Dr. Wang’s appreciation for the power of Acupuncture came from several personal experiences with relief from Acupuncture treatments and Chinese Herbal Medicine. After suffering three car accidents in her final year of undergraduate studies, Dr. Wang finally got relief from her pain and neuropathy after her very first acupuncture treatment.

During a one-year self-directed study at several clinics in Taiwan, Dr. Wang had the opportunity to witness the incredible healing power of Chinese Herbal Medicine in treating some of the most stubborn, chronic cases of illness that were unresponsive to other forms of therapy. The combination of Acupuncture with prescribed Chinese Herbs rendered such extraordinary results that upon her return to Bastyr University, Dr. Wang enrolled in the Chinese Herbal Medicine program in addition to her already intensive studies in the Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture programs. Dr. Wang completed her Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine studies with an internship at the Chengdu University Hospital in Chengdu, China.

Other internships include several HIV clinics, a substance addiction clinic (NADA-National Acupuncture Detoxification Association), chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia clinics,
