Dr. Stella Wong begins by looking. Before a needle is placed, before a hand is laid anywhere, she analyses how you stand, how you breathe, and where your body has quietly organised itself around an old ache. “We must first see and understand the cause to find the solution.” Is the sentence she returns to most often, and it sets the tone of everything that follows.
She is a second-generation Chinese medicine practitioner, raised inside a family legacy in the healing arts. Her training took her to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, where she studied under one of China’s National Masters 國醫大師 Hu Yaobang 胡耀邦, and then to a Doctorate at the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, where her research focused on depression and mental disorders. She has led national clinical studies on Major Depressive Disorder under the supervision of the faculty Dean, Prof. Zhang ZJ.
Her practice sits in two disciplines at once. From Professor Lin Liang Chuan 林兩傳, a Taiwanese physician licensed in both Chinese and Western medicine, she learned Structural Myofascia Therapy: the understanding that the body’s three-dimensional network of fascia is so densely connected that a change in tension anywhere is felt everywhere. She does not chase the painful part. She restores the structure that allowed the pain to settle there, which is why migraines of ten years and pain that no other specialist could name often begin to loosen under her hands. This is the Chinese medicine Hong Kong grew up with, read through a modern research lens.
Patients tend to describe the same thing afterwards: they finally understand what is happening inside their own body. Dr. Stella sets a hypothesis with you, agrees on what you will both measure, and adjusts as the results come in, treating your feedback as evidence rather than small talk. Years of working alongside Western medicine doctors have made her precise about what Chinese medicine can and cannot do, and generous with the explanation. She would rather you leave able to read your own body than dependent on her to read it for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
In more places than most people realise. The public health care system runs subsidised services out of eighteen district clinics, and beyond them sit private practices and holistic centres like Balance Health in Central. What tends to differ is not the medicine but the time given to it. Dr. Stella’s first consultation runs long, because the diagnosis lives in the detail.
Dr. Stella works most often with chronic pain, migraine, depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia, alongside dementia, obsessive compulsive disorder and other neurological and mental health presentations. This medicine has always been as much about disease prevention as about repair, so many people come before anything has a name, simply because they no longer feel like themselves.
Anything the body is holding as a pattern rather than an incident: persistent pain, cycles, sleep, digestion, mood. Chinese medicine practitioners read the whole system, which is why a decade of migraines and a decade of broken sleep are often one conversation rather than two.
The public system here is built for volume, with a Chinese Medicine Clinic cum Training and Research Centre in each district and a dedicated hospital behind them. It does that job well. We are a holistic centre rather than a hospital, and most Chinese medicine clinics will treat the complaint you arrive with. Dr. Stella treats the structure underneath it, and she will tell you plainly when Western medicine is the better first call.
Only if your pattern calls for it. Where a formula is right for you it is written for you, then dispensed through a registered Chinese medicine pharmacy. You will know what is in it before it leaves the pharmacy, and why each herb is there.
Customer Testimonials
Real Stories, Real Results
Thanks to Judy’s expertise, I feel reinvigorated, focused, and ready to tackle the demands of leadership with a new mindset. Her guidance helped me re-center, not just to perform as a CEO, but to do so while feeling balanced, energized, and healthier than before.
After an incredibly busy year and the sale of two companies I co-founded, tension took a toll on my focus, energy, and health. That’s when I turned to Judy from Balance Health Hong Kong. Her one-on-one coaching, paired with a transformative retreat experience, brought a profound change that I truly didn’t expect.
I’m beyond grateful for her support—it’s been a game-changer and has made all the difference in navigating this new chapter at full capacity. Thank you, Judy, for this powerful transformation!
– Tuomas Kauppinen, President and CEO, Edunation Finland, Global Education Leader
Judy has transformed my life through her exceptional coaching. She helped me discover that life’s challenges – in marriage, business, or personal growth – are opportunities for inner development.
Her most powerful lesson: when I focus on self-awareness and personal growth, external problems often resolve naturally.
Through her guidance, I’ve learned that true self-care isn’t selfish but essential for being present for others. She taught me to look within during difficulties instead of fixating on external circumstances, revolutionizing both my personal relationships and business leadership.
Judy doesn’t lecture; she guides you to unlock your own wisdom. Whether you’re looking to grow as a spouse, parent, or business leader, her coaching creates lasting positive change. Thank you, Judy, for teaching me the true meaning of joy, self-love, and manifestation.
– Sincere Wong
Judy has deep understanding of Eastern teachings that has allowed me to make leaps in self development after years of much smaller and predictable steps.
“As someone with four decades of venture capital and private equity investing and a top-level MBA, the multitude of self-improvement and business leadership coaches, seminars, and books have been floating by me without much new learning. Various psychologists also failed to make a lasting impact. Then I met Judy. She is a most remarkable person and has become immensely valuable to me. She is sharp, insightful, and an excellent communicator with a wide range of tools at her disposal to enable her clients to recognize and decompose unconstructive patterns and return to an inner balance from which one is free to make decisions unencumbered by inflexibly held beliefs and assumptions. Especially for those of us raised in Western thought and values, her deep understanding of Eastern teachings is an eye-opening experience that has allowed me to make leaps in self-development after years of much smaller and predictable steps. I highly recommend Judy to anyone looking for new dimensions of personal growth.”
– Peter Schober, Search Fund Investor & Managing Partner
Over the years Judy has become one of the most important thinking partners of mine who combines beautifully the spiritual coaching. She is a trusted coach that I work as I navigate not only my career, but really my life: my life as a human, as a mother, as an executive, an entrepreneur.
“Judy has a unique ability to provide guidance and advice that are both spiritually and materially meaningful.
She has impeccable timing, and she has this ability to determine the best way to approach the questions I bring to her depending on the situation I am in. When she sees that I need to focus exclusively on a professional situation, she’d bring the executive coach to the table. Once I was having a problem closing a difficult decision that I needed to make, she intuitively countered my decision on every angle so that I could come out of our session with a full appreciation that I have covered all grounds. That was exactly what I needed.
Most of the time though, our session would consist of a beautiful combination of both the spiritual and the material perspective – something that I have come to appreciate the most about Judy.
I came to Judy back in early 2020 with the intention of finding a thinking partner as I navigate my career. I still work with Judy today. To me, she is a trusted coach that I work with as I navigate not only my career, but really my life: my life as a human, as a mother, as an executive, an entrepreneur and as all the roles that I came to be from time to time.”
– Nancy Yu
I highly recommend Judy if you want to evolve from being an unhealthy achiever to a healthy achiever who creates powerfully.
“Transformative is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Judy Xu. From the moment that I met Judy six months ago in a brief, chance meeting I knew that I wanted to get to know her better. She subsequently became my executive coach. Judy ably helps me gain clarity at the strategic level and then swiftly and gently guides me to dig deep to do the transformative work that is needed for me to have the sustained positive impact that I desire. I highly recommend Judy if you want to evolve from being an unhealthy achiever to a healthy achiever who creates powerfully.”
-Angela
Thank you so much, Judy! 🧡❤️ I highly recommend her to anyone looking to confront their issues and develop personally. Joining her sessions has been the best decision for my growth.
I first met Judy in 2022, and from our initial sessions and the Mental Fitness program , I experienced a transformative journey. For the first time, I connected with my inner child, which significantly boosted my confidence and inspired me to pursue my dreams.
By mid-2024, I recognized a similar pattern in my intimate relationships—insecurities and judgments that kept repeating. I decided to work with Judy again to work on these issues at a deeper level. I chose her because her practical and powerful approach to personal development stood out, especially compared to my previous ten years of experiences with other psychologists.
After four months of dedicated work with Judy, I can confidently affirm that my initial belief in her methods was absolutely correct. Throughout this time, I gained a deeper understanding of my life patterns, which was crucial for breaking free from them. Each session laid the groundwork for self-love and self-valuation, helping me address conflicts rooted in my childhood and past experiences.
Recently, Judy guided me through a transformational breathwork session, where I confronted my deepest fears and healed my inner child. Though challenging, this experience was invaluable. I felt a profound sense of liberation as I merged with my inner child, allowing me to live more freely and confidently each day. While I’m still at the beginning of my self-acceptance journey, I believe I will continue to grow stronger in facing future challenges.

I am very glad to have had the chance to be coached by Judy
“I am very glad to have had the chance to be coached by Judy, she has a unique style of holding one’s space and enabling the person to feel at ease to open up and dig deeper on what can be holding him back. She then helped me to reframe the negative beliefs that have been pretty much written in my subconscious as a software. With her gentle and charming style, she then helped me to gain clarity and vision on my next short term and long term steps. I highly recommend Judy to busy business professionals who have a need to slow down and gain focus and clarity on their life goals.”
-Laurent Kabbabe
Booking an appointment with Judy was one of the best decisions I made this year, her life mentoring and numerology session was enlightening, reaffirming, and inspiring
“Booking an appointment with Judy was one of the best decisions I made this year, her life mentoring and numerology session was enlightening, reaffirming, and inspiring. She helped give me clarity with some personal and professional decisions I needed to address, and truly empowered me to come to my own conclusions regarding these difficult choices. As a healthcare provider myself, I have extensive training in counseling as well as significant experience with wellness coaches, astrologers, psychotherapists, mentors, etc.—and I can highly recommend Judy as a practitioner as her guidance is truly invaluable. I have already referred numerous friends and family to her, and continue to recommend my own patients to consult with Judy. She is a gifted health coach and mentor, so if you are feeling a bit stagnant in your life, are facing some difficult decisions, or are just in need of some gentle guidance to continue being the best version of yourself—then I would warmly suggest you schedule a session with Judy without any further delay!”
-Aaron Bullington
I highly recommend anyone who is seeking clarification on their life’s journey to have a session with Judy
“I had an akashic reading with Judy and I find her to be clear in the symbols and messages that come through her. Her guidance was relevant to my situation and confirmed my deeper knowing of what holds true. I highly recommend anyone who is seeking clarification on their life’s journey to have a session with Judy. Sometimes it can be comforting to gain some insight on the way ;-)”
-Linda
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my akashic record.
“Thank you for achieving such a clear mind and spirit in order to being able to get in contact with the masters and to receive these messages. The message of my master vibrates wonderfully within me and gives me higher orientation. Everything feels clearer now – my being, my path, my reason in this world, my to-dos and to-bes. Thank you so much.”
-Marit Müller
I highly recommend her as a coach for anyone who is pursuing more tranquillity in their life.
“Judy is the first coach I have that opened my mind about what coaching is. She has substantial experience and in-depth knowledge in the areas of wellbeing and mindfulness. With the help of her coaching, I was able to freely explore my thoughts, clarify my core values, and create essential insights about myself. I highly recommend her as a coach for anyone who is pursuing more tranquillity in their life.”
-Mindy,Hongmin Luo
I highly recommend Judy to anyone seeking assistance with their career progression, enhancing relationships, change management, and desire to tap into their truest potential.
“In my time getting to know and working with Mrs. Judy Xu as a life and career coach, I’ve learned what it takes to grow as a human being and an aspiring leader. Throughout the last three years, Judy has helped me to develop spiritually and emotionally in my journey toward seeking ultimate peace. We hear about ‘natural-born’ leaders through our entire lives, the importance of having a great IQ and strong work ethic to find happiness, and the societally defined path of personal and professional success. Judy’s distinct approach of uncovering the deepest truths, pains, and doubts is the foundation for her guiding principles. Judy has coached me through several key phases of my professional career, including leadership style, alternate forms of effective communication, emotional intelligence, and passion alignment. Personally, we’ve tackled all angles. She tends to remind me in our sessions the significance of slowing down, observing myself and my surroundings more carefully, and spending time and energy on the things that bring me the most joy. Judy is very personable and has the skills to quickly connect with people she encounters; an active listener, she absorbs the information shared and has the ability to seamlessly bring it back to the general objective for the session at hand. I highly recommend Judy to anyone seeking assistance with their career progression, enhancing relationships, change management, and desire to tap into their truest potential.”
-Evan Tate
“To anyone who wants to be a better version of themselves, book the exploratory session with Judy!”
“I have been blessed to be surrounded by people smarter and wiser than me- all offering great advice and direction to my problems. Somehow, I have still found it difficult to push past those obstacles. Yet describing the same topics and the same problems to Judy, I have instead been able to achieve breakthrough after breakthrough from our coaching sessions.”
Judy has given me the space to dig deep and fundamentally change the way I view my relationship and my work. I look forward to our future sessions together to further my aspirations to make a bigger and more positive impact in my community. To anyone who wants to be a better version of themselves, book the exploratory session with Judy!
-Benson
“I joined Judy’s workshop “practical birthdate numerology” at the wonderfruit festival and booked my “Spark Your Life” coaching right away. This form of numerology is new to me and resonates on a deep level. Judy guided me in detail through my chart which gave me great insights about the past, present and future. It has helped me to gain more clarity in a very uncertain period of my life. Looking forward to continue my work and dig deeper.”
-Luisa
“My Spark your Life session with Judy was truly eye opening. It helped me map out where to focus my attention and energy and also figure out the beliefs and blockages that are standing in my way. Judy is warm, insightful and intuitive. I loved my session and highly recommend this experience!”
