Health Professionals in Utah
I have been a licensed, board certified (NCCAOM) acupuncturist and practitioner in Utah since 1999. Previously I was a Medical Doctor (MD) in China and Germany. In total I have over 30 years of experience with western and eastern medicine. I seek to provide patients with best holistic care available. I am devoted to the optimization of your health and wellness. Coming from China, I developed a strong passion for the healing art of acupuncture and Chinese medicine that I believe has the power to heal many people. I believe acupuncture is high effective, non-invasive and comfortable treatment.

I believe that your body holds deep, inherent wisdom. It can guide your food choices better than any influencer, doctor, or dietitian. Eating disorders, obsessive thoughts about food, misunderstood medical diagnoses such as PCOS, and social pressures can all make it incredibly difficult to tune into this internal wisdom. Add to this the endless nutrition information all around us, and food understandably becomes a source of fear, shame, and anxiety. My mission is to connect you to your body’s wisdom so that you feel empowered and peaceful around food. You can learn to trust your body again, and your body can learn to trust you.
