A proud alumna of the University of California, Berkeley, Jiaoni Yang, L.Ac., brings a unique analytical perspective to holistic healing. She earned her Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the University of East-West Medicine, blending rigorous classical principles with deep clinical experience to deliver highly personalized, compassionate and holistic patient care.

Driven by a profound calling to serve, Jiaoni witnessed her late Buddhism teacher, who dedicated four decades of his life to providing community clinic care with deep wisdom and compassion. Inspired by his incredible legacy, she committed herself to paying that kindness forward to local communities. Her subsequent medical travels through China and Taiwan providing charitable care to patients she met along the way significantly deepened her practical understanding of traditional diagnostics and herbal formulations, reinforcing her belief in honoring and restoring the human body through natural balance.

In her clinical practice, Jiaoni specializes in treating the whole person rather than just isolating symptoms. Her comprehensive, gentle approach effectively addresses both acute and chronic conditions—ranging from pain management, digestive and endocrine disorders, and women’s health, to mental wellness and complex autoimmune diseases. By combining acupuncture, tailored herbal formulations, and restorative therapies with patient education, Jiaoni empowers individuals to achieve long-term vitality.

She looks forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey and hopes to meet you in the clinic soon.

​

She currently volunteers with underserved communities through community outreach initiatives at Long Beach Urban Salt Community Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine, participating in various community events each month. She also plans to expand her services by offering online health guidance in the near future. Stay tuned for updates!
