Dr. Yen’s path to becoming a holistic practitioner began with her nursing education in Arizona.

During her studies at Daoist Traditions College, Dr. Yen had the opportunity to study with Master Jeffrey Yuen, a world-renowned Classical Chinese Medicine practitioner and an 88th Generation Daoist Priest.

Dr. Yen’s holistic approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. She believes that true healing arises when these elements are in harmony. In addition to acupuncture and herbal medicine, Dr. Yen offers electroacupuncture, cupping, tuina, guasha, and dietary recommendations in her practice. Dr. Yen specializes in stress management, women’s health, mental-emotional health, pain management, and Chinese dietary therapy. Her goal is to go above and beyond to help patients achieve the quality of life that they desire.

When she is not seeing patients in the clinic, Dr. Yen enjoys gardening, connecting with nature, trying out new recipes in her kitchen, and practicing mindfulness through qigong and meditation.
