In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pregnancy reflects the constitution of the mother — how her body adapts to the demands of growing new life.

Deficiency means the body’s functions are lower than optimal, like when thyroid hormone drops during pregnancy. Excess means one system is working too hard, often at the expense of another. Together, this imbalance can leave a mother feeling tired, gaining weight herself while the baby may not grow as expected.

Prenatal care in TCM is about restoring balance. By supporting what is deficient and calming what is excessive, we nourish both mother and baby so they can thrive together.

Weight gain during pregnancy isn’t just about numbers on a scale — it directly affects the health of both mother and baby. Balanced weight gain supports healthy blood supply, amniotic fluid, and reduces risks for complications.

For women with a BMI over 24.9, weight gain should ideally stay within 15–25 lbs. For those with a BMI over 30, the range is even tighter, around 10–15 lbs. Keeping weight gain in balance can lower risks and improve outcomes for both mother and newborn.

How do we support this? With mindful food choices, appropriate movement, and reducing inflammation — all while nourishing both mother and baby.

Pregnancy is a journey of balance. The right guidance helps you and your baby thrive.

Studies show ibuprofen and Tylenol may trigger bacterial mutations, reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics.

For women with recurrent UTIs, this can make healing even harder.

In TCM, pain is a signal of imbalance — not something to mask.

By strengthening Qi, supporting immunity, and restoring gut health, we address the root cause so your body can defend itself naturally.

Simplifying life isn’t just about doing less — it’s about discovering your own rhythm.

When do you feel most energized? When does your body tell you it’s tired? When do you notice that something feels off?

At Eastern Wellness, we believe health isn’t only about treatments — it’s about listening to your body and honoring its natural pattern. When you align your lifestyle with your energy flow, you create balance that supports healing, clarity, and resilience.

Your body already knows the answers. The question is — are you listening?

Many people with anxiety also experience heart palpitations. From a functional perspective, this happens when there’s no proper “break” between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

When the sympathetic nervous system is overactive, it also affects the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in controlling heart rate. The result? A higher chance of palpitations, even when the heart itself is structurally healthy.

At Eastern Wellness, we look beyond symptoms. By calming the nervous system and restoring balance through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and functional care, we help the body find its rhythm again.

Your body isn’t broken — it’s asking for balance.

In Chinese medicine, the goal is not dependency — it’s empowerment.

If you come in with headaches caused by Qi deficiency, our focus isn’t just to mask the pain. We work to build your Qi so your body can naturally prevent headaches on its own.

A good treatment plan should guide your body back to balance and self-healing. If a practitioner tells you that you’ll need acupuncture for the rest of your life, that isn’t true healing.

The purpose of Chinese medicine is to help your body get back on autopilot — strong, resilient, and capable of maintaining balance without endless treatments.

True care means supporting you until your body can take over again.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, menopause is a natural transition — not a problem to “fix.” Hot flashes and night sweats often stem from Kidney Yin deficiency, while mood swings may be linked to Liver Qi stagnation.

By restoring Yin, calming excess heat, and smoothing Qi flow, symptoms can ease. Simple steps like cooling foods, herbal teas, acupuncture, acupressure, and gentle movement all support balance.

Menopause is your “Second Spring” — a time of renewal and empowerment. With the right care, you can embrace this season with more ease and vitality.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, arthritis and joint pain aren’t just about inflammation. On the surface, pain may come from overuse, food sensitivities, or chronic inflammation.

But the deeper cause often lies in Qi and Blood deficiency. When Qi and Blood fail to nourish the tendons and joints, the Liver and Spleen are the first to be affected. These systems govern muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons.

When they are out of balance, weakness and pain often show up in the joints. Addressing the root — not just the surface inflammation — is key to long-term relief.

At Eastern Wellness, we use acupuncture, herbs, and functional medicine to restore balance so your joints can move freely again.

Are you exhausted, restless, and anxious — but your lab results look “normal”? You might be experiencing Adrenal Fatigue, the hidden cost of living in constant survival mode.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), adrenal fatigue is understood as Kidney Qi deficiency with hyperactive Yang. This imbalance leaves you feeling both fatigued and wired — restless even when you try to rest, spiking cortisol at night, crashing mid-day, and wide awake in the evening.

In this video, we’ll cover:
-What adrenal fatigue really is and why it’s so common today
-The surprising symptoms that go beyond “just being tired”
-How stress disrupts your natural energy rhythm
-TCM insights on restoring balance through Kidney Qi support
-Natural ways to calm the nervous system and rebuild your energy

If you’ve been searching for answers about why you never feel fully rested, this video will give you a new perspective on healing.

During labor, oxytocin (Qi in TCM) helps the uterus and cervix dilate. An epidural can ease pain, but it may also weaken Qi and make postpartum recovery more challenging.

If you choose an epidural, support is key. Acupuncture, herbs, and nourishing care can help replenish Qi, restore balance, and speed healing.

Book your free consultation to learn how TCM supports postpartum recovery.

When periods stop, estrogen drops—and with it, the tissues of the va**na, uterus, and urinary tract can become thinner, drier, and more fragile. This is called Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).

Common symptoms include dryness, soreness, painful urination, frequent UTIs, and discomfort during intimacy. These changes are real—and they deserve care, not silence.

GSM doesn’t go away on its own, but it can be managed. Whether through conventional options like low-dose estrogen or holistic approaches that support Yin and restore balance, you don’t have to suffer quietly.

Having muscles and physical strength is valuable—but true health goes deeper than appearance. You can look fit on the outside and still feel depleted on the inside if you’re not caring for your whole system.

In this video, I share a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective on why fitness is more than building muscle or following trends. True wellness comes from living in rhythm—with your body, your cycle, and with nature itself.

In this video you'll learn:
-Why ignoring sleep, stress, and natural cycles depletes Kidney Qi
-Signs that your body is out of rhythm (poor sleep, cravings, weak digestion, irregular bowel movements)
-How to discover your rhythm for nourishment, movement, and rest
-Why fitness is not one-size-fits-all, and how to redefine it holistically

Your health is about balance—inside and out. Let’s move beyond trends and learn to listen to your body’s wisdom.

About me

When I was growing up, my mom always told me,"you need to know how to take care of yourself. We, women, are the foundation of our community and family." She was the type doesn't like to take medication. She told me nature has the best medicine and the kitchen is your best medicine cabinet. My grandmother was also an amazing woman. She was my teacher of herbal medicine. I was taught to use herbs from her small garden to take care of my mouth sore, colds, and tummy aches. That little seed of healing with natural herbs was planted since very early in my life. As I grew up, I was set to be a doctor by my parent's request. But I was drawn deeply to the amazing aroma of the herbs and decided to study Chinese medicine. When I started my medical training in Taiwan and Chinese, I was guided by a lot of amazing Chinese Medicine masters that showed me how to follow the natural rhythm to treat illness and live a healthy life. Their principle of following the nature of balance influenced my philosophy of life. Now I want to bring this practice to my patients and help my patients to live healthy, balanced, and focus on the whole person.
