an exploitative fee for what should have been a simple, modest medical expense. Zen Attitude deflected all responsibility. I politely asked again, explaining my reasoning. Zen Attitude declined to help me any further, and they didn't acknowledge or apologize for their own mistakes. The deflections continue. Lack of accountability for mistakes is rampant in the business of medicine. Zen Attitude unintentionally exploits this issue by presenting itself as a kind and enlightened alternative to the corruption. Sadly, I don't think Zen Attitude is immune from the rot. read more

My experience has been a great one so far. Daniel takes the time to listen and ask the right questions. He is also careful to explain his acupuncuture treatment plan and what to expect. Check in with the front desk is quick and easy, as is scheduling appointments. read more

I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy and dealing with sciatic pain, so I wanted to find a way to help with my healing process and get some relief. Courtney, my acupuncturist, was incredibly kind, understanding, and attentive to my needs. She took all the necessary precautions, considering my immune system is compromised, which made me feel safe and comfortable. Knowing I was nervous, she stayed in the room with me for the entire session, and I had a button to call her in the event that she needed to step out of the room. She also managed to make sure the temperature was right for me as I go through waves of chills and sweats. I feel so much better today, especially pain-wise. Thank you Zen Attitude Acupuncture and Courtney! You're in the right place if you're looking for compassionate and professional care, they listen to your needs. Their staff are all very kind, the ambiance is clean calm, and inviting. I highly recommend and will be returning!! read more

Rather than rely on painkillers, I decided to try acupuncture to relieve the discomforting side-effects of chemotherapy. Zen Attitude Acupuncture was highly recommended by one of my oncology nurses -- and I am so happy I took her advice to seek treatment there. Over the last 15 months in regular visits, the compassionate and creative healers at Zen Attitude on Capital Hill have helped my body reverse some of the negative effects of chemo, and alleviated others. My current acupuncturist, Andrea Bibeau, is attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. Andrea carefully notes the current status of my medical treatments and considers how best to assuage my discomfort with her training and knowledge of the Ancient Arts. Andrea also keeps our sessions light-hearted, and it is rare that we don't share a laugh. When I am at Zen Attitude, I feel as though I am among friends, as all of the staff are welcoming. I have encouraged my friends to try Zen Attitude for some of their health issues where traditional treatments have been ineffective. Please give Zen Attitude a try; don't fear The Needle! read more

I came to Zen Attitude with severe pain and weakness in my hands and shoulders, and after just one session with Dan Bertapelle I felt a real difference. He's incredibly skilled, asks the right questions, and treats the whole person -- not just the symptoms. The space is calming, welcoming, and truly healing. I'm so grateful for Dan's care and the relief I've found here read more

Space is very clean and calming. It is next to the street so if looking for low auditory stimulation you might want to bring ear plugs. Katie was very friendly and knowledgeable about healing practices. Got treatment for stress, sleep, anxiety and period cramps. They spoke about treatment planning in the future to address maintenance or other problems. Not 5/5 because I would've wished a fuller assessment would've been done around habits, life style, conditions and the like that could've informed treatment or offered an idea of what the plan would've been even when it was a short sessions. Sounds like long sessions would have included this. read more

Since coming to Zen Attitude, I've been recommending it to everyone! I worked with Katie Pierce, who was incredibly attentive and worked with me to figure out the issue with my shoulder where I was unable to even hold a water bottle upright without experiencing pain. In eight sessions, I was able to return to full functionality. Katie is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and all of the staff members I spoke with were always willing and able to answer any questions I had. read more

Friendly staff checking in, had my first ever treatment with Dr. Joey Ziegler and he was very nice and accommodating! I'm kind of scared of needles so he took things slow and respectfully and explained what he was doing which i appreciated. You know it's a good session when you somehow fall asleep with needles attached to you. Would recommend a treatment from him! My second favorite part was the heat lamp and heated table. read more

Rachel is such a good listener. She took time to hear everything, and is very thorough. I never felt hurried or rushed and it was a really great treatment. I will be back! read more

Had my first visit with Dr. Ziegler recently. I've been having back pain due to sciatica after a long drive. I've never tried acupuncture before. He was very sweet and had a calming present, which made it a great experience. He did some assessments, placed the needles and then let me rest for a while. The needles didn't hurt there were one or two where I felt a tiny pinch. I definitely felt sleepy during this process. Afterwards, he put some ear seats on my ears. I've heard these can be helpful. Thanks for the first time experience!! I'm hoping to see continued relief and recommend Dr. Ziegler for a warm acupuncture experience! read more

Great experience. It was relaxing and the acupuncture helped my muscles loosen up. Great and friendly staff there as well. I would recommend. read more

In 2016, I became a patient of Dr. Phi-Lan Nguyen, visiting both the Bellevue and Seattle locations. Dr. Phi-Lan is not only personable, easygoing, and wise but has also been instrumental in alleviating my struggles with dysmenorrhea, anxiety, energy levels, and other issues I have had over the years. During my acupuncture sessions with Dr. Phi-Lan, I often find myself both laughing and crying due to her effective stress relief needle techniques and incredible sense of humor. Her attentive listening skills and remarkable ability to recall even the smallest details about me create a comforting experience. After each session, the feeling can vary from being drained to energized, but it always leaves me in a much better state compared to when I arrived. I wholeheartedly recommend Zen Attitude to all those I know, and some of my friends have already cured their migraines and back/neck pain. Acupuncture is a great tool for enhancing one's overall well-being! read more

Amazing! I went in with neck pain. Jeremy was incredible! It was my 1st time experiencing acupuncture and he was helpful in answering all of my questions. He made me feel very comfortable! I continued with 3 sessions. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend! The space is relaxing, clean, and everyone is kind and professional. read more

I've had chronic back pain for the majority of my life, and have been wanting to go back to acupuncture to find some relief. I'm so happy I decided to check out Zen Attitude. Dr. Ziegler has a great sense of compassion and deep knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He took the time to understand my concerns, and he made me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entirety of the treatment. I've had great acupuncturists, but what makes Dr. Ziegler stand out is how genuinely present he is with his patients. He made it an incredibly safe space. I left the session feeling rejuvenated and felt so much relief in my back. I look forward to having future sessions at Zen Attitude! read more

I was startled to see a review of this clinic based on an insurance issue. As a social worker who has studied healthcare parity, it's a rare thing to find certain categories of healthcare workers that accept a wide range of insurance--therapists, acupuncturists, and massage therapists to name a few. Zen Attitude Acupuncture is a rarity in this field, attempting to provide the highest quality care while accepting a wide range of healthcare plans. The treatment rooms are clean and well tended to, and in my somewhat limited experience, the staff is uniformly and genuinely invested in helping patients feel better from the moment you walk in the door. I've worked with providers Jeremy, Dr. Alaina and Andrea, and all have been deeply compassionate and invested in what they do. Would recommend to anyone looking for an acupuncturist or naturopath. read more

If you're curious about trying acupuncture, then I'd highly recommend stopping by this clinic and seeing Emberly. I've been seeing her regularly for 6+ months now for various ailments, including carpal tunnel and insomnia. She's been incredibly attentive throughout, and I appreciate how she checks in with me at the start of every appointment in case I'm experiencing new or recurring symptoms. The clinic itself is also very clean, easy to access via public transportation and car, and has a great staff. Would definitely recommend to anyone curious about acupuncture! read more

Jeremy is amazing at his job and I always look forward to my acupuncture appointments. Wasn't scary like I thought it would be and now is my favorite self care activity. Have never been more relaxed in my life read more

Phi Lan and her team are amazing! During the pandemic I was so crazy, with non-stop zoom meetings, endless hours in front of the laptop, and doom scrolling I developed this weird carpel tunnel in my right hand. Thankfully, from a friend referral, I found Phi Lan. This was my first time getting acupuncture and I was always nervous about getting poked by needles, but Phi Lan guided me through the process and she was able to eliminate the pain through a few sessions! Currently, I'm seeing her to help alleviate and heal the pain caused by being rear ended. It's been a journey and I'm so thankful that Phi Lan is part of my recovery! If I learned anything during this pandemic, nothing is more important than our health and it needs to be a priority. read more

Zen Attitude Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ok, listen--I went into this whole acupuncture thing as skeptically as possible. No matter how skeptical you are of it, I was twice as skeptical. I am not a "mystical" person. Raised in the midwest. Believe in science, surgeons, etc. Still, after four months of crippling nerve pain in my back and leg that hadn't gotten better despite throwing everything my primary care doctor had at it (PT, specialists, medication, MRIs, etc.) except for back surgery she said would have a 50% chance of making things worse, a colleague I trust recommended acupuncture and I thought: "ok what do I have to lose?" I've done four sessions so far with Phi-Lan and Jeremy and it has blown my mind. My pain has lessened a lot and even my physical therapist noticed big jumps in how my body was responding over the last two weeks. I don't know how it works exactly, and I'm incredibly surprised that it does work, but I'm here to tell you that it does and even if you are totally skeptical of it, just give them a chance. Zen Attitude is incredibly professional, easy to schedule online (without a phone call, yea!), clean, punctual, and comfortable. They are ok if you come in skeptical and with lots of questions, and they really listen to you about what's going on. And here's one last tidbit: it's not really that uncomfortable a process--more weird at first and then mostly relaxing and relieving (of pain!) Top recommendation! read more

I wanted to take a brief moment to shout out acupuncturist Emberly Slavin for being so passionate and informative about the whole acupuncture process. She is professional, knowledgeable, and you can tell really cares about her patients. While I have yet to use her services, I can tell you with certainty she will be the person I call upon. Thank you Emberly for demonstrating an ethic of care. read more

I had not had acupuncture before and Zen and Dr Ziegler came highly recommended. The front desk staff was friendly and the facilities were calming and nice. Dr. Ziegler was kind, calming and talked me through everything. I went in for back pain and after a 45 min treatment I left feeling better. I plan to head back for another treatment and would highly recommend to anyone new to acupuncture. read more

After 3 weeks with little to no sleep, I needed some outside help. I met with Emberly who spent time listening to my sleep challenges, lifestyle factors and everything I tried to remedy my insomnia. She was fun to talk to and I felt like my challenges were being heard. After one acupuncture session with Emberly, I felt incredible and I was finally able to sleep soundly again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! read more

I've been coming to Zen Attitude's Bellevue location for over 2 years. Both Phi Lan and Dr. Jeff are great. They're very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. They always take the time to really understand what's going on. Regular acupuncture has helped relieve chronic pain and improve my overall health. Thanks! read more

I started acupuncture at Zen Attitude a few months ago and have experienced significant results. Each visit, I feel listened to about how I've been feeling and my care is catered towards my feedback and symptoms. This is very appreciated as someone with some complex health issues. Zen Attitude is a welcoming and calming environment and I always feel relaxed walking out. For the weeks, following my appointments I feel drastic improvement in symptoms related to chronic pain, mental health, sleep, and GI issues. Thank you to Zen Attitude staff for all the kindness, listening, and help making me feel a lot better and able to enjoy a less painful life! read more

I had been having elbow pain (tennis elbow) for some time. Both from racquetball and most recently pickleball. Had tried all of the usual advice; rest, ice, stretching etc. I'd never had acupuncture before, but it was recommended by a guy I play pickleball with. I am generally skeptical, but thought "What do I have to lose?" So I looked for places and Zen' had great reviews. Was recommended to Jeremy. I have had 3 appointments now and can say with confidence that it is improved. Is it gone? Not completely, but feeling much better and I am using Tylenol less and less. The important thing to note, is that Jeremy has taken (I know this word is overused-especially in this space- but here goes...) a very holistic approach. He's done acupuncture, but has also done some massage on the area, used a "massage gun" and even some low-level electric stimulation with a '10's machine." Which is having the most effect? Don't know. Don't care. The bottom line is that Jeremy truly seems invested in healing and taking a diverse approach to helping that happen. Would definitely recommend both Jeremy and Zen'. Oh and clean, comfortable treatment rooms, bathroom blah blah.... read more

When I first walked in, I noticed how clean and how beautiful the office space was. I was greeted by the front desk, and immediately afterwards my acupuncturist, Lily, came to take me to my room; I did not have to wait! Lily did an amazing job. She asked me about my concerns/what has been causing me discomfort, and made sure she covered all those areas for me. I love how she took the time to get to know me as well. She was easy to talk to. The music she played was really calming as well; I was able to take a nap even though I had needles on my back! I could barely feel the needles; it was really relaxing. Lily also gave me my first cupping experience. I was scared at first, but Lily walked me through it. It was not scary at all! The feeling was different from what I had imagined. She used the cup to go up and down my back, which felt like a deep tissue massage! My back felt rejuvenated. Lily finished my appointment with a car buffer(?) by rolling it throughout my body; it was a great finisher and felt really nice! At the end of my appointment, I felt like I had just came out of savasana (for all my yoga lovers)! When I got home, I slept so well! I highly recommend seeing Lily! Will definitely come back. read more

Zen Attitude Acupuncture - Clean and cozy room! - Acupuncture Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been going to Dr Chantelle for the past month to treat my persistent knee pain and she has been great at helping tap into where the pain is and creating a relaxing environment for my visits. I have a pretty bad reaction to needles so I was apprehensive but she took time to talk to me first and has been helping me work up to more needles each time. I've been doing physical therapy for over 7 months and my knee pain wasn't getting any better. After just one treatment I noticed an improvement and when I missed an appointment with Dr Chantelle I noticed a slight discomfort come back in to my knee. I'm keeping up with my visits and so far my symptoms are definitely improved and I can feel my knee getting stronger! Didn't know much about acupuncture before but I'm starting to be a believer! read more

As someone who sits at a desk for work, my neck and shoulders were not happy. Upon a friends suggestion, I tried acupuncture. I was a bit skeptical at first, but now I'm a believer! After 3 visits, not only did Jeremy get rid of my pain, he gave suggestions on stretches that would help prevent the pain from flaring back up again! The office was staff was easy to work with in regards to my insurance and co-pay and I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the environment as well. Safe to say I will be a regular client for other ailments that may pop up in the future!! read more
