Janice Mao is a truly gifted acupuncturist- we are lucky to have her on our team at Double Happiness Health. She represents the 3rd generation of Chinese Medicine Doctors in her family, raised in a traditional household where acupuncture, herbs and foods were routinely used as therapy for common ailments.
Janice has memories of observing her grandmother, who was a revered acupuncturist in New Mexico, working with patients. Seeing the impact she had on changing peoples lives gave Janice a deep respect for the medicine. Janice had a first career as a fashion and textile designer for 12 years, but she always knew she would eventually become a doctor of Chinese Medicine. She returned to school and graduated with a masters from ACTCM in 2016 and then earned a doctorate in Traditional Chinese medicine. Janice has a real love for herbal medicine and tailoring formulas for the individual. One of her favorite things about practicing Chinese Medicine is the relationships she forms with patients and making a positive difference in their lives.
The mother of a toddler, she is particularly attuned to women’s health. Janice is an expert at treating women struggling with menstrual disorders, fertility, peri-menopause and post menopause. She also has a passion for solving digestive disorders, emotional health and pain. You can find her blog posts on our site to read more about her perspective on health. Our patients love her bedside manner, gentle acupuncture style, effective herbal prescriptions- and she’s got the best laugh!
You can find Janice Mao at Double Happiness Health Tuesday and Thursday mornings 7am-12 noon.
