OUR PROCESS
We combine traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with modern functional medicine diagnostic principles and techniques to identify the root cause of your health concerns. Then, we apply our in-clinic therapies in support of lifestyle therapy to help you restore balance.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Our diagnosis goes beyond symptoms. We identify patterns of disharmony in your body using TCM diagnostic techniques. Then, we integrate the wisdom of TCM with advanced functional medicine lab testing to create a comprehensive picture of your health. This combined approach allows us to pinpoint the root cause of your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Natural, Holistic Therapies
We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our natural, holistic therapies, including acupuncture, manual therapy, cupping, guasha, infrared therapy, and medical-grade supplements, stimulate your body's innate ability to self-heal and address the root cause of your health concerns and promote overall well-being (without the side effects of conventional medicine.
Lifestyle Therapy
Building healthy habits is a cornerstone of lasting wellness. We don't just treat symptoms; we empower you to take charge of your health. Our natural therapies work synergistically with lifestyle therapy to support your journey towards a healthier you. We'll work with you to cultivate healthier sleep, stress management, dietary, and exercise habits, fostering long-term well-being.

When I first started going to Dr. Chen, I could barely walk. I could tell a difference after the first visit. Now I'm going on hikes and backpacking trips. She truly cares about helping her patients heal and have improved lives.
