Background
I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, Acupuncturist, and certified Qi Gong instructor with over 15 years of clinical practice. I'm also a men's coach (in training) and womb awakening practitioner. For the past 15 years, I specialized in helping people heal from chronic illness and optimize wellness. This experience has been rewarding and invaluable.
My work sits at a rare intersection: where clinical medicine meets ancient energy cultivation. I bridge lifestyle and nutritional medicine, modern hormone and metabolic optimization, acupuncture, biomagnetism, and Taoist Qi Gong — helping people understand their own physiology and energy, and learn to optimize both with intention. As an empath and energetically sensitive person, I love teaching other people to turn their sensitivities into their strengths.
I am a lifelong learner, adventurer, and someone who genuinely loves this work.
For Men
I am building a private coaching advisory for men focused on the full picture of male vitality: hormonal optimization, nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and healthy sexuality.
My goal is to help men reclaim their vitality, own their power, and lead with the kind of noble presence that commands respect and earns trust.
Masculine energy — at its best — is focused, powerful, generative, and noble. Integrative medicine, conscious cultivation, and coaching can support optimization in all of these areas.
For Women
For women, I offer intuitive integrative medicine addressing all aspects of health — physical, emotional, energetic — as well as transformational Womb Awakening retreats and workshops that support vitality, awakening, and the reclaiming of soft and healthy feminine power.
Background & Training
My path into this work began with my own healing. During college, I struggled with health concerns that conventional medicine couldn't resolve. Turning to a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist changed my life — and the course of my career.
I earned my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and Masters in Acupuncture at Bastyr University, and my BA in Medical Ethics from Brown University. I trained as a research assistant at Harvard's Osher Institute for Integrative Medicine, and studied TCM at Beijing University's Medical School.
My energy cultivation training runs deep: 12 years in direct study under Qi Gong Master Dr. Guan Cheng Sun, certification as a Yi Ren Qi Gong instructor, five years of acupuncture mentorship under a seasoned practitioner, and certification as a Womb Awakening practitioner through the Institute of Feminine Arts.
I am currently working on a life and spirituality coaching certification as well as coaching for men's sacred sexuality.
What distinguishes my work most is not credentials — it is the depth of my own inner work, and a lived, embodied understanding of what it takes to heal and reclaim vitality.
I am also — perhaps most importantly — the mother of two sons.
"She works, speaks, and teaches from a place of lived experience, clinical rigor, and genuine reverence and curiosity for the complexity of human healing."
Let me keep company always with those who say
“Look!” and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.

DR. CHAN TRULY LISTENS. I FELT HEARD, VALIDATED, AND SUPPORTED. SHE NOT ONLY UNDERSTANDS THE HUMAN BODY, SHE UNDERSTANDS THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND WHAT WE ALL NEED TO HEAL.
she got to the root of the problem. I had Lyme Disease along with several of it’s co-infections. i thought we would just address physical symptoms, but she found ways to support me emotionally too. IVE NEVER FELT BETTER!
My intestines had been destroyed from years of antibiotics that had been prescribed for me, so my body wasn’t able to absorb any nutrients from the food I was eating. I was literally starving. I am happy to report that all of my symptoms are gone and I’m eating a variety of foods again!
