"Dr Joy is the best acupuncturist I have worked with and I have experienced immediate shifts in my body as she makes adjustments through our sessions" The following is Jessic's google review Working with Dr Joy has been incredible! I am very thoughtful about the practitioners I have chosen to work with and after much research, felt as though Dr Joy could help me. I currently drive 2 hours each way for my appointments as I could not find a practitioner who could help me locally. I have dealt with Lyme and also began seeing her last Fall for recurring Shingles. I had experienced Shingles previously (I am only 32), during a time of stress, and it popped up again in the Fall with that familiar rash and nerve pain. My body was so full of toxins that I was so tired, had trouble sleeping, my emotions felt all over the place, and the rash that had initially started on my sides began extending up over my chest, covered my whole upper left arm, low back, and down onto my thighs. The rash was THE WORST, not feeling comfortable wearing clothes, always feeling like I had to manage it - like an invisible prison. I have, for the longest time, experienced low body temp (around 97) with cold hands and feet. I also had dealt with neck pain that I would manage with massage. After my first appointment with Dr Joy, my neck pain disappeared! It took some time and dedication working through Shingles, but after 4-5 months the nerve pain was gone and my rash was almost completely better. I’m going on 8/9 months working with Dr Joy now and feels as though my body is sorting through everything. I am warmer now (98 degrees!), my sleep is deeper, I feel lighter. I frequently nap during my sessions and every session can be different as she tailors her care to your needs. Appointments never feel rushed. We have incorporated cupping, acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, ear seeds, movement, and diet change into my care. Dr Joy not only treats you at your session, but she can provide you with the tools needed to continue care at home in-between sessions which has been so helpful. Dr Joy is the best acupuncturist I have worked with and I have experienced immediate shifts in my body as she makes adjustments through our sessions. She is thoughtful, kind, & wise. I appreciate the teamwork aspect of her care as she really listens to you, believes what you are experiencing, and then moves into action to support your body with what it needs. If you have experienced a lack of support with western medicine, feel as though you are a complex case, or are just wanting to improve your quality of life, please see Dr Joy and experience the expertise she has within Chinese medicine!
"She is an extraordinary human being, a brilliant doctor and a terrific healer!"

“ Healing is “1/3 the patient, 1/3 Me, and 1/3 the Creator!”
Prior to treatment, people that come in for treatment with Dr. Joy Yang often describe a palpable feeling of unease permeating throughout their lives. A feeling of being "stuck." This might be from stress, emotional, or even physical pain. Whatever the initial cause of the imbalance, the first priority is to address the source of the malady so that treatments are not simply a superficial bandage.
With JoyTherapy the prevailing philosophy is that symptoms are not problems to be addressed and then forgotten. There is a bigger issue that must be resolved before a true healing transformation can take place. In TCM, physical and emotional ailments are seen as signs from the Body and Spirit that, in its wisdom, lead the way to improved physical or emotional health for each patient if the correct actions are taken.
​
This idea stems from the premise that the Body and the Mind work together in a symbiotic partnership. Much like a seesaw at a playground, when one side of the seesaw is “down," it influences the entire structure. The achievement of Integral Health and Wellness with Dr. Yang requires balancing the body, mind, and spirit to be in harmony with each other.
The healing methods used during the JoyTherapy are designed specifically to help patients reach their full potential. Through the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (and Dr. Yang’s innovative use of pulse consultations), patients can reach stages of self-healing and awareness not previously achieved or imagined. Additionally, patients that come in for treatment as a means of continual self-care often report a heightening of strength and will, better health, and a deeper, more meaningful connection with their Inner Self.
With wholeness being the goal, JoyTherapy treatments are truly holistic because the patient is taught life-long skills to live a better life. As Dr. Yang continuously states: “ Healing is 1/3 the patient, 1/3 Me, and 1/3 the creator!”
