ABOUT
MEET LIN
Lin was born in China and adopted at the age of four, growing up in Denver, Colorado, where she discovered her lifelong passion for sports. This early love of athletics fostered the teamwork, discipline, and resilience that would later define her approach to helping others achieve their physical potential.
Inspired by her high school Athletic Trainer, Lin pursued her Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Science with a minor in Psychology at Oregon State University. During her freshman year, what began as a casual rowing elective evolved into a Division 1 commitment that transformed her college experience and deepened her understanding of athletic performance and recovery.
After graduation, Lin gained invaluable hands-on experience working with various passive modalities and one-on-one therapies at a sports recovery facility. This foundation launched her journey toward mastering a comprehensive range of treatment approaches that address the whole athlete, not just isolated symptoms.

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, Muscle Activation Techniques, Lokte Method and Acupuncture with Lin regularly for the past five 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.”
