Founder + Practitioner
Dr. Robin Jones is the Founder and Lead Practitioner of Everwell Acupuncture, a modern wellness studio grounded in the wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine and dedicated to restoring balance across body, mind, and spirit.
Robin holds a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from the Pacific College of Health and Science and has completed advanced mentorships in Classical Chinese Medicine with Ann Cecil-Sterman, Japanese Meridian Therapy with Dr. Elizabeth Talcott, and Five Element Acupuncture with Dr. Brian Bender. Her additional certification in Non-Surgical Facial and Body Rejuvenation under renowned teacher Ms. Lanying Cui bridges the worlds of medicine and aesthetics — reflecting her belief that inner and outer healing are inherently connected.
Before founding Everwell, Robin served as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Marine Taxonomic Services, Ltd., where she led complex environmental consulting operations, managed field research teams, and championed workplace culture rooted in care and collaboration. Her earlier career spanned investment management, fashion design, fitness entrepreneurship, and environmental science, reflecting a lifelong curiosity for how people and systems thrive when aligned with purpose.
A San Diego native and natural connector, Robin is passionate about building community and reimagining what healthcare can be — integrative, human-centered, and deeply relational. Her clinical approach draws from ancient medicine, modern physiology, and the art of presence. She helps patients unwind stress, rebalance the nervous system, and address root-cause imbalances through consistent, compassionate care.
When not in the clinic, Robin finds restoration through travel, movement, and time in nature. She loves cooking and baking as a form of meditation, practicing barre3 to move stagnant energy, and connecting meaningfully with those around her.
Robin believes that healing is not a destination, but a relationship — one built on curiosity, kindness, and the courage to reconnect with the wisdom of the body.

Dr. APRIL COUGHLIN, laC
DOCTOR OF ACUPUNCTURE AND CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

April is a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) and Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) practicing in the Willamette Valley, OR. She specializes in a unique, patient-centered form of acupuncture known as Classical Five Element Acupuncture (CFEA).
Before receiving her Doctorate from Pacific College of Health and Science, April received her B.S. in Psychology from the University of Maryland. Her fascination with the mind-body connection led her to Acupuncture, where she experienced first-hand a form of medicine that addressed not only physical health, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual.
In addition to her formal education in Traditional Chinese Medicine, April apprenticed with a master-level CFEA practitioner in this lineage for four years and is continually learning and refining her skills. This ancient style of acupuncture addresses the root cause of our health imbalances, helping patients experience greater clarity, vitality, and inner peace.
April’s approach is intuitive, grounded, and compassionate. She believes that healing happens in the context of real connection—and that being truly seen and heard is medicine in itself. In a world where we’re constantly plugged in through technology but often starved for genuine heart connection, she creates space for people to slow down, come back to themselves, and feel deeply supported.
Besides her work as a clinician, April is passionate about salsa dancing, enjoying time in nature, and petting every dog she can.

MASTERS IN ACUPUNCTURE AND CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE, LICENSED MASSAGE THERAPIST

William is a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac) and Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) practicing in Willamette Valley Oregon. He holds a Masters in Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization (MSAcCHM) from Pacific College of Health in Science in San Deigo and completed his Massage Therapy and Holistic Health Practitioner training at Healing Hands School of Holistic Health.
Originally from the Washington DC area, he relocated to San Diego and started his journey in the health field as a massage therapist specializing in therapeutic massage and pain management. He worked alongside chiropractors and other health professionals to provide care for those looking for pain relief and injury rehabilitation as well as for stress relief and overall wellness. He continued to learn and develop his skills during this time by learning Craniosacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute in which he explored somatic bodywork and nervous system restoration. Eventually this desire to grow as a practitioner as well as to explore his interest in eastern philosophy and modalities led him to study Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science. There he specialized in herbal medicine and Japanese meridian therapy, a gentle yet powerful acupuncture style that’s perfect for those who are a bit nervous about needles. He recently relocated to Oregon to work alongside his dear friends and colleagues and bring greater access to holistic health to the Willamette Valley area.
William utilizes all the modalities at his disposal to create individualized care that addresses every patient’s unique needs. He believes true health is more than just the absence of disease and is about experiencing greater vitality and quality of life. He brings a calming, grounding presence into the treatment room and creates a safe space for patients to de-stress, restore, and heal.
Outside of the clinic William enjoys being out in nature, hiking, backpacking, climbing, playing guitar, reading a good book, playing pickleball, and meditating.
