I am Jingyu Gu, PhD & Lic. Acu. My acupuncture practice started in 1972 in Shanghai. I founded the Taiji & Qigong Meditation Center and Wellspring Acupuncture & Holistic Health Clinic. My patients receive not only standard acupuncture and herbal treatments but also instruction on therapeutic taiji and qigong exercises. This harmonious and holistic treatment paradigm is the highest often hard-to-reach level of therapy in the TCM tradition. I taught these subjects in the Texas College of TCM (TX Health & Science Univ.) as well to acupuncturists for their CEU and served on the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners for 5 years.
