I was recommended Michelle as a serious bout of “pulsative tinnitus” was driving me to despair..
I was skeptical after the first visit so the improvement after the second visit was all the more palpable. With Michelle’s help it has now gone completely and I visit for “maintenance.” I couldn’t recommend her more highly, both in terms of her expertise and her sincerity and diligence. This applies to the acupuncture treatment and the herbal remedies. It really is a pleasure and wholly deserved.

Dr. Michelle is such a gift. I have been seeing her for over a year focusing on mental / emotional health, and can’t begin to say how much she has helped me. In addition to being very caring and empathetic, she is also such an effective practitioner. I’ve always felt comfortable with the plan for each session, which it’s clear she puts a lot of thought into, and have noticed the difference after individual sessions and the course of this year. If anyone is considering acupuncture for non-physical injuries (or acupuncture in general), I can’t recommend her enough.

Dr. Zhang’s prescription was very considerate and comprehensive
I remembered the first time I came to Dr. Zhang, I was driven by her prescription for my husband. My father was a TCM doctor as well, so I had some knowledge about herbs. And Dr. Zhang’s prescription was very considerate and comprehensive. I have been visiting a lot of doctors due to my sub-health status, and recurrent urinary tract infection has taken me to suffer for many years. I’m quite afraid to see new doctors if I do not have enough faith in them. However, Dr. Zhang is a big surprise! Her medicine did help me a lot. She is such a caring doctor that she always tries her best to take care of my body in a tender way. My damp-heat syndrome gets controlled after 1 week of TCM herbs. I feel grateful to be her patient, and I really enjoy our meetings during each consultation. I think she is a gifted TCM doctor. Although she is much younger than me, her passion and maturity always enlighten me and bring me comfort.

Dr. Zhang is a professional and patient doctor
Dr. Zhang is a professional and patient doctor. I went to see Doctor Zhang because of gastrointestinal discomfort during the summer (the humidity weather really bothered me). In the whole process, she carefully asked me about my condition, gently did the examination, and gave me a convincing diagnosis. After prescribing the medicine for me, she patiently explained the precautions for taking the medicine, and how did the herbs help me. I remembered I got better very soon after drinking the herbs for 2 days, and she followed up my situation until I got fully recovered.

I went to Michelle for GuaSha and acupuncture treatment. Unlike my previous experience, this time was not so painful.
I was suffering from cervical spondylosis for quite a long time. I could not sleep well at the night, when I wake up in the morning, I feel like the spine was very tight and uncomfortable. And Occasionally I felt a stabbing pain in the spine. I went to Michelle for GuaSha and acupuncture treatment. Unlike my previous experience, this time was not so painful. After the treatment, I could see my skins on rear neck, shoulder and back become dark red. I felt like my spine was relaxed, no more pains and tensions, and I slept very well during that week.

Michelle has a beautiful, calm presence. I left feeling both rested and energised.
I consulted with Michelle about chronic pain on my left shoulder. I originally came, expecting an in-and-out cupping treatment. However the consultation was a lot more thorough, starting off with a body type analysis, followed by very specific questions about my lifestyle. I felt that Michelle took time to understand not only the pain, itself, but the energetic imbalances that could be causing it. I ended up agreeing to acupuncture, supplemented by heating lamps and a singing bowl therapy. Afterwards, Michelle prepared a herbal tea specifically targeted toward my TCM body type. Michelle has a beautiful, calm presence. I left feeling both rested and energised.

Michelle approaches with curiosity, warmth and made me feel comfortable immediately
I would highly recommend Michelle. I tend to lose focus when a doctor is using terms I may not be familiar with… however Michelle approaches with curiosity, warmth and made me feel comfortable immediately.
During the cupping and acupuncture session she was very detailed and again made me feel comfortable with her thorough guidance.
She also recommended some Chinese herbs to help with my sleep which is also a contributing factor to my injuries.
Everyone at Balance Health is friendly and welcoming… it can be intimidating coming to a place like this for the first time but the team do a great job as soon as you step in the doors.

I came to Balance Health because I wanted to treat my anxiety and insomnia. Through a combination of acupuncture and counseling, Dr. Zhang helped me realign my mind and body so that they could nourish each other again. With this new understanding, I have not only been restored to myself, but also been given tools and advice on how to continue my wellness journey. I’m forever grateful to Michelle.

Seeing Dr Michelle was a turning point for me and after only one treatment I felt significantly better.
I first started seeing Dr Michelle when I wasn’t feeling great after living in Hong Kong for 4 years and the stress of the lifestyle had just left me feeling exhausted. Seeing Dr Michelle was a turning point for me and after only one treatment I felt significantly better and then I had a series of regular treatments with her because her work is so nurturing plus now I have had the energy to restore my health after her treatments.

I had a great experience working with Dr. Michelle
I had a great experience working with Dr. Michelle, she took time to assess my condition in details, explaining me step by step and doing a proper follow up at every session. I found her easy to talk with, a good listener and of course she has a magic hand: never an acupuncture session has been so pleasant! I would definitively go back to her when in need and I highly recommend her.

Ive been suffering from allergies and asthma attacks since childhood. I’m super happy that I had a body type consultation with Dr Michelle Zhang. I now understand how I can live healthier. I now know which food is suited for my health and which food to avoid to keep my body stronger.

Dr Michelle is very warm. She is so approachable that you will be able to express yourself well and be open about your overall health concerns during a consultation with her. Im glad that I met her. She is a great TCM doctor, confident and knowledgeable in her field.

Thanks Dr Michelle!!!

I would definitely recommend this clinic. Recently I had some shoulder pain and poor sleep quality. Dr. Michelle Zhang patiently explained the possible causes after inquiring about my symptoms. After the acupuncture treatment, the stiffness was relieved, It was really amazing. I will make another appointment in the near future and strongly recommend her if you are facing similar problems!

I came here for irregular menstruation issue. After TCM consultation with Dr. Michelle, I’ve been taking 2 months of Chinese meds, and my period problem is really improved. And she is very patient, kind, and sweet (like I don’t feel any of the anxiety that I used to have in my past doctor visits). Ohhh and she advised me some Chinese med food diet, based on my body constitution, it was my first time knowing that. Pretty interesting to integrate it in my daily life!

I was attended and taken good care of by Dr. Michelle Zhang. From time to time, I was struggling with the pain on my neck and lower back, so I planned to try some traditional Chinese medicine treatments.

Dr. Michelle Zhang was patiently listening to my problems and explained the treatment in details. I did some acupuncture treatments before, however, this time Dr. Michelle Zhang incorporated the cupping treatment to mitigate my lower back pain. The entire treatment lasted almost one hour and went quite well.

P.S. The view in the treatment room is fabulous.

The clinic was a lovely space, very welcoming and clean and I felt very well looked after from the moment I arrived. There was a set of shorts and a top to change and you were being covered up during the treatment. The acupuncture was amazing, hard work at times because of the release of tension but completely worth it.

I think that to be a great healer, a person must have the right intentions and skills. It was my experience that Dr. Michelle has both in abundance. This was one of the most effective treatments I have ever had. Dr. Michelle was really in tune with my body responses and very respectful of me throughout.

I came away feeling amazing, and even thinking about and remembering the treatment brings back some of the positive impacts. If you are looking for an excellent health-giving treatment, as opposed to a soft spa-type experience I would highly recommend this clinic.

Dr. Michelle is an excellent doctor and acupuncturist. She put her skills and expertise to work helping me with a nerve problem. Thanks to her, my numbness decreased and my quality of life increased.

My friend recommended to undergo acupuncture treatment. This time, Dr. Michelle helped me with acupuncture treatment. It was mainly because my friend’s skin looked better after 3 acupuncture treatments. So I decided to give it a try this time. She was very patient and friendly and the process was not paintful. It was very Good.

I visited dr Michelle feeling very stressed and exhausted after an overwhelming end of the year. I loved that she took the time to introduce key elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine to me and explain some easy actions I can take to live a more balanced lifestyle, in line with my body type. The cupping treatment she recommend was a bit hard for me to enjoy as my body was literally all nerves but I left the cabinet feeling calm and energised like I haven’t felt in a few weeks. Would 100% visit her again

Although a Chinese native, I stayed away from Traditional Chinese Medicine for 2 decades after moving overseas. Having been suffered from ongoing stomachache & indigestion for weeks and seeking a holistic approach to treat illness, I found Balance Health.

Just as their name states, TCM doctor Michelle, together with Sufism healer Hafsa helped me to restore my physical and emotional balance quickly. My stomachache went away the day after first acupuncture session with Michelle. With the Chinese Medicine prescribed, my PMS symptom also relieved along with indigestion.

Hafsa is compassionate, intuitive and kind to hold a safe space for me, I felt so much lightness and peace in me after the healing session.

The receptionists at balance health are lovely and helpful. You would have a chance to use “The treatment room with the best view” I call if you pay a visit to balance health.
