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.

Through a mix of Private Chinese and Japanese Style Acupuncture treatments, Adjunctive techniques, Essential oils, Nutrition counseling, Crystals and One-on-one Interactions, we strive to achieve and maintain the best quality of life as inexpensively as possible, for all who seek it.

We are a small family run clinic located near the Texas Medical Center. In practice for 31 years, we provide treatments for the full range of conditions which respond to acupuncture. We routinely recieve referrals from internists, neurologists, endocrinologists, reproductive endocrinologists, cardiologists ,psychiatrists, psychologists, physical therapists and chiropractors. We also provide rehabilitation services for orthodedic and neurological problems and have a personal trainer on site skilled in corrective exercise.

I am passionate about sharing the unique benefits of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with my clients. My goal is to promote a happy and balanced lifestyle, free of pain for all those I treat. I have always been inspired by my Chinese heritage but my journey into TCM truly began after a serious motor vehicle accident left me with serious injuries that only began to heal after a course of acupuncture treatments. After making a full recovery, I began formal studies at Pacific Rim College, graduating with my Diploma of Acupuncture and subsequently obtaining my acupuncture license with the Canadian College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia.

My areas of special interest include: neurological conditions, geriatric care, acute and chronic pain management, and sports medicine. I am continually pursuing higher learning in these areas and receive ongoing training to ensure the best results for my clients. I utilize acupuncture, moxabustion, cupping, TCM diet therapy, and lifestyle counselling to design treatments best suited to my client’s needs. During time away from the office, I enjoy cooking, gardening, hiking with my dog, and exploring the ocean and forests of Vancouver Island.
