ABOUT
MEET LIN
Lin was born in China and adopted at the age of four. She grew up in Denver, Colorado, where she developed a passion for sports that would shape much of her life. Whether it was playing with the neighborhood kids or competing in organized teams, sports became a central part of her identity and fostered a strong sense of teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
After being inspired by her high school Athletic Trainer, Lin attended Oregon State University to pursue a future of working with athletes and injury treatment & prevention. Her freshman year, she took an introduction to rowing as an elective as a way to meet new people. What started as a casual interest quickly evolved into her joining the Division 1 rowing team, a commitment that reshaped her entire college experience. Lin received her Bachelors of Science from Oregon State University with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science with a minor in Psychology. This paved the way for a job right out of college at a sports recovery facility, where she gained hands-on experience with various passive modalities and one-on-one therapies.
Over the years, Lin has dedicated herself to learning and mastering a diverse array of modalities and therapies, with a focus on helping athletes and the active population not only stay healthy but also recover more efficiently from injuries. Her commitment to continuous learning has led her to explore cutting-edge techniques in sports recovery, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. Lin has developed a holistic approach to treatment, tailoring her methods to meet the unique needs of each individual. Through hands-on therapies such as Acupuncture, Fascial Stretch Therapy & Muscle Activation Techniques, movement assessments and corrective exercises, she is passionate about empowering others to optimize their performance and return to their activities stronger than ever.
Lin’s goal is to help you get back to doing what you love—whether that’s returning to professional sports, embarking on weekend hiking adventures, chasing your kids around —and equip you with the tools and knowledge to keep you there. Lin has had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals, from professional athletes to ultra-runners, Ironman athletes, rock climbers, CrossFitters, and everyday weekend warriors. You should never have to stop doing the things you love or live with pain every day.

Testimonials
“Lin is a consummate professional and the atmosphere she creates for clients like myself allow for total relaxation and trust. I’m not a huge fan of needles but I never hesitate to schedule an appointment for acupuncture because after more than 2 dozen appointments I’ve always left feeling better than when I’d come in. ”
“I really liked Lin’s approach. As an NFL player, the key to being a great athlete and staying healthy throughout such a long season is optimizing recovery and flexibility. Lin was more than accommodating and had many techniques to help keep my muscles feeling good and my joints mobile. ”
“As a Masters Weightlifter I regularly have tight muscles and joint pain from training. I have been getting Fascial Stretch and Lokte Method with Lin regularly for the past two years and it is the best thing I have done for my mobility , movement, and overall wellness. Lin always does her best to get me moving better and back to training hard. She is an amazing Recovery Specialist!”
“As a professional MMA fighter and coach frequently holding and hitting pads, I had severe pain in my elbow. I tried many things to relieve the pain: massage, electrical stimulation, cryotherapy etc... It would temporary relieve the pain but it would come back shortly after. I tried the Lokte Method with Lin. It was long and pretty uncomfortable for about 20 mins, but I was completely pain free after the treatment and the pain didn’t come back. It only took one treatment and it completely fixed my problem. I fully recommend people to try Lokte Method with Lin. She is amazing and gives just the right amount of pressure that you can handle to fix your problem.”
“I cannot recommend Lin enough as an acupuncturist! When I first came to her, I was dealing with significant neck and hip pain, tightness, and tension—so much that it was impacting my sleep and daily life. I’d wake up with kinks in my neck, and my posture from working long hours as a lawyer left me with persistent, throbbing neck pain and headaches throughout the workday. On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain often hovered around a 6 or 7, leaving me exhausted, irritable, and desperate for relief.
Lin’s treatments have been life-changing. Her clinic is warm, welcoming, and incredibly comfortable. She uses cutting-edge tools that not only look impressive but work wonders. Each visit is a relaxing and deeply healing experience. I’ve gone to her for acupuncture, cupping, and e-stim, and I can’t say enough about how much e-stim has elevated my treatments.”
