Nestled in the heart of Tucson, Tao Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine is more than just a wellness clinic—it’s a sanctuary where women support and uplift one another through the art of holistic healing. Founded and led by Katrina Jingya Jiang, L.Ac, Dipl. O.M., MBA, this women-led team is dedicated to providing compassionate, holistic care that nurtures both the body and mind.
Katrina didn’t set out to build a women-led practice, but she sees its more profound significance in hindsight. “Every practitioner I’ve hired has brought with her a deep, intuitive ability to care, listen, and hold space for patients. Women naturally bring a nurturing presence to the healing arts, which resonates powerfully in this field,” she explains.
As a mother, wife, and business owner, Katrina approaches wellness with a heart-centered lens. She understands women's silent burdens—balancing careers, motherhood, and personal well-being. “Becoming a mother has made me more patient, compassionate, and attuned to emotional undercurrents. I listen not just to words but to what the body is trying to say.”
A Holistic Approach to Women's Health
Tao Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine offers a range of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) modalities, including acupuncture, cupping, TuiNa massage, and herbal consultation. These therapies work synergistically to address common women’s health concerns, such as migraines, hormonal imbalances, fertility challenges, and chronic stress. “Many don’t realize how deeply stress affects the body—it amplifies pain, disrupts digestion, and even alters fertility. Our approach focuses on calming the nervous system and restoring balance,” says Katrina.
Huixiang He, L.Ac, Dipl. O.M., specializes in acupuncture and TuiNa massage, blending these techniques to support patients through pain and stress management. “Different bodies respond uniquely to acupuncture and TuiNa. For those who don’t respond as well to one, the other can provide incredible relief,” she explains.
Massage therapist C’Ne, a Reiki practitioner, further enhances the clinic’s holistic approach. “Reiki and medical massage complement each other beautifully. Reiki helps balance the body's energy flow, while massage releases muscular tension. Together, they provide both physical relief and emotional restoration,” she shares.
Women Empowering Women
Beyond the treatment room, Tao Acupuncture fosters a space of trust, safety, and empowerment. “To me, women’s empowerment means recognizing and embracing our unique strengths—and using them with purpose,” says Katrina. “Whether it’s leading with empathy, listening deeply, or balancing intuition with intellect, we celebrate the full spectrum of what it means to be a woman.”
This philosophy extends to the clinic’s patients, many busy women juggling multiple roles. Katrina encourages them to prioritize self-care without guilt. “If you don’t care for yourself, your body will eventually demand your attention. Self-care isn’t indulgent—it’s responsible. When we show up for ourselves, we show up better for everyone else.”
One particularly inspiring patient story stands out to Katrina—a woman struggling with chronic migraines and fertility challenges. “Over several months of consistent treatment, her migraines faded, and she later conceived naturally. Witnessing her transformation—both physically and emotionally—was incredibly moving.”
I have personally experienced the transformative effects of Katrina’s expertise. Her deep knowledge, compassionate approach, and skillful treatments have provided me with a level of relief I hadn’t found elsewhere. As someone deeply invested in fitness and holistic health, I’ve explored many healing modalities, but Katrina’s work stands out. Her ability to address both the physical and emotional layers of wellness is remarkable, making her practice an invaluable resource for anyone seeking true healing.
A Message for Women This Mother’s Day
With Mother’s Day approaching, Katrina and her team honor the strength and resilience of women everywhere. “We are privileged to support women at every stage of life. There’s something sacred about holding space for other women—listening to their stories, easing their pain, and guiding them toward balance,” she reflects.
Her message to women striving to maintain their health? “You are the heart of your home, your community, your world. There is only one you—irreplaceable and extraordinary. Please take care of yourself, not just for others, but for you. Because when you thrive, everything around you blossoms.”
And that is healing in its truest form.
