Acupuncturist Training in Reston, VA

Zion Acupuncture offers clinical training for acupuncturists at our Reston, VA clinic — real cases, real patients, and real clinical judgment, taught by practitioners who do this work every day.

Learn From Working Clinicians

The training is led by Dr. Ziyang Chen, founder of Zion Acupuncture — a licensed acupuncturist with 20+ years of clinical experience in China and the United States, and a professor in the acupuncture program at Virginia University of Integrative Medicine with 8+ years of graduate teaching.

Our clinic team includes licensed acupuncturist Sophia Yu, who also trained at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

What the Training Focuses On

• Clinical assessment — listening to the patient, reading the pattern, and forming a clear diagnosis.
• Treatment planning — choosing points and modalities for the condition in front of you, not from a template.
• Needling technique — safe, effective, and confident hands-on practice.
• Case-based learning — working through real patient cases, including pain, chronic conditions, and women's health.
• Documentation and insurance compliance — writing charts that hold up.

Training is built around actual clinical practice at our Reston clinic, not lectures alone.

Who It Is For

Licensed acupuncturists who want to strengthen their clinical skills, and newer practitioners building confidence with real patients.
