Chiropractor Burien WA Yael Kantor

Chiropractor, Owner & Executive Director

Yael Kantor D.C.

Yael C. Kantor, DC, is the owner and executive director at Seahurst Integrative Medical and Wellness Center in Burien WA.

Originally from South Africa, Dr. Kantor immigrated to the United States with her family when she was 16. She received a Bachelor of Science in exercise science and then completed a Doctorate of Chiropractic program.

For the majority of her young life, Dr. Kantor was a gymnast. She had her share of injuries, like most athletes, with shin splints and a hairline fracture in her lower back being the most severe. The pain started limiting her flexibility, and she could barely bend after a while.

She went from one physician to another and was eventually advised to quit the sport. Frustrated and unwilling to give the sport up, her parents took her to a chiropractor. Under his care, she continued competing pain-free, with no drugs or surgery.

Dr. Kantor competed internationally for eight years and earned a full scholarship to an undergraduate college in the United States. Chiropractic care changed her life and enabled her to fulfill her dreams. She became a chiropractor so she could do the same for other people.

After graduating from chiropractic school and working with well-known chiropractors, Dr. Kantor and her brother bought Seahurst Chiropractic Clinic.

As much as Dr. Kantor advocates a drug-free life through spinal healthcare and proper nutrition, she knows it alone is not always possible. Having healthy communities requires a collaborative team of providers. Because of this, she expanded her team, adding medical professionals, acupuncturists, and massage therapists.

Now known as Seahurst Integrative Medical and Wellness center, it is a fully integrated multidisciplinary clinic equipped with the most effective non-surgical treatments for pain relief. She has also added weight loss/body contouring, aesthetics, functional medicine, and IV therapy. All under one roof to bring you better health and quality of life.

She is also one of the executive directors of a mental health clinic, Counseling Services for Wellbeing. She believes that one needs to take care of the body and mind to be completely healthy.

Chiropractic Burien WA Lien (Irene) Shih Acupuncturist

Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine Specialist

Lien (Irene) Chuan L.Ac

Originally from Taiwan, I moved to the United States in 2021, bringing with me a deep passion for healing and a wealth of expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I hold a Bachelor of Medicine degree from Xiamen University, a prestigious institution in China, where I completed five years of rigorous medical training.

My studies combined modern medicine with TCM, including four years of intensive coursework and one year of in-hospital rotations across key medical departments such as surgery, orthopedics, neurology, cardiology, pediatrics, and internal medicine.

My Journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine

My interest in TCM began during my first year as an undergraduate when I suffered a severe ankle sprain. One of my professors, an expert in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, offered to treat me with acupuncture. To my amazement, the treatment was painless, and my recovery was remarkably swift-far quicker than expected. This personal experience ignited my fascination with acupuncture and herbal medicine, inspiring me to pursue Oriental Medicine as my lifelong career.

Professional Experience

After earning my Master of Science Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, I co-owned a clinic in Macau, where I honed my skills treating patients with a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Acute and chronic pain (sprains, strains, migraines, arthritis)
  • Neurological disorders (Bell’s palsy, stroke recovery, Trigeminal Neuralgia) Female health and fertility (infertility, pregnancy support, post-cancer care)
  • Digestive issues, insomnia, and cosmetic acupuncture

My approach integrates the wisdom of TCM with a patient-centered focus, offering personalized treatments to address each individual’s unique health concerns.

Passion for Healing

I am deeply committed to helping patients achieve balance, wellness, and healing through the art and science of acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Whether addressing pain, supporting fertility, or enhancing overall well-being, I strive to provide compassionate care that transforms lives.
