About Us
Roxanne
Chan, L.Ac., MS TCM, 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 the field of nursing.
Her first experiences on a gastro-intestinal medicine 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 to 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 9 years.

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.
