Johanna B. Flynn, M.TCM, L.Ac.

Johanna received her Master's Degree from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) located in San Francisco , California .  Johanna is licensed as an Acupuncturist in both California and Washington State and is Nationally Board Certified to practice acupuncture and herbal medicine since 2002.  She worked for two additional years of training with Dr. LiFang Liang, an M.D. and acupuncturist specializing in Gynecology, combining Chinese medicine with Western medically assisted reproductive technologies. With the skills and knowledge required to successfully specialize in women's health and fertility, Johanna opened her private practice in Seattle .

Johanna has had a lifelong interest in all aspects of human health.  She has a degree in Human Development and Education, and graduate training in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling.  She has also had training in Midwifery.

Johanna's approach in clinic integrates, to some degree, the theory of two medical systems: TCM/Modern Western.  This arises from her desire to meet the needs of patients living here in the West, who use the medicine and latest technologies of modern medicine but also want to benefit from what an ancient but living tradition such as TCM can offer.  She believes the fusion of the two medical models brings a healthy transformation of Chinese medicine making  it more relevant in our Western culture.  Diagnosis and treatment is predicated on sound TCM principles.  Even though Chinese and Western medicines adapt quite different perspectives:  we must remember the object of their attentions is the same.  Providing the most comprehensive and effective care for our clients.

Her training as a General Practitioner has prepared her to work with a wide range of health issues, including Orthopedic Disorders, and Pain Management.  She has clinical expertise and special interest in Gynecology with a focus on Fertility Enhancement.
