Dr Wang developed her unique style from her family tradition, her study in China, and various styles practiced in North America, not limited to Japanese, Korean and classic Five Element style. She thanks her mother a TCM doctor who gave her the first exposure the magic of this medicine. She is also grateful for the opportunity to study in North America from masters of different schools which broadened her family tradition.

Although she obtained her Doctorate degree with a specialization of neuromuscular and sport medicine, she believes in the power of this holistic medicine and its systematic approach to health. Dr Wang supports patients to restore health from acute and chronic issues, she uses the most classical style to work with the most modern health issues . She wants her patients to greatly benefit from this holistic medicine which encompasses the practice of variety of traditional disciplines: nutrition, diet, life styles, herb, minerals, breathing, relaxation exercises (Qi Gong, Tai Chi), body work (Shiatsu and Tui Na), other needle-free treatment & heat therapies, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion and more.

​Growing up with Olympic athletes in her circle, Dr Wang’s approach to athletes focuses on long term restoration of health to enhance sports performance: In today’s world, most approach athletes through strict regimens of calorie counting, over-training, over-emphasis on body image, under-emphasis on recovery. The lack of support on long term health, and a lack of mental and spiritual support undermine performance goals and longevity. Although there is time and place for utilizing these approaches, Dr Wang is dedicated to creating a disciplined program to match the athlete’s training calendar and peak performance goals while simultaneously considering balance and longevity.

She also encourages patients to cultivate their internal and external environment. She believes self cultivation thrives in a supportive environment, our family, our social and natural environment is part of our holistic being and holistic healing.
