What is Dan Tian?​

​“Dan Tian” is a beautiful term from the 5000-year-old Chinese Qigong and Medical traditions which perfectly embodies our philosophy.

In Chinese, the words “Dan Tian” literally means “Field of Medicine” or “Field of Elixir”. It refers to the fact that we all have the ability to create healing and medicine from within. We can cultivate our internal "field of medicine" the way a gardener tends to his/her garden. A wonderful reminder! Our bodies have powerful innate self-healing abilities, far more intelligent and elegant than any doctor’s prescribed medicine. Health is our natural state! Frequently, we find the best healing results when we simply remove the obstacles to healing and allow wellness to naturally blossom and thrive.

Anatomically, “Dan Tian” is also the Chinese name of major energy centers in the core of the body, what is know as “Chakras” in Yoga. These energy centers are thought to be major reservoirs of the body’s healing energy, and so they are strongly emphasized in traditional self-care practices like Qigong breathing meditation, Tai Chi, and Martial Arts.

Our Philosophy & Mission

At Dan Tian Wellness Trust, our mission is to support each patron in cultivating true vibrant health and wellbeing. We join each patron in addressing the root cause of dis-ease, not just masking the symptoms. Beyond healing from existing conditions, we are here to be your partner in cultivating lifelong well-being, through individualized natural medicine, lifestyle, nutrition, and self-care strategies.  We invite you to join us in this wonderful shift in paradigm, where "healthcare" is truly about caring for our health again.

What to Expect

DTW Trust offers an integrative East-West approach to healing and is known amongst patrons for superb and long-lasting results.

Your visit includes a holistic health history and consultation, a results-focused therapeutic session, and a healing plan that best suits your individual goals & needs. 

Patrons are frequently surprised to learn how much value they receive.  Acupuncture and Manual Therapy are core to each session. We may also explore your lifestyle, stress, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and Western lab work (blood tests & imaging reports). Physical exam (e.g. Orthopedic exam for sports injuries, the Chinese Medical tongue & pulse diagnosis for holistic health evaluation, etc.) gives us a well-rounded understanding of your condition.  Together, we determine the plan and strategy that best suits your individual needs. 

Beyond the consult and treatment, education is paramount. We support you in demystifying complex scientific/medical concepts into easy ways that everybody can understand. Our patrons are delighted to be empowered with knowledge to truly take charge of their own health again.
