ABOUT
"My love for acupuncture and TCM traces back to when I was a young child. My mom was taking these weekend classes with an old acupuncturist. I remember waking up and looking for my mom only to find her in the living room sitting on an old wooden stool trying to needle the famous acupuncture point Stomach 36 (足三里).
I remember having allergies and all kinds of monkey bar, sports injuries as a kid. The acupuncturist always had the simplest solutions that actually worked. It was mind blowing."
I became obsessed with understanding how the body worked and why acupuncture/TCM works so well. I felt empowered. That is what I love to share with my clients so that they too can share their gifts with the world.
There is no other place like the Bay Area. It attracts unmatched ambition and those who are committed to expanding the frontiers. People are just at a different caliber and demand excellence in every field. It is absolutely inspiring. These are my people. (Additional plus that we can golf year round). Time is precious. Let's see what we can build with this life.
My integrative approach blends the time-tested wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with the latest techniques in orthopedic acupuncture, dry needling, and sports medicine.
With roots in both Taiwan and the U.S., I offer a unique East-meets-West perspective—treating pain and injuries at the root while helping active individuals move better, feel stronger, and recover faster.
My private acupuncture practice in the Bay Area caters to:
-
Weekend warriors
-
Golfers and recreational athletes
-
Active moms dealing with pain and core issues from C-section recovery
-

"I'm excited to bring that same care to help everyone achieve their specific individual goals."
