Welcome to True Health, and finding a way to naturally enhance your health and take care of your body, mind, and spirit.
Pain Relief, Fertility issues, Healthcare for Men, Women, and children. I’ve participated with several studies at Stanford University using Acupuncture for Depression in Pregnant Women, Low Back Pain, and Acupuncture for Post menopausal Hot Flashes.
As a Licensed Acupuncture Physician and NCCAOM-certified professional and Emei Qi Gong Laoshi (Master), I am here to help you transform your vitality and your life for the better. And I can help you enjoy yourself along the way.
I’ve been licensed to practice the treasures of Traditional Chinese Medicine since 1992. I’ve studied Qi Gong since 1985. Having worked on several studies with the NIH and Stanford University, I am fortunate to have Stanford Residents shadow me so that I can help them understand the true Integration of Medicine.
I’ve studied with Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong, 13th Lineage Holder of the Emei Chan Tradition since 1996, which changed and transformed my life and level of healing ability.
Here’s my story:
In 1985, I was introduced to Tai Qi Chuan and Qi Gong. After six months of diligent practice and doing specific Tai Qi movements, I felt a bolt of lightning through my hands. My teacher described this as Qi and, from that moment, I knew I had to learn every aspect of this phenomenon.
During this time, I was “adopted” by a 90-year-old Chinese man I fondly call Pop. He would cook with herbs and explain that certain herbs were taken in the fall to prevent colds and flu in the winter, certain herbs taken now would prevent arthritis later in life, and so on. Pop was seeing an acupuncturist in San Francisco Chinatown, so I decided to try this ancient modality for my own health. Some people have a calling, and I felt Traditional Chinese Medicine was shouting for me. In 1987, I was accepted to the San Francisco College of Acupuncture.
In 1996, I took a Continuing Education Class with Medical Qi Gong Grandmaster Fu Wei Zhong. Under his tutelage and guidance, I became a disciple in 2000, and traveled to his monastery on Emei Mountain in China in 2002.
My passion for Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and Qi Gong permeate every aspect of my life. I have been working with Stanford University and the National Institute for Health since 1999. In the Spring of 2003, I was invited to participate in on-going studies in conjunction with Harvard University and a major hospital in Beijing.
I also teach Qi Gong and Self-Healing techniques for people to be proactive in their health.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
- Pain reduction
- Stress and tension relief
- Increased energy levels
- Stronger digestion
- Fertility
- Relief from bad habits and addictions
- Greater sense of overall health and well-being
Chinese Herbology
Chinese herbal medicine is a 2,000 year old tradition using naturally occurring substances — including herbs — to enhance one’s health and vitality. As opposed to Western medicine, the foundation of this approach is to support the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms and abilities.
Since each patient has different needs, I carefully select and combine a variety of herbs that will synergistically blend together to achieve optimal results for your unique situation. I prescribe high-quality, professional-grade herbal medicines that are available only to qualified licensed professionals.
Medical Qi Gong/Remote Healing
Medical Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese Medical practice that combines slow movements, conscious breathing, and focused mental attention to strengthen and enhance the flow of Qi (energy) throughout your body. Rather than addressing your symptoms (as Western medicine tends to do), Medical Qi Gong addresses your ailment at its very source by healing your entire being — mentally, emotionally and physically.

Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing — that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these “points” on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
Cupping
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized “cup” onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn’t hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
