About us

History
For more than two decades, Quan Yin has provided acupuncture, therapeutic massage, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese exercise classes, meditation classes, nutritional counseling, comprehensive alternative/complementary medicine, and Western medicine support.
 Quan Yin Healing Arts Center was founded in the early 1980's with the view that there is a place for traditional Asian medicine in Western society, and that it could be complementary to Western medicine. The leadership and practitioners of Quan Yin have always been innovative and forward looking; therefore it has become an internationally respected treatment center that provides affordable primary care traditional Chinese medicine services.
For example, in 1984, the Quan Yin clinic became the first to offer full-service traditional Chinese medicine to treat HIV positive populations and, in 1989, offered the first comprehensive Chinese medicine approaches for those affected by the hepatitis C virus.
Other innovative programs include the Hand and Wrist Clinic, Women's Wellness Programs, and the Cancer Support Treatment Program. Our Executive Director and practitioners coordinate all complementary medicine programs with Western providers as needed.
