“The correspondence of heaven and humanity. The balance of yin and yang.”

Two classical principles guide every treatment — that the human body reflects the rhythms of the natural world, and that health depends on the dynamic balance of yin and yang.

ABOUT

Trained in the Classical Tradition

Dr. Yang holds a Master's degree in Acupuncture and Moxibustion. She trained under Professor Wang Zuhong, recognized as one of Yunnan Province's most distinguished physicians of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and her research centers on using acupuncture to prevent and treat psychosomatic conditions — the interplay between emotional wellbeing and physical health.

Her work has been published as first author in two papers, including one in an SCI-indexed journal, and she has contributed to a National Natural Science Foundation research project as well as a municipal-level study.

METHODS

Techniques & Traditions

Dr. Yang's practice centers on Space-Time Acupuncture (时空针灸), a system developed under Professor Zhu Miansheng that combines time-based and space-based point selection in a coordinated sequence — working to rapidly activate the body's own capacity for self-repair, regulate the flow of qi, and harmonize the body's protective and nourishing systems. This approach draws on several classical technique systems:

“The correspondence of heaven and humanity. The balance of yin and yang.”
INTEGRATED CARE

Acupuncture is rarely used on its own here. Dr. Yang weaves it together with moxibustion, herbal medicine, essential oils, and cupping as part of one integrated course of treatment:

Cupping and acupuncture combined
“Cupping and acupuncture, combined for deeper, targeted relief.”
Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Fine, sterile needles placed at precise points to regulate the flow of qi and treat the underlying pattern behind a symptom, not just the symptom itself.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion

The gentle heat of burning mugwort (moxa), held at or near the skin to warm the channels, support circulation, and enhance the effect of needling.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Custom herbal formulas tailored to your constitution, used to support and extend the effects of treatment.

Essential Oil Therapy

Essential Oil Therapy

Natural plant oils incorporated into treatment to support relaxation and circulation alongside acupuncture.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy

Traditional suction-cup therapy used to relieve muscle tension, support circulation, and ease pain.

FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE

Facial (Cosmetic) Acupuncture

Facial (Cosmetic) Acupuncture

Fine needles placed on the face, combined with points elsewhere on the body, to increase local circulation and support the skin's own collagen production. It's commonly used to support tone, texture, and a more even, radiant complexion over a course of sessions, rather than as a single instant fix. Because the face is treated as part of the whole body rather than in isolation, it's woven into the same pattern-based approach used across Dr. Yang's other treatments.
