Hello — I’m Dr. Cristina Fang, a Taiwan-licensed TCM physician practicing at the intersection of classical Chinese medicine and modern clinical reasoning. I see women for skin, sleep, and hormones, read together as one pattern. I currently practice in Tainan; a Bay Area clinic is planned for late 2028 / early 2029, and this site is a place to follow the work as it builds.
I’m Dr. Cristina Fang, a Taiwan-licensed TCM physician. I trained at Chang Gung University in both Western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I practice at 蒔見中醫東橋院 in Tainan, where I have practiced since 2024. I specialize in facial acupuncture and women’s health, with a whole-person approach shaped by foundational coursework from the Institute for Functional Medicine.

My Philosophy
As a TCM physician, I believe beauty and wellness begin from within — not in a flashy treatment, but in digestion, hormones, emotions, and sleep. Skin, sleep, and hormones are rarely three separate problems; they are usually one pattern showing up in three places. The work isn’t about chasing perfection; it’s about helping your body return to balance, supporting your skin and your system from the inside out, using methods that have stood the test of time.
Who I Work With
Most clients who find their way to my practice are women in their 30s to 50s — professionals, creatives, teachers, mothers — looking for natural care for their face and body. Many begin with facial acupuncture and integrate women’s health TCM care and whole-person care as the relationship deepens. They want clear communication in English or Mandarin, and a physician who respects both Eastern and Western views of health.

Whether you’re preparing your body for a big transition (like fertility or menopause), or just want to feel a little more energized, radiant, and calm — you’re welcome here.
A Practice Between Cultures
I practice as a TCM physician in Taiwan and am building toward a future integrative clinic in the Bay Area, USA — a space where women can access whole-body, cycle-aware, stress-aware care across both Eastern and Western medical frames. (For readers new to TCM as a clinical category, the NIH NCCIH overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the cleanest English-language introduction to its scope and evidence base.)
This site, this work, and this journey are all part of that vision.
CURRENTLY PRACTICING IN TAINAN
The Bay Area in-person practice is planned for late 2028 / early 2029; this site currently offers information only. Until then, all in-person clinical work — facial acupuncture and women’s health TCM — happens in Tainan: at 蒔見中醫東橋院 (東橋), and by appointment on Wednesday afternoons at the 安平 (特約) clinic.
The clinic is by-appointment-only — boutique-medical, pattern-based care, not walk-in.
If you read primarily in Mandarin and want details on current bookings, see the Tainan practice page. If you read primarily in English and want to follow the work as the Bay Area practice approaches, join the email list for seasonal letters and updates.
