Clinical Innovation
Dr. Chi’s clinical approach blends the best of classical and modern methods. She combines Fang's Scalp Acupuncture (targeting the central nervous system) with Five Shu Points and holographic acupuncture (stimulating the peripheral nervous system) to treat a wide variety of complex internal, external, gynecological, pediatric, and autoimmune conditions — even in cases where Western medicine is primarily used to manage symptoms.
This integrative method often leads to reduced medication use, fewer side effects, and enhanced treatment outcomes.

This program also supports career development and builds confidence in treating complex, chronic conditions.
Technology & Innovation
Dr. Chi also leads the development of a TCM AI platform, which is widely used in clinical care, medical education in China . This platform combines traditional diagnostic wisdom with modern data tools to support practitioners in making effective, informed clinical decisions.
Healing Philosophy
Dr. Chi believes that healing happens most effectively when we work with the body — not against it. The human body is governed by natural principles: balance, flow, rhythm, and connection. These aren’t just concepts — they are the foundation of how the body maintains health and responds to treatment.
“When we follow these natural principles,” she often says,
“it’s like sailing with the wind. Healing takes less effort, and everything flows more smoothly. It’s like magic.
But when we go against them, it’s like trying to sail into the wind — we face resistance, use more energy, and may never reach our destination.”
This belief underlies every aspect of her practice, from acupuncture and herbal therapy to lifestyle and patient education. Her goal is to guide each patient back into balance, allowing the body to heal itself through its own innate intelligence.
