In pain, or feeling off when the tests say you're fine? Have it read as a whole.

We arrange two readings from China: one by a senior physician at a licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic, one by an independent practitioner. Both are done at a distance, and either stands on its own.

Hers is the classical way: the body read as a whole rather than the symptom on its own. The order matters. You have to be able to read the whole before you are any use on the part, and that is what takes the years, which is why it is passed on teacher to student, one to one. Illness here is silt in a river and health is the flow: wherever the channel blocks is where symptoms surface, so the work is on the channel. Her hand is light, like wind through a willow.

Who this is for

Three reasons people come to us.

They arrive at different points. Some after years of it, some just starting to look for another way. Any one of these is reason enough.

01

Waiting, or told you're fine

Some people come to us while they wait for an appointment. Others have years of fatigue, digestion that never settles or sleep that doesn't restore, and a file of results within normal range. Traditional Chinese Medicine asks a different set of questions from the ones your tests answer. It sits alongside your medical care, never in place of it.

02

Pain, looked at as a whole

Back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip. Whether it started last month or fifteen years ago, she looks at it as part of the whole of you: when it began, what you were doing then, and what the rest of your body has been doing since. Her work in person is hands-on energy work, with gua sha and moxibustion where she judges them right for you. It is not medical treatment.

03

You want to know what to change

Whether you feel well, run down or are managing a diagnosis, you'd like to understand how your body is running and what you can do about it day to day. A reading sets out what has pulled it off balance, then gives you a plan you can act on: what to eat, how to sleep, how to move, matched to you. The changes are yours to make, at your own pace.

Where to begin

Two readings, both done at a distance.

Both begin with an online form you fill in yourself: your health history, what you've already tried and how it went. Neither requires you to travel. The £79 report comes back to you in writing. The £850 reading can be live on a video call with an interpreter, followed by her written account, or written only.

The usual first step

TCM Wellness Report

A detailed intake with tongue and face photographs, read by a senior Traditional Chinese Medicine physician at our partner clinic in Ningbo, China. You receive a written account of what they see and what to change.

In depth · by arrangement

Observation Reading

A reading by our most experienced practitioner, from your photographs and full history. She reads every case herself. Take it live on video with an interpreter, or in writing. If you would like to see her in person in China, it estimates how long that would take and what it would cost.

The £850 fee is credited in full against your sessions if you go on to see her in China. Once the reading has been delivered, it is not refundable.

Who reads your case

Two services, and the people behind each.

Baoputang is a licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic in Ningbo, China, with nine senior physicians. Two of them write the £79 reports. The £850 reading is given by an independent practitioner who is not part of the Baoputang team.

You Yang

Lead Physician · £79 report

Master's-trained and immersed in Huang Yuanyu's eleven classical texts. Known among patients for how much detail goes into the advice he writes for every case: what to eat, and what to change.

Zhu Qianru

Attending Physician · £79 report

A master's in TCM internal medicine from Chengdu University of Chinese Medicine, grounded in Huang Yuanyu's Si Sheng Xin Yuan. She works across internal and women's health.

Our senior practitioner

Independent · £850 reading

Taught privately, over years, by one teacher in a tradition passed on one to one. Working with clients since 2002, from her own practice in China. Senior TCM doctors bring her the cases they cannot place.

Who we work with

Sessions in China

Sessions in person are planned from your reading.

We do not sell a fixed programme, because we do not know what you need until you have been read. How long you would come for, and what that costs, is estimated in your Observation Reading and confirmed once she has seen you. Only then is there anything to book.

Sessions are given in person by the same practitioner who writes your reading, one session at a time rather than as a package. The number of sessions is decided from your reading. For some people that is a few days, for others two or three weeks.

Each session is an hour, and for that hour you are the only person she is working with.

Start with the Observation Reading

What sessions in person involve

  • 01
    You are read first

    The Observation Reading sets out how the practitioner reads your whole picture, what she thinks has shaped it, and what to be careful of. It stands on its own, and most people stop here.

  • 02
    The reading gives an estimate

    If sessions in person would add anything, the report gives her estimate of how many days and what they would cost. The number is confirmed once she has seen you in person.

  • 03
    You decide, with the number in front of you

    If you go ahead, the £850 reading fee is credited in full against your sessions. If you do not, the reading is still yours to keep.

  • 04
    Accompanied where it matters

    An interpreter throughout, and one point of contact in the UK for the whole trip. Flights and accommodation you book yourself, in your own name; we can suggest places near her practice, and we take no commission on any of them.

  • 05
    Afterwards

    A written summary in English, a plan you can follow at home, and scheduled follow-up in the months that follow.

About

Why we exist.

I'm Sara. For years I ran a content creator agency, worked flat out, and lived the way most people in the UK do. Then my body started pushing back: mouth ulcers almost every month, and coughs that dragged on for months. Every test came back normal.

That's what took me to Traditional Chinese Medicine. It asked about the things nobody else had: what I ate, when I slept, how I was living. I've been studying it ever since, sharing what I learn in short videos, and going back to China to shadow senior doctors. YinYang Well is how you get that kind of one-to-one read for yourself.
