Meet the Acupuncturist
Born and educated in Beijing, China, I have always had dream to become a therapist. Back in my 20s, after a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Literature, I did a Certificate in Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine and Qigong in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Since I came to New Zealand in 2000, I worked in varied jobs including acupuncture clinics and international education and finally in 2016, I started a 3 year course towards a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in Acupuncture from the New Zealand College of Chinese Medicine. After graduation, I worked closely with doctors, physiotherapists, and chiropractors, as well as running a home based clinic in Sandringham, Auckland. I treated patients with a wide range of conditions, from musculo-skeletal pain to psycho-emotional disorders such as insomnia, depression, and anxiety; post stroke; post cancer treatment care and gynecological disorders. I completed the degree (an extra year) towards a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in Chinese Medicine in 2020.
With my retired husband, we moved to Coromandel in January 2021 and set up my new clinic Coromandel Community Acupuncture and has received a great support from the community. I have established myself as a local acupuncturist and have been working with doctors, osteopath and other health professionals. Word of mouth is my main source of new patients. In December 2022 we finally moved to our new house at Wyuna Bay and my home clinic has amazing views of rolling hills and both the harbour and the ocean, which I have dreamed to provide as a healing paradise for my patients. In November 2022, I expanded my practice to Whitianga which has offered me the opportunity to work closely with even more health professionals including midwife. I have enjoyed working in this wonderful community and bringing my skills to serve a wider population in the peninsula.
The core principle of my practice is to provide affordable and accessible services to improve the health and wellbeing for the community.
I am also a Taichi teacher and have been dedicated to this ancient practice for over 25 years. I look for the holistic approach with my patients and assist them to maintain their health in a taichi way. I have been running weekly taichi classes in Coromandel and Colville since February 2021.
In my spare time, I am a keen ocean swimmer (member of Coromandel Dolphins), tramper, and enjoy music, photography, and the arts.
