Founder
Dr. Dani Brunner is the founder of Attunement Wellness in Portland, Oregon, and a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine licensed by the Oregon Medical Board. She is nationally board-certified by the NCCAOM as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine.
Dr. Brunner earned her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2012 and her Doctorate from Pacific College of Health Sciences in 2021. Her holistic approach is enriched by over two decades of experience, including a 200-hour yoga teaching certificate obtained in 2004 and certification in 1000 Hands Buddha Qigong.
A pivotal moment in Dr. Brunner’s career was her personal experience of breaking her foot, undergoing surgery, and being non-weight-bearing for six weeks. This journey deepened her empathy for patients and led to a collaborative relationship with her surgical team. She now works closely with local orthopedic doctors, co-managing complex cases to ensure comprehensive patient care.
To further enhance her expertise in treating musculoskeletal conditions, Dr. Brunner completed the Acupuncture Sports Medicine Apprenticeship Program with Whitfield Reaves, OMD, LAc. This 60-hour intensive program, conducted over three weekends, provided in-depth training in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of common sports injuries and pain syndromes through a mentorship-style learning environment.
Dr. Brunner is passionate about helping patients become “unstuck” and pain-free. She believes in the power of integrative care, combining Eastern and Western medicine to achieve optimal outcomes. Her practice is in-network with Kaiser, MODA, Providence, Regence BCBS, Pacific Source, and United Healthcare, making her services accessible to a broad patient base.
Specializing in male reproductive health, Dr. Brunner developed the Dr. Dani Signature ED Program, a holistic approach to treating erectile dysfunction. This program combines acupuncture, red light therapy, infrared biomat, and personalized care to address the root causes of ED, helping men regain confidence and vitality.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Brunner finds inspiration in nature, enjoying hiking, biking, gardening, cooking and the Oregon coast. She also loves to travel, meditate, and practice yoga. Her beloved dogs, Leo and Benny, are integral to her life and bring joy to those around them.
At Attunement Wellness, Dr. Brunner has cultivated a team of like-minded, passionate providers dedicated to collaborative healing. Together, they offer a supportive environment where patients can embark on their journey to wellness.
