About Us

Founder and clinical director of Summit Acupuncture & Herbs. Raised in Chongqing, China, Ellen grew up around Traditional Chinese Medicine and a family clinic legacy of more than 30 years. Before founding Summit, she earned an MBA and worked in corporate America, but ultimately returned to the medicine that shaped her earliest understanding of healing.

At Summit, Ellen has built a clinic centered on careful listening, thoughtful diagnosis, and individualized care. She specializes in pain relief, fertility support, women’s health, digestive health, and sleep support, combining acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, Gua Sha/IASTM, and lifestyle guidance to help patients feel better, recover naturally, and rebuild trust in their bodies.
