About Ev

Embodied Universe is a research and educational project by Dr. Evren “Ev” Juniper, Doctor of East Asian Medicine (DAcCHM, LAc). Her work explores the relationship between embodied experience, early Chinese language, and the interpretation of classical medical texts.

​

Through the integration of experiential insight and close textual study, she seeks to clarify concepts within East Asian Medicine that have often been mistranslated or misunderstood in modern interpretations. Her doctoral thesis, Embodied Universe, is available on Academia.edu.

​

Ev practices clinically at ECHO Acupuncture in Gladstone, Oregon.
