Our philosophy

At Felice Acupuncture, we help our patients find their innate abilities to heal.

  • Jing · essence

    Jing is your essence, your physical foundation and inherited vitality from your ancestors.

  • Qi · vitality

    Qi is your vitality, it is your life force cultivated through breath, food, and movement.

  • Shen · spirit

    Shen is your spirit, and is the radiance that shines through. It is the spark of your unique personality.

Taken together, these three treasures can be thought of as a candle - jing is the wax and wick, Qi is the flame, and shen is the light emitted.

Portrait of Dr. Felice Chan, smiling

Meet Dr. Felice Chan

  • Dr. Felice Chan, L.Ac
  • Founder

Raised in Hong Kong, where Traditional Chinese Medicine was part of daily life, she later studied neuroscience and pre-med at Bowdoin College before earning her Chinese medical doctoral degree at Emperor’s College in Los Angeles.

Years later, while studying neuroscience and working in hospitals, she began to see the gap between symptom management and true root healing. That realization led her back to her roots and toward a more integrated model of care.

“She believes that medicine is not something we take but something we remember.”

What is acupuncture?

Originating in China 3,000 years ago, acupuncture elicits your body’s innate power to find balance.

In Chinese medicine, acupuncture consists of placing thin needles at specific points of energy reservoirs to tap into the body's Qi. The needles are placed at certain depths, guided by a tongue and pulse diagnostic, to bring the body back into balance.

The science behind acupuncture

Felice has a background in neuroscience and understands the importance of the mind-body connection.
We do read labs, and we work with your Western doctors.

Frequently asked questions

What happens during my first visit?

Your initial visit is 75 minutes. Before your appointment, you'll complete an intake form. Together, you and your practitioner will review it and talk through your symptoms, followed by a tongue and pulse diagnostic and your first acupuncture treatment. You'll leave with a personalized treatment plan.

Most patients find acupuncture surprisingly gentle. You may feel a brief sensation as the needles are placed, followed by warmth, heaviness, tingling, or deep relaxation.

It depends on your goals and history. Your practitioner will recommend a treatment plan after your first visit.

Many patients notice a change within the first few sessions; long-standing concerns usually take longer. Your practitioner will review your progress with you at each visit.

Most people feel calm and relaxed, sometimes a little tired. Drink water, rest if you can, and tell your practitioner how you felt at your next visit.

There is no specific dress code. During your treatment, we will ask you to remove necessary clothing to ensure certain acupuncture points are accessible. We will cover you with blankets and towels to make you feel your most comfortable.

Prices depend on the treatment and session length. See our services page for current prices, or contact us with any questions.
