Chenzen Wellness Centre

Chenzen Wellness Centre is a Kingston, Canberra practice focused on acupuncture and Chinese medicine, led by Dr Qiang Chen. The website presents acupuncture as a way to support people dealing with pain, low energy and emotional wellbeing, with information also covering stress, sleep and anxiety. It is a suitable option for people looking for an individual appointment with a registered practitioner rather than a general fitness or beauty service.

Dr Chen has worked in Chinese medicine for more than 30 years. He is described as a National Board registered acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner, with qualifications from Zhejiang College of Chinese Medicine in China and the University of New England in Australia, as well as anatomical acupuncture training through the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. His experience also includes establishing Chinese medicine practices in the United Arab Emirates and China.

The centre also offers Tai Chi classes in Canberra, with an emphasis on mindfulness, balance and core strength. Dr Chen has taught Tai Chi as part of his Chinese medicine practice for more than 30 years. For people interested in learning more between appointments, his book, The Energy Book, shares practical methods influenced by Chinese medicine philosophy and is also available as an audiobook. The site includes educational articles about acupuncture, energy, fatigue and what people may experience after treatment, giving prospective clients useful background before they visit.
