About Us
En Yang Acupuncture --Professional Clinic in Edmonton Healing with Grace & Light---Your Path to Wellness
Our Approach
At En Yang Acupuncture Clinic, we take a holistic approach to healthcare, grounded in both tradition and modern clinical practice. We believe the body has an innate ability to heal itself, and our role is to support and enhance that process through acupuncture and other natural therapies.
The name En Yang reflects the foundation of our philosophy and our family heritage.
“En (恩)”, meaning grace and kindness, honors my grandfather’s name, while “Yang (阳)”, meaning light and vitality, honors my father’s name. Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture have been practiced in my family for generations, shaping a deep respect for thoughtful, patient-centered healing.
Today, En Yang Acupuncture Clinic continues this legacy by combining classical Chinese medicine principles with evidence-informed care, focusing on precision, compassion, and long-term wellness.
Our Practitioners
As a licensed acupuncturist, I bring together a strong background in life sciences and a deep-rooted family tradition in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I hold a Master’s degree in Life Sciences and spent over a decade working at the University of Alberta, where I was involved in molecular biology research related to disease mechanisms. During this time, I collaborated with colleagues and co-authored more than ten peer-reviewed publications in internationally recognized scientific journals. This experience provided me with a rigorous scientific foundation and a detailed understanding of human physiology and disease processes.
Following my family’s long-standing tradition in Chinese medicine, I later pursued full-time professional training in acupuncture in Edmonton. After completing a three-year accredited acupuncture program, I became a Registered Acupuncturist.
By integrating a life sciences research background with traditional Chinese medical principles, I approach patient care with both analytical precision and a holistic perspective. In clinical practice, I emphasize careful assessment, targeted treatment strategies, and gentle, effective techniques tailored to each individual’s condition and goals.
