Wellness is the state of Optimal well-being in body, mind, and spirit.
The attainment of wellness requires a combination of science and art. At Art of Wellness, our mission is to provide the best holistic health care through acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. A good healer seeks to address all aspects of the person. By treating not only the symptoms of an illness, but also the source from which the illness originates, we aim to help our patients heal, to alleviate physical and emotional sufferings, to preserve health and vitality, and to prevent further illness. With exceptional training in Eastern and Western medicine from China, Dr. Tan & Dr. Cai have helped thousands of patients over their two decades of medical practice. Their unique skills, acquired over a lifetime of intense training and mastery of Qigong and martial arts, allow them to share not only medical knowledge, but abundant and powerful Qi ("Chi"), a palpable energy that is a powerful adjunct to healing. It is this Qi, or subtle energy, that allows healing on a holistic level.

My knowledge, education, and background in health and fitness are quite vast. Over the years I have studied under some of the industry’s best educators in acupuncture, massage therapy, biomechanics, exercise science, kinesiology, exercise physiology, yoga, personal training, reiki, and sport specific training. I am consistently working to stay at the cutting edge of the wellness industry. I work with humans of ALL shapes, sizes, abilities, and disabilities. My extensive background allows me to work with everyone and anyone on a body/mind/spirit level. I teach each person how to live and function more efficiently in life, whether an athlete working to take his/her game to the next level or an “average Joe/Jill” working to become more present to life and its offerings.
