Jon Bechtold-Wright, L.Ac., EAMP is a licensed acupuncturist in Seattle specializing in helping people with pain conditions, anxiety, and hormonal struggles.

He studied Ayurvedic and Western herbalism at the Herbalists College. He then studied Chinese medicine at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine where he graduated with a Masters in Acupuncture. He is nationally certified as a Diplomate in Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Jon is a native Seattleite who grew up in a family that had a deep interest in holistic medicine. His exposure to a variety of healing systems kindled his initial fascination with the mind-body connection. Instead of just treating the body mechanically, he saw the effectiveness of treating the whole person.

After a successful career in labor relations, he was drawn back to holistic medicine in the form of Chinese medicine. Conventional medicine had been unable to help Jon with a digestive issue and while looking for solutions he found acupuncture. It was a fantastic experience since it resolved the problem and got him interested in the power of acupuncture.

In school, Jon discovered Chinese medicine’s effectiveness for a wide variety of health issues, including it’s powerful effect on the endocrine system. He was fascinated by this healing system and wanted to learn more, which lead him to a path of helping people create lives full of health and vibrancy.

Jon’s mission and purpose is to help his patients overcome everything from physical discomforts like back pain and IBS to emotional discomforts like anxiety & depression, or hormonal struggles like PMS & infertility.

He sees true healing taking place when his patients are supported and strengthened so that their body’s healing potential is awakened and full health and healing can take place.
