Qian (Hetty) Wu
MAOM, L.Ac., NCCAOM Certified
Licensed Acupuncturist
Dedicated to Your Holistic Well-being
Qian (Hetty) Wu is a skilled and compassionate practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offering authentic, personalized care grounded in both classical theory and modern evidence-based practice.
She holds a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM), which provided comprehensive training in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and core TCM modalities. Currently, she is pursuing a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) at Five Branches University, with a focus on Chinese Medical Psychology, trauma-informed care, and integrative medicine.
In addition to her formal education, Hetty continues to enhance her clinical expertise through advanced training with respected TCM masters in both China and the United States. These studies have focused on a range of conditions, including pain management, mental health, women's health, and infertility—equipping her to provide highly tailored and effective treatments.
Nationally certified by the NCCAOM, Hetty combines traditional diagnostic methods—such as pulse and tongue analysis—with a variety of therapeutic techniques, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, and more.
Inspired by her father's legacy as an acupuncturist, Hetty brings empathy, attentiveness, and a strong commitment to addressing the root causes of health concerns. Her background in law and education further enhances her ability to advocate for and communicate effectively with her patients.
Outside of clinical practice, Hetty enjoys reading, hiking, and connecting with nature—activities that reflect and support her holistic view of health and well-being.
At our clinic, Hetty is committed to guiding you on your path to wellness by integrating the time-honored wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern clinical insight.
