Muscle Aches Acupuncturists near Washington, DC

I work with women going through fertility treatments or looking to regulate issues regarding their health (stress, mood, weight, fertility issues, PTSD). They have tried many things but don't know what helps best. Good problem solvers, intuitive, they are strong professionals in their field looking for a comprehensive multifaceted approach to heal their situation naturally. They understand there is something about self cultivation and lifestyle that is easier with acupuncture - this sense of 'chi' and vitality they have a sense of but want to experience more of for deeper healing.

I am a licensed acupuncturist (2006), an herbalist (2017), a Reiki master (2000) and a certified color therapist (1998). I have dedicated my practice to physical health care: pain management, women's health, et al.; mental health care: stress, anxiety, depression and more, and facial rejuvenation.

I graduated from Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 1982 (Bachelor of Medicine) and practice acupuncture in Rockville and Bethesda, Maryland. I also do acupuncture at National Institutes of Health as a member of pain and palliative care team. My main interests have been on pain management, sport injury, inflammation (such as arthritis, tendonitis, gastrointestinal problems) and neurological diseases (essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, dementia and ADHD). I am also an immunologist researching on inflammatory and infectious diseases. I was NIH research fellow and has a Ph.D. in biochemistry (Wayne State University 1992).

I specialize in management of pain, allergy, infertility, side effects of cancer chemo-radiotherapy, and more. I received my O.M.D. from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 1995, completed my residency in the First Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine in 1997 and my fellowship in Chinese and Western Integrative Medicine in Guang'anmen Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in 2000. I have been the Director of the Outpatient Department in Haidian Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China, and a Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Chinese Medical Studies, Singapore.

I am passionate about health & wellbeing and helping people feel their best. Prior to training as an acupuncturist I worked in the field of psychology with adults and adolescents with mental health and emotional issues for over 10 years. Observing how a person's emotional health affected their physical health and how a person's physical health affected their well-being I wanted to retrain in a modality that could address both issues. I began my Acupuncture training in England and studied there for three years, before moving to the US and training for a further three years.
