I am a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who is also trained as a medical doctor. I specialized in Pediatrics as a Western physcian. In my Chinese medicine practice, I treat patients with all ages. Pain management,cancer support, pediatrics, women's health, allergies, asthma, migraines, emotional and mental well being are some, but not all of the areas I like to work at. I like to spend time with my patients to get to know them better, and to make sure that they feel listened and cared in the best possible way.

As a practitioner with many years of experience, I will listen to your story with care and compassion. Together we’ll assess your health situation and develop a plan for your treatment and healing.

Before graduated from Five Branches University of Chinese Medicine Graduate School and obtained my California Acupuncture Board license, I also systematically studied Western Medicine in Beijing Medical University for 5 years and went through several years' residency training in OB/GYN Department in Beijing 402 Hospital. Nowadays in America, although more and more people come to acupuncture clinics for help with their health problems, there are still some communication boundaries between Western and Eastern Medical systems. .

My approach to health is collaborative and holistic; I want to understand who you are and how the imbalance/pain/disease originated, so that we can help the body heal. I typically employ deep acupressure before doing acupuncture, a unique style, and use food, herbs and supplements to strengthen the body. I enjoy teaching people about the traditional oriental philosophy and methods, and also teach relaxation practices and yoga poses.

I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.

Acupuncture in Contra Costa County - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Contra Costa County acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.

'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.

Credentials for Contra Costa County licensed acupuncturists?
A licensed acupuncturist in Contra Costa County needs a minimum of two years college education and must complete three years of professional training and pass the State's approved licensing examination. The three year program includes both theory and hands-on clinical practice. Most States' professional training programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ACAOM) and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
