Dr. Jessica Chen is a Board Licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist with a speciality degree in women’s health and reproduction.

Originally from Taipei, Taiwan, Dr. Chen grew up with a strong herbal tradition — her mother often used medicinal herbs in seasonal dishes when preparing the family’s daily meals. As a result, Dr. Chen continued studying the healing properties of food and plants, a journey that eventually led her to devote 12 years to practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine at the prestigious Tao of Wellness in Santa Monica, California. In 2017, Dr. Chen left to start her own practice where she offers herbal medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, cupping and facial rejuvenation among many other services.
