Acupuncturist

Angela is a licensed and board certified acupuncturist. She completed her master’s degree in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine at Texas Health and Science University in Austin, Texas. In her undergraduate years as an Asian Studies major, she spent a term in China where she was first exposed to food as medicine and the curative properties of herbs. She observed how the culture embraces health principles through many facets of life which she now knows to be the pillars of Chinese medicine: diet, connection with nature, meditation, exercise, acupuncture and herbal treatments.

Later in life, through questions regarding her own health, she began working with an acupuncturist. Angela’s treatments as a patient made such an impact on her that she decided to learn how to practice this medical system and give her time to others seeking their own health answers.

Working with patients is a joy for Angela. Through reestablishing health by alleviating pain, restoring mental health and balancing emotions, she has seen patients regain parts of themselves to live fuller, more enriching lives. Angela is a general practitioner and her areas of interest include chronic and complex conditions, pain management, autoimmune support, mental and emotional health, pregnancy support, menopause support, migraines, and allergies.

Acupuncturist

Bing Wang is a Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) and Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) in Maryland. Bing graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, which is one of the most prestigious universities of traditional Chinese Medicine. He holds the Medical Bachelor degree of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Doctor degree of Integrative Medicine. Bing is also certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in the United States.

He previously worked as an acupuncturist in China, and then he was funded and completed some medical research projects in Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins Hospital. For the past few years, Bing has been working as a physician assistant in GBMC and Franklin Square Hospital, and an acupuncturist as well.

Bing’s education and experience in both oriental and western medicine are unique and exceptional, which benefits his practice and provides the advanced acupuncture care for his patients. He believes regaining the balance and harmony of Yin & Yang is the key to get rid of exogenous pathogenic factors, stimulate the inner energy to adjust the excessive or deficiency of the body and promote recovery from diseases. Bing’s belief is that “To every patient, every time, you will provide the care that you would want for your own loved ones.”

Lakan Ubaya is a Maryland State Board-licensed acupuncturist, certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). He earned his master’s in acupuncture and East Asian medicine at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine, a rigorous school that emphasized hands-on clinical education from day one. He is trained in other modalities, such as Chinese herbal medicine, qi gong, and tui na (Chinese bodywork). He is certified in Hilot, his ancestral medicine, by the Hilot Academy of Binabaylan in the Philippines.

Lakan Ubaya’s journey into acupuncture started as a patient in a community clinic struggling with severe burnout and multiple health complications from a nonprofit job. This experience radically transformed his life and brought him to his silbi (path). His treatment style is informed by his lived experience as an AuDHD, queer, trans person of the global majority. He believes medicine can be truly transformative if it is approached with the whole of a person in mind (more than mind body!), a collaboration to create new and better realities.

Although Lakan Ubaya is more of a generalist, he is comfortable treating a wide variety of conditions. He has extensive experience working with folks seeking support for POTS, nervous system imbalances, hyper-mobile disorders, gender-affirming surgery recovery, and HRT side effects.

Integrative Nutritionist

Anabel graduated with a Masters in Integrative Clinical Nutrition from the Maryland University of Integrative Health in August 2018. She is a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) as well as a Licensed Dietician Nutritionist (LDN).

Anabel works collaboratively with her clients to identify dietary changes that are manageable, recognizing that incremental changes that can be fully integrated into the client’s life are the most sustainable. She believes that although food is extremely important to health, stress management, exercise and sleep are also important issues that need to be addressed. She does not believe in one size fits all but rather that each client has different needs and she tailors each counseling session accordingly.

Anabel firmly believes that food can be therapeutic in the treatment of almost all common diseases affecting our society today. From weight loss to diabetes to autoimmune diseases, diet and lifestyle changes can have a profound effect on the body and contribute to optimal health.
