Many acupuncturists study in the US, then go to China for a few weeks or months for a short temporary study. Our acupuncture studies are completely from China. James Chang, L.Ac has been practicing acupuncture in California since 1997, and also has a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics-Biophysics from University of California, San Diego prior to his years of study in China. James loves nature and animals and gardening.
In recent years (since 2018), I (James) find the need to address the conscious and the higher conscious mind as part of the complete process to helping people achieve their max. I am trying to educate people the importance of the mind and how it ties in to illness and being relieved of illness. As of 2024, I am in the process of developing a special Acupuncture Consciousness Technique to help people rid their issues for life with no relapse.

Preventative/Maintenance Program
How to keep you healthy to live a high quality, youthful and energy filled life. As a lifelong Chigong practitioner, this is one of my specialties. At Acupuncture Heaven, we customize your maintenance program to your personal constitution and needs. It can be as little as once per season or as many as twice per month. Younger folks can do well with seasonal maintenance, and older folks fair better with twice per month. Every month, there are two highs and two lows in the energy of the earth environment. Getting maintenance acupuncture done on or close to the two “windows” is best for effectiveness.
Preventative Maintenance also means relief from tension and stress: Because stress is the mother of numerous disorders.
Best Health Tips:
- Cultivate APPRECIATION, KINDNESS, CARE and COMPASSION into your life. As much as you can. As soon as you can.
- Be Loving and Positive: Love is what keeps you healthy and young. Be caring towards others: have lots of good friends, neighbors, associates, etc. that you care for and that care about you.
- Be happy. Live a happy life with lots of happy memories.
- Be a person authentic to your feelings and desires. Do not suppress your emotions. Understand where unhealthy emotional patterns originate from. Nurture HEALTHY expressions of feelings and desires. After you have this down, then move on to helping others.
