Yugen Wellness
I’m a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine specializing in pain management. In addition to being an acupuncturist, I have over 18 years of experience in pain management as a nationally certified and licensed bodyworker, with thousands of hours of both clinical and personal experience. My work focuses on helping people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (specifically hEDS) manage chronic pain, dysautonomia, and other complex symptoms—creating lasting relief and sustainable improvements in daily life. With advanced training in acupuncture, myofascial therapy and trigger point work, I combine these hands-on techniques with my background as a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine to provide a comprehensive, individualized approach that supports the unique needs of hypermobile bodies. As someone living with hEDS myself, I understand how exhausting it can be to search for answers and find care that actually works. This personal experience is what drives my commitment to helping others find real, lasting relief.

Powerful Qi Acupuncture and Wellness
I am a Doctor with a deeply personal and professional commitment to the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) community. My journey with EDS is not only clinical, it is lived. Despite years of symptoms, I was not formally diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome until the age of 40. Like many patients, I spent decades navigating unexplained pain, autonomic dysfunction, fatigue, connective tissue instability, and a growing list of comorbid conditions without a unifying diagnosis. That experience fundamentally shaped how I practice medicine. I understand firsthand the frustration of not being believed, the exhaustion of fragmented care, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own body while it continues to fail you. Living with EDS has required me to manage multiple overlapping comorbidities, including dysautonomia, mast cell activation symptoms, chronic inflammation, and complex multisystem involvement. This has given me an intimate understanding of the nonlinear nature of healing, the setbacks that can occur even with the “right” treatment, and the importance of pacing, nervous system regulation, and individualized care. My medical training spans conventional Western medicine as well as Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine. This integrative background allows me to approach EDS through a root-cause, systems-based lens rather than a symptom-suppression model. I focus on identifying underlying drivers such as immune dysregulation, connective tissue vulnerability, mitochondrial dysfunction, gut-immune interactions, hormonal imbalances, and chronic stress physiology. Equally important, I prioritize the role of the nervous system, trauma, and lived experience in shaping chronic illness. Because I am both practitioner and patient, I strive to create a clinical space where individuals with EDS feel seen, believed, and respected. I understand the need for collaborative care, realistic goals, and compassionate flexibility. I do not view EDS patients as “complex” or “difficult,” but rather as individuals whose bodies require a more nuanced and thoughtful approach. My mission is to offer patients evidence-informed care, curiosity instead of dismissal, and hope grounded in honesty. I am passionate about education, research, advocacy, and empowering patients with EDS to better understand their bodies and participate actively in their healing journey.

Cosmic Acupuncture
Being diagnosed with hEDS at 9 years old, I’ve amassed a lot of information on EDS and tested a lot of things myself! Acupuncture and exercise gave me the most relief personally- so I made the switch from pharmacy to help people holistically heal. I have a large client base of EDS folks and have a group of trusted practitioners as well, if more support is needed. I also have an infrared sauna, which works wonders for supporting EDS through detox and lowering inflammation and muscle tension.

Denver Dry Needling
As a zebra myself, I’ve lived the bendy life, with my first hypermobile injury at age 9. I love to help other zebras navigate their bodies and the healthcare system from a therapeutic perspective, especially those who feel like they’ve “tried it all” and are still coming up empty-handed. My primary focus uses dry needling as a pain management intervention with follow through from exercises based in barre and pilates, making sure the structural muscles are there to support everything else. I have training in pelvic floor physical therapy, vestibular therapy, concussion, and have worked with every age and body type. With EDS, this is a life-long adventure, but I’m here to listen, educate, and look outside the box for ways to improve your pain and function.

Donna J Selle
At Fl•oh Acupuncture & Natural Medicine, we come to you to provide safe, gentle, compassionate care in the comfort of your own home. For about the same price as a treatment in-office, our licensed and nationally board certified acupuncturist comes to you to allow for a more convenient, more comfortable experience. Acupuncturist Donna Selle established her practice in the Treasure Valley 17 years ago when she opened The People’s Clinic. She’s gone on to work in a large physical therapy practice treating orthopedic conditions. She has worked at St. Luke’s Hospital treating inpatients in Maternal Fetal Medicine, Gynecology, Obstetrics and Oncology in the St. Luke’s Cancer Institute. Donna J. Selle, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. has been practicing acupuncture and natural medicine for over 20 years. With a specialty in Women’s Health she also cares for patients with chronic conditions such as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. As an EDS patient herself, she understands the difficulties in finding care providers who understand, the medical gaslighting that many EDS patients experience and the unique challenges patients face in managing symptoms. She is gentle and kind, and extremely empathetic in her approach to care. Donna has found patients who are treated regularly and frequently in their own environments respond to treatment faster and better than when they come to her office. Any potential apprehension about receiving acupuncture is greatly decreased when the patient can remain in a familiar environment. This also eliminates the time and energy challenges encountered when a patient receives multiple therapies and has several appointments each month. Decreasing these stressors better enables patients to respond to care more effectively. Donna recognizes the lack of medical research and development of treatment options for EDS patients and is passionate about delivering compassionate, gentle care, addressing the unique needs of people in all stages of life. Patient from all backgrounds and identities are welcome and embraced in her practice, and discrimination, gaslighting, exclusion or bigotry will never be tolerated in her presence. Your safety and privacy are fiercely protected and ensured by rigorous guidelines and safeguards. Patients are treated with dignity and respect regardless of diagnosis status, sexual orientation or identity.
