Meet Joyce Wu

Joyce practices traditional Chinese medical arts in the San Francisco Bay Area. She was born and raised in Guangdong, China, where holistic medicine is part of daily life. When she was a teenager, she started assisting a master acupuncturist, learning by watching.

Later, Joyce attended the Acupuncture & Integrated Medicine College in Berkeley and its sister school in Tokyo, the Goto College of Medical Arts & Sciences. In Japan she trained in needling techniques that maximize comfort and relaxation for the patient, including treatments where needles only touch the skin.

Joyce continued her education in Austria, where she received specialist training at the Wittlinger Lymphedema Clinic.

In her spare time, Joyce aspires to eating her way through Southeast Asia and the American South.
