About Me
My name is John F. Moore and I am a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist based in Seattle, Washington.
My philosophy of care is that the patient deserves the time to express concerns, hear all treatment options, receive a clear explanation, and experience the most attentive and compassionate care possible.
I operate a general family practice in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood where all ages are welcome, with a focus on internal medicine and pain reduction. I use a variety of techniques and combine acupuncture with bodywork, moxabustion, and herbal therapy to craft a treatment that best suits your condition.
I first discovered the healing power of Chinese Medicine in my mid-20's. I had always been interested in natural medicine, using herbs and supplements with a focus on wellness rather than taking prescription drugs for my health concerns. I suffered from insomnia, chronic allergies, and fatigue. I decided to try acupuncture and was amazed at how great I felt after each treatment.
After several treatments my allergies were cured and I was sleeping every night. I had renewed energy, focus, and stamina. I started to read about Chinese Medicine, and coupled with my interest in herbology, embarked upon this path with a desire to share it with others and help those in need receive the healing they required.
I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable and relaxed. If you are new to acupuncture and have some reservations about needles, I will walk you through the process so that you feel at ease. Most people find this form of medicine to be relaxing and restorative. If you have received acupuncture in the past, I trust that you will continue to receive top-notch care from me. I would like everyone to give acupuncture a try and experience this ancient yet very effective medicine.
I am trained in the following techniques:
- Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
- Japanese Meridian Style Acupncture
- Nogier Auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture)
- Manaka Ion-Pumping Cord treatment
- NADA Five Needle Protocol (National Association of Detoxification Acupuncture for addiction)

- Chinese Herbal Medicine
- Tui Na (Chinese therapeutic massage)
- Cupping
- Gua Sha (Dermal Friction technique)
- Chinese Dietary Therapy
- Lifestyle advice & referral
If you are under the care of a primary care provider or specialist, I will coordinate treatments and provide referrals if necessary. I am happy to consult with you prior to treatment to ensure your needs will be met. My goal is for your ultimate good health and long-term wellness.
I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best service in the industry.
