My name is Phi-Lan Nguyen and I am a co-owner and the founder of Zen Attitude. From a very young age, I got to experience the effectiveness of acupuncture through family members and how relaxed and happy they would come away from treatments. At 16, my mother suffered her 3rd and most severe stroke. At this age, I learned very quickly the role of caregiver and also the frustrations of not having enough resources for my mother’s recovery. Within about a year, both Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy had decided that her process had plateaued. She could barely walk, prepare her own food, and would tear up when she couldn’t find the words she was looking for. Our family was told that most stroke survivors make very little recovery after 2 years. This of course did not take into account other modalities such as acupuncture.
It is amazing how even after over 2 decades post stroke, my mother has recovered to the degree that she has today. She is walking, can take care of her basic needs such as showering and eating, can express herself verbally, and could even pick arguments with my father occasionally. I am grateful to Western medicine for saving my mother’s life, and am very grateful to Eastern Asian medicine for increasing her quality of life, as that is the best currency we have.
My focus and passion as an Acupuncturist is to effectively increase that currency called quality of life for patients. Whether I am giving you a tune up, helping you with any chronic or acute issue, working with your other practitioners towards better health, or am the very last option you would have ever considered, I am committed to help you achieve the results you need.
I received my dual Masters of Science degrees in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine from Bastyr University in 2010. I have a particular interest and specialize in neurological conditions such as nerve impingements and sensations, migraines, traumatic brain injury, stroke and Bell’s Palsy, and also any other neurological diseases such as Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s. I spent over 1350 clinical hours at Bastyr Center for Natural Health in Wallingford, Harborview Medical Center in the Chronic Fatigue Clinic, HIV/AIDs clinic, and International Clinic, and Providence Mt St Vincent’s Nursing Center. My last intensive externship was spent at three different hospitals in Shanghai.
I welcome any issue you may be experiencing, as my focus is to treat the person as a whole and not symptomatically. My treatments may include a blend of acupuncture, cupping, dietary advice, coaching, and health education.
All walks of life are absolutely welcome at our office, with no discrimination towards race, religion, sexual and/or gender orientation.
For existing Seattle and Bellevue patients, please call or text the Seattle (206-466-2933) office if you'd like a personal recommendation from Phi Lan for one of our team members!
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.
