Xin About

As a licensed acupuncturist with over a decade of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I am dedicated to delivering compassionate and patient-centered care that fosters balance, relief and wellness. Through personalized acupuncture treatments integrated with the principles of Chinese medicine, I aim to support your journey toward optimal health and vitality. 

 

My passion for healthcare traces back to my formative years at Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, where I immersed myself in an intensive eight-year program, earning both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Chinese medicine. During this time, I completed a one-year internship at Shenzhen Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and

three years of residency training at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine. These experiences provided me with extensive clinical experience and honed my skills in managing diverse and complex cases with confidence, precision and compassion.

Following graduation, I worked as a TCM pediatrician for over three years at the Yantian District People's Hospital in Shenzhen, China. Witnessing the transformation of my young patients was always my greatest reward! Many children arrived to us feeling unwell and scared, crying or hiding behind their parents. With patience, compassion and effective treatment, they would smile or even play with us. Seeing them leaving healthier and happier brought me immense satisfaction and reinforced my commitment to this field. 

 

These experiences allowed me to rotate through nearly every department across different hospitals, working with a large patient population provided extensive exposure to diverse cases, solidifying my foundation in both Eastern and Western medicine. Most importantly, it taught me to approach my work with humility and patience. There are always some diseases even doctors can’t fully explain, and there are always some patients who understand their conditions better than ordinary doctors. To cure Sometimes, to Relieve often, to comfort always.

 

After moving to the United States three years ago for family reasons, I deliciated myself to bridging the gaps in language, culture and professional practice. I worked as a medical assistant while continuing my studies to further develop my skills. I want to prepare the best of myself to know every one of my patients, build connections, and bring healing and energy to people’s lives. 

 

Now, I'm excited to bring my expertise to you, tailoring treatments to address your specific needs and goals. My mission is to create a space where your body, mind and spirit can thrive, enable you to unlock your full potential and embrace a healthier, more balanced life.
