Why patients choose us

Experienced hands, a gentle touch

Yaping Chen, L.Ac., trained alongside leading Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors in Beijing and Hangzhou before bringing her practice to downtown Palo Alto. She listens first, then treats the root — not just the symptom.

  • Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Massage Therapist (CMT)
  • Personalized treatment plans — never one-size-fits-all
  • Single-use, sterile needles & a calm, private setting
  • Insurance accepted (Anthem, Cigna, United — out-of-network)
