Ethan Lu is an NCCAOM certified acupuncturist and herbalist licensed in the state of New Jersey. He graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture in 2018, where he completed the Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine tracks to earn a Masters in Oriental Medicine (MAOM).

As an Asian American with Chinese heritage, Ethan grew up with some exposure to Chinese Medicine, mostly in the form of herbal formulas as he was prone to respiratory infections as a child, as well as Zheng Gu Tui Na (bone-setting and bodywork) as sprains are somewhat common with martial arts practice. But because the medicine was seen as cultural and folk knowledge, found in Chinatowns and old kungfu movies, it would not occur to him to study it until much later.

It was not until Ethan began studying the Internal Martial Arts (primarily Xing Yi Quan) that he realized that the body sensitivity and awareness he was now developing in earnest could also be used to heal. And so, in his second year in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at UMass Boston, he dropped out and enrolled in the New England School of Acupuncture, trading one healing profession for another. He has never looked back.

Ethan considers himself a general practitioner, game for any case presented before him, but having come to the medicine from the martial arts, he has a knack for treating musculoskeletal and postural problems. And with his background in psychology, he has a soft spot for treating mental-emotional issues like depression and anxiety.
