About - Acupuncture with Ying

My Story

At Acupuncture with Ying, we blend ancient wisdom with gentle care to help you find balance and wellness.

Ying Zhang is a California Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac) and Diplomate of Oriental Medicine certified by NCCAOM (The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, now called NCBAHM).
Ying became interested in Chinese Medicine after it helped her with insomnia, digestive issues and fatigue, with which she had struggled for years. Out of curiosity, she took classes and attended workshops about this thousand-year tradition. It eventually became her life long calling.
Ying holds a Master’s of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Alhambra Medical University, CA. She went to China after graduation to follow local practitioners where she encountered hundreds of cases every week and got to treat patients under supervision and guidance. Ying still continues to learn new theories and skills and applies to her practice to improve overall results.
Ying, during her study of Chinese Medicine, developed a deep interest in Chinese culture, her very own culture. She loves spending time practicing martial arts, Chinese calligraphy and tea. She enjoys cooking, hiking, knitting, and gardening in the LA Arboretum where she volunteers regularly.

The ceiling features exposed wooden beams, adding to the natural ambiance. Several potted plants are arranged throughout the area, enhancing the tranquil and cozy atmosphere.

An assortment of traditional herbal ingredients, possibly used in Chinese medicine, arranged on papers with writing. A brass tray holds various plant materials next to a white mortar and pestle. A chopstick-style tool with colorful tassels is also present.

Sunlight streams into a dimly lit room, illuminating a table adorned with a yellow cloth and a mesh-like fabric. A window with a dark, rolled-down shade is in the background, and a decorative metal object with intricate patterns is placed in the foreground. The sunlight creates a warm and serene atmosphere with light rays visibly spreading across the scene.

A well-organized room features a massage table covered with a white sheet and a folded towel at one end, situated on a decorative rug with intricate patterns. The wooden floor adds warmth to the ambiance. Against the far wall stands an ornately carved wooden cabinet displaying various items. There are two tall windows covered with bamboo shades allowing soft natural light to filter through. Several framed artworks hang on the adjacent wall. A small black stool is placed near the massage table.
