Health Professionals in Austin, TX
I am comfortable helping folks with anything painful that they can't quite work through on their own. Whether it's emotional, physical, or trauma-related, I have the skill set to work with a wide range of problems. My primary goal is to help people develop the capacity for all of their experiences, whether it's life transitions, chronic pain, autoimmune, or new pain patterns: issues with the head, neck, shoulders, TMJ, ribs, stomach, sacrum, low back, pelvis/glutes, or legs. A lot of my clients improve and get better from problems that haven't been resolved with other therapists or modalities.

I am Jingyu Gu, PhD & Lic. Acu. My acupuncture practice started in 1972 in Shanghai. I founded the Taiji & Qigong Meditation Center and Wellspring Acupuncture & Holistic Health Clinic. My patients receive not only standard acupuncture and herbal treatments but also instruction on therapeutic taiji and qigong exercises. This harmonious and holistic treatment paradigm is the highest often hard-to-reach level of therapy in the TCM tradition. I taught these subjects in the Texas College of TCM (TX Health & Science Univ.) as well to acupuncturists for their CEU and served on the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners for 5 years.

My ideal clients are adults who have been dealing with ongoing health issues and feel like nothing has fully added up yet. They may struggle with digestion, fatigue, anxiety or low mood, skin issues, inflammation, or symptoms that seem to affect multiple areas of the body at once. Often, they’ve tried conventional care or standard nutrition approaches and are still looking for answers. What they want most is to understand why they feel the way they do and to work with someone who looks at the whole picture rather than treating one symptom at a time.

Do you feel like you've tried everything for your digestion or weight, but nothing sticks? Are you navigating a new medical diagnosis like Diabetes, IBS, or SIBO and feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice?

You don't need a rigid diet that adds more stress to your day; you need a partner who understands the medical science and the reality of your daily lifestyle to help you find balance.

Are you working hard in the gym but not seeing the results show up in your health? Or perhaps you know what to eat, but struggle to make it stick in a busy lifestyle?
It is incredibly frustrating to feel like you are doing everything "right"—exercising and trying to eat well—yet still dealing with low energy, stubborn weight issues, or confusing lab results. You don't need another generic meal plan or a drill sergeant; you need a strategy that connects the dots between your movement and your metabolism to finally see results.

I specialize in weight loss nutritional counseling, vegetarian/vegan, sports nutrition, and strength, balance, and flexibility training. It is important to like what you're eating, and it doesn't have to all be health food. We discuss what you can eat more than what you can't. People become overweight for reasons other than knowledge and eat for reasons other than nourishment. Nutrition counseling is an client-driven exploratory process that teaches a lot about you and why you do what you do. Most clients have tried other programs and want a tailored solution that is efficient.

Talking about the acupuncture, the first thing, or the only thing, that comes to most people’s minds is the pain.

The answer is “No.” At Guanyin Chinese Medicine Clinic, we work with all kinds of health conditions – acute, chronic (5 years, 20 years, or longer), physical, and emotional. Your condition is prudently evaluated, and a treatment plan is developed to best fit your needs.
