About Jeremy Frieling, LAc

Jeremy Frieling is a licensed acupuncturist and co-owner of Zen Attitude Acupuncture, located in Seattle, WA. He is a graduate of Bastyr University, where he earned a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2016. Jeremy is also a member of both the Clinical and Didactic Adjunct Faculty at Bastyr University, where he has taught and mentored students since 2023. He currently supervises clinical training at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health and teaches courses such as Introduction to Chinese Herbal Medicine and Introduction to Chinese Herbal Formulas. His work at Bastyr reflects his dedication to advancing the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and mentoring the next generation of practitioners.

Jeremy’s journey to becoming a TCM practitioner was uniquely personal and circuitous, yet always aligned with his passion for promoting wellness. In 2006, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in East Asian Studies from Western Washington University, with minors in Mandarin Chinese, History, and Anthropology. After graduation, Jeremy sought a way to blend his love of Chinese culture with his drive to make his community a healthier and happier place.

One afternoon, a conversation over tea with a close friend reignited his curiosity about acupuncture and TCM, particularly after recalling a course he had taken during his undergraduate studies on the history and evolution of Chinese medicine. This led him to pursue his studies at Bastyr University, where his passion for healing and wellness was fully realized.

Jeremy specializes in pain management, women’s health, and mental/emotional well-being. He tailors each treatment plan to meet the unique needs and goals of his patients, combining the traditional modalities of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, manual therapy, food as medicine, and lifestyle coaching. Additionally, Jeremy integrates modern techniques, such as tuning forks, cold laser therapy, electro-acupuncture, and point injection therapy, to enhance his patients' care.

In 2016, Jeremy completed a three-week intensive internship at one of Shanghai’s most respected Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals. There, he witnessed the seamless integration of Eastern and Western medical approaches, an experience that continues to inform his practice as he strives to bridge the gap between these philosophies to meet patients where they are in their journey to healing.

When he’s not practicing, Jeremy enjoys outdoor adventures in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with his golden doodle, Teddy. Some of his favorite activities include disc golf, hiking, and camping.

Jeremy is also one of Zen Attitude Acupuncture’s providers for the Shot Bar, offering point injection therapy to support patient wellness.
