Dr. Chen is a Master of natural energy healing and an evidence-based integrative health practitioner. While practicing under his father in Taiwan, he has helped many people with both their physical and mental problems through the natural energy practices of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. His approach to healing has always been one of “helping people to help themselves”. His methods of Tai Chi Qi Gong Guiding Treatment and Acupuncture usually help rid people of their pain or illness pretty quickly; however, once patients are feeling better, he encourages them to practice Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Meditation in order to prevent illness in the future. He believes that there is no better healing mechanism than our own bodies, and that it is very important for us to take more control of our own health.
Dr. Chen started his Tai Chi and Qi Gong practice at the age of five under the instruction of his father (Grand Tai Chi Master CK Chen) in Taiwan. Since then, has amassed over 30 years of experience in Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Qi guided healing practice, and has more than 25 years of experience in teaching Tai Chi and Qi Gong. He was named the international champion of both individual 37 Tai Chi Form and Tai Chi Push Hand (Detail please see Median Chen’s Tai Chi Awards & Honors here).
In Taiwan, Dr. Chen assisted his father and Taiwanese residents at the Ru Yu Tai Chi School. In his time at the school, he was able to help hundreds of people with all kinds of health problems. He has followed his father in promoting a “Do not occupy a hospital bed movement”, giving the bed to the people who really need it, for more than a decade.
Dr. Chen got his Master’s degree in Physical Education, Health, and Leisure in Taiwan in 2008. After that, he made his voyage to the United States in 2008 to continue pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Sport Management. While he was working on his Ph. D., Kuan also graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture, NESA, (the oldest school of acupuncture and oriental medicine in the US), earning a Master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) and also a Mass board of Medicine certification as a licensed acupuncturist in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Dr. Chen earned his Doctoral degree in Doctor of Acupuncture and Integrative Health (DAIH) from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Science (MCPHS) in May 2019.
In addition to his unique family healing techniques, Dr. Chen also incorporates the Tung style of acupuncture.
Moreover, Dr. Chen has trained extensively, under (Master Lin Xian Zhang) in specialized Chinese Feng Shui and the Four Pillars of Destiny technique. For years he helped people in Taiwan improve their homes' energy, or (Qi) circulation, in order to create a better environment for a family to live in.

Lalou Begue
Licensed acupuncturist and herbalist
I became interested in natural healing techniques a long time ago. Considering the potential side effects of medicines commonly prescribed, I thought it worthwhile to study alternative methods of healing. Initially, I trained in Shiatsu and Massage Therapy, I graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture in 1984. My post-graduate studies involved extensive training in Chinese Herbal Medicine.
In 1993, I was fortunate enough to receive further training in Beijing and witnessed Herbal Doctors prescribe remedies in several hospitals there.
I have been the director of the Acupuncture and Herbal Clinic in Beverly, MA, since 1984. I recently became an Acupuncturist on Staff at the Complementary Care Center at the Health Alliance Hospital in Fitchburg, MA. At this location, I treat patients at the cancer center for side effects of cancer treatments and various symptoms associated with cancer. In 2011, I became an instructor for “AcuPracticeSeminars”, a 200 hour-long certification course for Chiropractors and Physicians seeking training in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Over her 38 years of private practice, her treatment protocol has been: first to diagnose using Traditional Chinese Medicine, then if indicated, tap into other techniques necessary to achieve a positive outcome for the patient. She advocates a mind/body/spirit (energetic) approach and believes most issues or patterns are due to stagnation. Moving that blocked Qi opens the pathways and allows the body’s naturally designed and miraculously functioning ability to balance and heal.
In addition to her practice, she has organized and operated an outpatient detox program using NADA protocol, operated a free community acupuncture service for Vets, lectured extensively in hospitals, schools, and other public venues, developed and taught a multi-modality program for chronic pain (COPE) and published a workbook on EFT called “Breaking Through to a Better YOU!”

Claudia Caldas
Licensed acupuncturist and herbalist
As a mother, educator, and nurse assistant, I have cultivated my life to serve with love and empathy. Mahatma Gandhi once said “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” I believe that everything can change and become better when we are part of the healing process.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine came into my life when I was battling stress, muscular-skeletal pain, a weak immune system, and allergies. I turned to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to fight those “irreversible” conditions and discovered them to be very effective. The experience inspired me to pursue a master's degree in acupuncture and herbal medicine at the New England School of Acupuncture at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. My clinic experience includes helping patients strengthen their bodies to fight diseases related to colds, fatigue, headaches, stress, irritability, PMS, allergies, weak immune systems, arthritis, eye problems, skin problems, and digestive issues.
My love for healing grew from seeing how TCM brings comfort, relief, and strength to patients. As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I help my patients understand that TCM treatments and herbal medicine can aid in healing, as well as prevent diseases and flare-ups of chronic conditions. With great care and compassion, I look forward to helping my patients achieve stronger and healthier versions of themselves and improve their quality of life.

Margaretta (Beth) Sangree
Licensed acupuncturist
I come from a background of working in human services, and massage therapy. I first became interested in Acupuncture after struggling for several years with a painful and exhausting chronic illness. Mainstream Western Medicine gave only partial relief, and Acupuncture proved to be the missing link in regaining my health. I was so impressed that I wanted to learn more about it, and I subsequently embarked upon a new career, supporting others to achieve greater health and wellness.
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist certified by the US National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). I obtained my training from the New England School of Acupuncture, graduating in 2010. In addition to an MA degree in Acupuncture, I have additional training in Orthopedic Acupuncture techniques, and I have completed Craniosacral training levels 1 and 2 at the Upledger Institute. Prior to becoming an Acupuncturist, I was a licensed massage therapist, trained in both Eastern and Western massage and myofascial release techniques. Where appropriate, I often combine these approaches with Acupuncture to increase the effectiveness of a treatment. In addition to my Acupuncture training, I also have an MA in Pain Research, Education, and Policy from the Tufts Medical School PHPD. I feel that this academic training has enhanced my ability to work with healthcare professionals across different modalities and approaches, as well as helping me to better understand the unique difficulties and challenges that patients with chronic pain are facing.
I have experience working with clients of all ages, including infants, children, teens, and seniors. I have treated a wide variety of conditions including headache, insomnia, stress, depression, musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, skin conditions, fibromyalgia, addictions, weight loss, PTSD, neurological conditions, back pain and injuries, TMJ, tinnitus, and digestive problems. Treatments may include a variety of approaches including massage, cupping, moxibustion, craniosacral work, Acupressure, magnets, and non-insertive Acupuncture techniques. If you are afraid of needles do not worry, I can work with you to find an effective method of treatment that you are comfortable with. My aim is to help every client to become more empowered about their health, and to achieve their best health possible!

Kelly Allston
Yoga Program Manager / Reiki Master
I was first drawn to yoga as a gentle way to ease in activity after the birth of my second child in 2009. I quickly became interested in pushing myself deeper in my practice and began to notice the changes in my body but, also in my mind. Yoga was truly connecting my mind, body, and spirit. Being a stay at
home mom with two children under two I craved the quiet I felt in my spirit after a class. I fell into a very dedicated home practice. Yoga was something I couldn’t keep to myself I needed to share it and also help people build this amazing connection in their lives as well. I have been honored to teach my students in many styles of yoga including Vinyasa, Power, Fast paced Flow and Restorative. I am a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher and am also a Reiki Master.

Steven Fitzpatrick
Tai Chi Instructor
I first entered the Tai Chi Acupuncture and Wellness Center in 2013. The goal was to find a light, non-impact type of exercise that would reduce stress. I was curious about Tai Chi and was interested in trying it. After meeting with Master Kuan Chung Chen and discussing Tai Chi, I began taking my first basic classes. I quickly realized that the classes were exactly what I had been looking for. Balance, focus, stress relief and self awareness are some of the benefits that I have realized from Tai Chi.
I have continued practicing and studying Tai Chi under the instruction of Master Kuan Chung Chen for the past eight years. Over the years, completing multiple basic, intermediate and advanced sessions as well as continuous life practice.
Tai Chi has since become an important part of my life. Practicing the form and the basic principles provides a relaxing, self focused escape from daily life stressors. Tai Chi has played a significant role in increasing my physical and mental health, balance and all around well being.
