Roxanne Chan, L.Ac. and Rebecca Duffy, L.Ac.
Roxanne Chan, L.Ac., MS TCM, Dipl. OM (NCCAOM), RN is a licensed acupuncturist
and registered nurse in the state of Alaska. Raised in North Carolina to first-generation Chinese parents, she first
started her persuit of health knowledge in Western medicine in the field of nursing. Her first experiences on a gastro-intestinal/liver/kidney
medical floor led to her interests in traditional Chinese diet and herbs. Upon traveling to mainland China she was amazed
by the breadth of application and use of acupressure and diet for health maintenance by relatives she visited in rural and urban settings. The desire
for more study in Eastern medicine and culture moved her toward the West Coast where she received her Masters in Traditional
Chinese Medicine at The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco. She is indebted to all her
professors at ACTCM, Robert Levine, L.Ac., and her teacher Eve Soldinger, L.Ac. whom she has studied various forms of healing
from over the past 8 years.
Rebecca Duffy, L.Ac., is a licensed acupuncturist who was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska.
Growing up in an athletic family, Rebecca was surrounded by health and wellness throughout most of her life.
She had always planned for a future in the health care field. As a child, she was drawn to more holistic ways
and healings in life and felt that these remedies needed a place in our modern day world. In 2001,
her older brother Luke suffered a wrestling injury which required surgery on his neck. Following surgery, the only therapy
that relieved his pain was acupuncture. It was at this time that Luke introduced Chinese medicine to Rebecca.
With a desire to heal and a passion for natural medicine, Rebecca decided to pursue her career. She graduated
with a Masters in Oriental Medicine from Northwestern Health Sciences in Bloomington, Minnesota. Rebecca returned back to
her home town in 2006 and is healing Anchorage one patient at a time.
