Holistic Healing and Balance

Integrating Ancient Chinese Medicine with Modern Techniques to Foster Wellness and Harmony

Beginnings and Mission

I founded PAOM in 1997 in Seattle, later relocating to the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina in 1999. My mission is to help individuals find relief and improved well-being by applying the time-tested medical principles of ancient China. I am also passionate about preserving and sharing this healing wisdom with my community and the world.

Areas of Expertise

While I address a wide range of health concerns using Chinese medical diagnosis and treatment, I have a particular interest and experience in acute and chronic pain, women's health and infertility support, digestive disorders, mood disorders, and cancer support.

Treatment Approach

My approach integrates modern, science-based techniques with classical Chinese medicine, rooted in the Classical Era of Chinese history. These traditional methods view humans as a microcosm of the universe, emphasizing that our health is intertwined with the planet's well-being. I focus on understanding physiology in an ecological way, respecting natural rhythms, and honoring the holistic insights of Chinese medicine.

The Power of Yang Sheng

I am deeply influenced by the principles of 養生 (“Yang Sheng”), a tradition championed by the master Sun Si Miao. This practice emphasizes “nourishing life” through dietary changes, breathing exercises, movement, and mindfulness. Chinese medicine excels at fostering harmony and balance rather than merely treating disease, helping patients connect with nature, their bodies, and their spirit.

Professional Goals

One of my primary professional goals is to better integrate Chinese medicine into the dominant medical system, making it accessible to more patients who could benefit from its holistic approach.
