Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine | Licensed Acupuncturist | Certified Herbalist
Dedicated to Your Holistic Well-being
Dr. Wu is a dedicated and compassionate provider of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offering personalized, evidence-informed care that bridges ancient wisdom with modern health science.
She holds a Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) from Five Branches University, the terminal clinical degree in the field.
Dr. Wu is a licensed acupuncturist and board-certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine by the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (NCBAHM)™ (formerly NCCAOM®). This dual certification reflects her comprehensive training and commitment to delivering safe, effective, and high-quality care.
Beyond her academic credentials, Hetty has pursued advanced clinical training with respected TCM masters in both China and the U.S., with specialized study in pain management, mental health, women's health, and fertility support. She takes an individualized approach to each patient, using traditional diagnostic tools such as pulse and tongue assessment alongside a range of treatment modalities—including acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, and cupping—to create customized care plans that address each patient's unique needs.
Inspired by her father's legacy as an acupuncturist, Hetty brings warmth, empathy, and a deep commitment to treating the whole person—not just symptoms. Her prior background in law and education gives her strong communication and advocacy skills, helping patients feel heard, informed, and empowered in their health journey.
Outside the clinic, Hetty enjoys reading, hiking, and spending time in nature—practices that reflect her belief in the importance of balance and wellness in everyday life.
At our clinic, Hetty looks forward to supporting you on your path to better health, combining the timeless principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the highest standards of contemporary practice.
