What is YiQi?

YiQi (yee-chee)

The Story of YiQi Traditional Chinese Medicine

 

At YiQi Traditional Chinese Medicine, our name is our mission. “Yi” (益) means beneficial. “Qi” (气) is your vital energy. Together, they form the core of our belief: that true healing comes from awakening your body’s own beneficial energy.

 

But there’s a second meaning we hold dear. YiQi sounds like “一起” (yīqǐ) – which means “together” or “in collaboration.” This is no coincidence. It represents our promise: to walk together with you, in collaborative partnership, on your path to wellness.

 

We are a compassionate collective of certified doctors specializing in women's health. We have built a sanctuary where ancient healing traditions meet modern understanding, all centered on one purpose—empowering you through every season of your life.

 

Our philosophy is simple yet profound: With our help—gently provoking your energy through acupuncture and acupressure massage—we believe your body naturally heals itself. We don’t impose healing from the outside; we facilitate the powerful, innate intelligence within you to restore balance and vitality.

 

Our journey with you might begin with a dream.

 

For those walking the path of fertility, we offer a gentle hand. We understand the hope and heartache that can accompany this journey. Using time-honored techniques, we work to nurture your body’s innate balance and create an optimal foundation for life to blossom. We walk together with you, offering not just treatment, but hope.

 

It might focus on radiant vitality.

 

We believe true beauty is a reflection of internal harmony. Our signature Acu-Facial treatments are a testament to this philosophy. By stimulating your beneficial energy and circulation, we promote a glowing complexion from the inside out.

 

It often revolves around the miracle of motherhood.

 

From the first positive test to the postpartum period, we are here to support you. After your beautiful arrival, we focus on your recovery—replenishing your energy and helping you find strength and balance as you step into your new role.

 

And it always returns to finding comfort.

 

Whether it’s the persistent ache of a chronic condition, our holistic approach to pain management seeks to understand the root cause of your discomfort, restoring your body’s natural flow and function.

Our Team

YiQi Medical Group began with Dr. Amy Wang’s epiphany during her internship at the Hanoi Medical University Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam when she witnessed a remarkable integration of Chinese medicine and Western medicine. She observed patients actively choose their preferred department, while doctors from both disciplines collaborated seamlessly with mutual respect for the other’s medical expertise.

Dr. Wang noticed this synergistic and patient-centered model was thriving in a developing nation, which starkly contrasted with the limiting healthcare system she witnessed in the US. Inspired by the more integrated model, Dr. Wang returned with a desire to bridge this gap and create a similar model in her own community. She envisioned a clinic where individuals could explore the vast potential of Chinese medicine, understanding that true healthcare extends beyond pharmaceuticals. 

 

Dr. Wang connected with Dr. Vi Au and Kevin Yen, who shared the same aspiration. Together, they founded Yi Qi Medical Group, as three Asian American acupuncturists united in their mission to share the wisdom of Chinese medicine with the world.

 

Our clinic name YiQi, meaning “coming together” in Mandarin, embodies our collaborative spirit. 

Person Receiving Back Massage
"I had been struggling with chronic lower back pain for years, and nothing seemed to help—not even physical therapy or painkillers. After just a few acupuncture sessions with Dr. Wang, I noticed a significant improvement. The pain that used to keep me up at night is now completely manageable, and I feel like I’ve gotten my life back. I can’t thank Dr. Wang enough for their expertise and care. Acupuncture has been a game-changer for me!"
