Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Cosmetic Acupuncture, and Micro- and Nano-Needling
Growing up in China, Nara was introduced to Traditional Chinese Medicine by her grandparents, who used these techniques to treat family and friends. This inspired her with a lifelong interest in Chinese Medicine and ying-yang balance to promote healthy living and well-being.
Nara holds a license from the Minnesota State Medical Board and is certified by the National Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She achieved a Master's Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and specialties in pain and stress management, cosmetic needling, women's health, and treating digestive issues.

Being passionate about inspiring others to realize their unique health and wellness goals, Nara is also a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.
Before dedicating her life to helping others, Nara earned a Master's Degree in International Relations, Economy and Trade. She worked in a high-stress Chinese business environment and witnessed firsthand the difficulty this lifestyle may cause in people's health. With this experience, Nara understands how chronic stress and disease may arise when one's lifestyle becomes unbalanced. This helps her connect and empathize with patients to develop a comprehensive and effective treatment plan for their individual situation.
In her personal life, Nara enjoys traveling to exotic destinations, visiting national and state parks, hiking, yoga, reading, and cooking gourmet Chinese cuisine.
