Programs
Dr. Angela C. Wu’s unique treatment approach reflects her professional training, her experience as a teacher and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and her personal journey. In her work with clients, she shares insights gained through her own life experiences and her exploration of new healing approaches and practices.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the use of thin, sterile needles, inserted by a trained acupuncturist along the body’s energy channels, or meridians, to stimulate, clear, or redirect body energy (also called Qi). After assessing your condition by asking questions, examining, and feeling pulses, Dr. Wu or her qualified associates insert needles in a pattern designed to rebalance your energy for optimal health. It takes just a few minutes to insert the needles, but you will rest with them inserted for a while.
Acupressure
Acupressure is the use of manual techniques and stretches to redirect Qi along the body’s meridians. Acupressure offered at the clinic ranges from brief treatments to two specialized practices: Chi Organ Acupressure and Chi Meridian Acupressure.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient technique used to stimulate and clear Qi/Blood along the same meridians used in acupuncture and acupressure. The practitioner uses a flame to create a vacuum inside a heavy glass dome, or “cup,” then applies the cup to your back and other areas. The cups adhere to the skin through suction, drawing blood to the capillaries to be recirculated throughout the body.
Moxibustion
In moxibustion, a dried herb called mugwort or “moxa” is burned on or near the skin to stimulate specific acupuncture points. The practitioner may light a stick of moxa and use it like a wand to warm various points, or may light moxa directly on acupuncture needles inserted in the body. For some conditions, moxa is burned on a fresh slice of ginger or on a mixture of garlic, salt, and herbs, which is applied to the skin.
Herbal Prescriptions
Dr. Wu often prescribes Chinese herbs to support her treatments. Prescriptions may take the form of a pre-made liquid, powder, pill, or capsule, or may consist of an herbal tea formula made specially for you. These formulas are concocted in the clinic of dried herbs that you cook at home, as directed by Dr. Wu. Guidelines are provided with each prescription.
Eating and Drinking Guidelines
In matters of eating and drinking, Dr. Wu adheres to the Five Elements and Eight Principles theory that is the basis for all traditional Chinese medicine. Each food or herb has unique properties that affect the flow of energy, or Qi/Blood, in your body. To balance your Qi/Blood for optimal health, Dr. Wu may recommend that you avoid certain foods or add new foods. These recommendations may change as your condition evolves, and may vary by season. By adopting these recommendations, you can greatly enhance the effectiveness of your acupuncture and acupressure treatments and herbal prescriptions.
Self Care
Dr. Wu may recommend a variety of self-care techniques — from Six Healing Sound breathing exercises and the Inner Smile meditation to Tai Qi and Qi Gong — to support your clinic treatments. More information on these techniques can be found in Dr. Wu’s book, Fertility Wisdom.
If you are looking for an acupuncturist, I definitely recommend Dr. Wu. She is friendly, knowledgeable, kind, funny, and has a great bedside manner. She also has a crazy-good memory so don’t try and pull one past her because she will remember!

I knew Dr. Wu was going to be different because she actually requested my medical records, which no other acupuncturist has ever done. Dr. Wu was caring, understanding, and very confident that I was capable of having a baby, which gave me so much hope.

Dr. Wu was warm, welcoming, and professional. She assured me she could help. And she was right. After only one clinic treatment and two weeks of her prescribed remedies I already notice a big difference.

I return to Dr. Wu whenever I have an ailment she would be able to help with, more than a typical Western medicine approach. She understands my underlying tendencies and can treat them before symptoms surface, helping my body and mind become stronger and more resilient.
