I was on a healing path and needed help and guidance to focus on my wellbeing. It was the right thing to do because I've been learning and practicing qigong here now for the past three years and it's been awesome! It's an amazing dojo full of good vibes and great people. I especially like the 18 Hands of Luohan and Muscle Tendon Changing qigong classes by Kim Ivy and Laura Quandt. For all new students, I recommend signing up for the new student special unlimited pass where you pay one low price and can try as many classes as you want for one month.

If you have the opportunity to study with Kim, by all means take it! There aren't many like her left in our field of study.

His clinic takes most insurance and his prices are competitive. Do give him a try and enjoy his cheerful and very knowledgeable staff. By the way, his son Xiao, a graduate of Bastyr University's Acupuncture Master's Degree program, is also a part of the practice. Dr. Xue Zhi Wang is an O.M.D. trained in China. I have been his patient for over 20 years - first for finding better treatment for my lifelong asthma - which he ended up curing! I continued to see him to boost my immune system through acupuncture, herbs and QiGong and this took away aches, pains and kept colds, flu, etc. away. When cancer happened I used Western medicine for the cure and Dr. Wang's treatments for recovery. Dr. Wang later suspected my cancer had returned. This time he treated my early stage cancer (with my cancer doctor monitoring my progress) with herbs, acupuncture and guiding me through Qi Gong practice and a prescribed diet of lots of veggies, fruit and water. My cancer doctor kept watch and like me was so happy when I was cancer free. I have continued to be cancer free for over 20 years and consider Dr Wang a key member of my medical and overall health team.

I have been to at least 6 acupuncturists over the years, including one who was a master teacher at a famous school in Maryland. I thought I would never find anyone as competent as she was. I was wrong! At my first visit Dr. Cheng spent an hour and a half with me, taking in my history, family life, and health issues past and present. I expected the usual tongue and pulse check. I was very surprised when Dr. Cheng also checked my energy, my body posture and meridians. She is very unique in that she works with the body on many levels and so is able to bring about healing more quickly and more gently than other practitioners I have encountered. She was not only thorough but also very kind and made me feel very comfortable. The space is beautiful and calming and Dr. Cheng is very gentle in her treatment. I have serious health issues and I trust that Dr. Cheng will help me in improving them and bring me back into balance. I am going back for my 4th visit this week and I feel extremely fortunate that I have found this practitioner!

I have always been skeptical about acupuncture and chinese medicine because of all the horrible…read morestories I have heard before. It was until I met Dr. Cheng, my view started to change. I had this cough for 3 months last winter due to our weather here in Seattle. I went to see an internal medicine doctor, ENT (Eye Nose Throat) specialist, taking extra vitamins, but things just weren't getting better. I got to meet Dr Cheng in November and found out about her impressive background - PhD in Molecular Biology and was a research scientist at Merck. A PhD in Molecular Biology & Chinese Medicine? That's interesting. I gave it a try and had a couple sessions with Dr. Cheng where she treated me with Chinese herbs and acupuncture. Dr. Cheng was able to communicate with me about the concepts behind Chinese medicine and acupuncture through a scientific approach. Most of the Chinese medicine could not do that. If you are like me, who likes to understand how things work and why they work, Dr. Cheng is excellent doctor. I will be going back to see Dr. Cheng for my acupuncture "tune-up" for sure!

And as a person with a full time desk job, and a climber/long distance runner, those stresses sometimes get exacerbated. I came back for another round of treatment and to follow up from the aches I experienced after my fall. I felt so much better after receiving acupuncture treatment and cupping. I seriously loved the way I felt during the appointment. It was the self-care I needed and was a real treat. I was so astonished that my pain had subsided the next day and I felt refreshed and fueled to continue my normal outdoor activities. Dr. Phonexay Lala Simon not only focuses on the physical concerns but looks to aid your mindfulness of yourself and bring self awareness to your well being. She is very personable and easy to talk to. I really appreciated the insights she had and the questions she asked me to better understand how my treatment should be suited for my health. And as a very active person, it meant a lot to get natural treatment to my injuries that align with my values of health and wellness. I appreciate the honesty and sincerity of the staff and the values of the clinic overall. I am definitely a fan and will continue treatments to help enhance my mind and body as I increase my activity level with the various sports I partake in.
