Blueberry Gardens Healing Center News | July 2026

Welcome Yangyi Chen!


We are excited to welcome acupuncturist Yangyi Chen to Blueberry Gardens. See below to learn more about him and all that we have to offer this summer at Blueberry Gardens.

Acupuncturist Yangyi Chen

As a practitioner, I treat each person as a dynamic being connected to the larger picture. I treat one person at a time and stay with the patient, applying several rounds of therapeutic actions over one appointment. I stay curious about what is most effective for each patient and use that as a leverage to help them “get unstuck” and feel more like themselves again.


I received my BA from St. Mary's College of Maryland and my Doctorate of Oriental Medicine from Maryland University of Integrative Medicine, foremerly Tai Sophia, where I studied Five Elements Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. I apprenticed with Deborah Earley of Earley Wellness Group and learned specialization in treating patients with chronic pain. I also studied trauma healing with Alaine D. Duncan in her Tao of Trauma program.


Outside of my practice, I love spending time in nature with my wife and baby.

Classes at Blueberry Gardens


Yoga


Yoga is an ancient spiritual practice that supports our desire for physical and mental health and spiritual harmony. Hatha yoga is the yoga that focuses more on physical well-being and helping to bring our bodies into balance using breathing, relaxation and body awareness through yoga asanas, or postures. More than a physical exercise, yoga encompasses mindfulness, concentration, and mental awareness in a non-competitive environment. Anyone can do yoga at a pace that is appropriate for them.
