He has trained extensively with the leaders and innovators in the field, including over 500 hours of study with 88th generation Daoist priest, Jeffrey Yuen, from the Jade Purity Tradition.
Dr. James is trained in multiple styles of Japanese acupuncture, which is known for its gentle approach to treatment.

His doctoral coursework focused on integrative medicine, functional medicine, and an evidence-based approach to care.
Dr. James specializes in pediatric acupuncture, treating patients from newborns through the teen years. He has extensive post-graduate education in pediatrics and kid-friendly treatment strategies. In addition, he founded and ran a family acupuncture practice in North Carolina for over 6 years, treating patients of all ages, from newborns to elders.
Our Mission
Utah Valley Acupuncture was established in June of 2022 with the aim of providing deep healing to the Utah Valley. We specialize in treating chronic and complex conditions where Western medicine can fall short, including chronic infertility, hormonal and OBGYN issues (like endometriosis and PCOS), digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, mental health disorders, neurological conditions, metabolic disorders, vestibular disorders, migraines, and much more.
Our approach is rooted in Chinese medicine, emphasizing holistic treatment of body, mind, and spirit to address the core of disharmony. We honor traditional Chinese medicine while integrating modern techniques where appropriate. We pride ourselves on our ability to not only help connect the dots in understanding your health picture, but also in delivering effective, measurable, and fast results with compassion and care.
Though many of our patients come in with multiple medical diagnoses, you don't need any official Western medical diagnosis to benefit from our treatments. Our focus is on identifying and treating the deeper root causes of these conditions. Our goal is to move beyond labels and find the most effective treatments for your unique situation.
