Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has developed over a period of at least 3,000 years. It is a holistic medicine which takes into account all of the systems of the body and how they interact with one another as well as external environmental factors. Ideally, the systems and organs function together to maintain homeostasis (a healthy balance) in the body. This interconnectedness is why a TCM practitioner can almost never treat one part, or system, without affecting the whole. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners see disease as a result of the disruption of the harmonious balance of these systems.


TCM practitioners utilize a combination of therapies including acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, massage, diet modifications and exercises. Treatments are individualized for the patient depending on their unique manifestation of a disease.

From a very young age, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in health that was both rewarding to myself and provided value to those that I served. I have many childhood memories of my father sharing stories of the patients he helped in his chiropractic practice as we sat around the dinner table. The joy he received from helping his patients was truly contagious! I began working in my father's chiropractic office as a teenager and was even more inspired by the change I witnessed in his patients on a daily basis. Observing my father in his practice taught me the importance of helping people get well with a natural and holistic approach.

At age 16 I had my first glimpse into the world of Chinese Medicine and suddenly everything seemed to fall into place. I knew that a career in Chinese Medicine was the perfect opportunity for me to provide something great to those who really needed it.

I decided to follow my dreams and completed my Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southern California's South Baylo University. I was very fortunate to study under world-renowned Acupuncturists and Medical doctors. What I found in my studies was truly life changing. Through extensive clinical training, I was taught to spend the time necessary with patients to really understand their condition and set of issues, and learned how to use ancient but effective techniques to ease pain, manage and even eliminate emotional issues, and treat many internal disorders. I have found that patients respond extremely well to this kind of clinical setting; especially those who have tried many other treatment methods but have not had successful outcomes.


It is my passion to treat virtually all conditions related to pain, various digestive issues, women’s health and fertility (for both men and women), anxiety and sleep disorders.

I am committed to educating and empowering my patients on how to take control of their health and live a more balanced lifestyle in this busy western world we live in. I truly have a love and passion for this medicine and hope to share it with anyone who crosses my path!

In late 2020, I relocated to Boise, ID with my husband and family. Though I no longer work in the Sacramento area, I am very proud of each and every practitioner that comprises our team at Better Balance. I consider them to be some of the best, most well-trained practitioners in our area. Thankfully they have graciously taken over my patient base and done an incredible job doing so. I am still here, behind the scenes to help you in any way I can.

Spring 2023 Update: I am now seeing patients in Eagle, ID. To inquire about scheduling with me, please click here.

Acupuncture has a very long history and is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Even though it has been used throughout the world for the past 5,000 years or more, it is the Chinese that have preserved, documented and scientifically scrutinized the medicine for the last 2,500 years. Acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.

Dr. Fan is simply the best healer! She also has a really big heart. My husband and I have been seeing her on and off for over 10 years now. We travel to see her, that is how much she is worth it.

I love you Dr. Fan. You are a very nice person with a big heart. I trust you so much and I am so grateful to know you and always having you to help me through my hard moments and weakness so I can improve my health. Thank you for accepting in coming to my house last year to see my mother two months before she passed to her next life because you made her feel so release and calm with a big smile on her face. I am been learning so much with you and I am so grateful to have you in my path. God bless you my friend! Thank you! Sincerely, Lissette Urbina.

Michelle is a true healer whom I am deeply indebted to for helping me maintain my good health. I have benefitted from her care since 1998. I highly recomend her, especially for your bad back . . . and any medical needs..
