Your Practitioner

  • Dr. Magdalen Hsu-Li, DACM-CH

“I have been to many acupuncturists before, but none of them compare to the knowledge and kindness of Dr. Hsu-Li. Via acupuncture and deep Sufi healings, she has been able to help me with anxiety and depression. After each session, I always feel more relaxed, centered, and have more clarity than when I arrive to our sessions. The effects have been long-term and Dr. Hsu-Li has been a vital part in my healing journey. Thank you, Magdalen!”

Our Vision

 

Hey there from Dr. Magdalen Hsu-Li of Zara Acupuncture & Wellness!

In early 2017, we visualized opening up a dreamy acupuncture, healthcare, and wellness space dedicated to representing diversity, equity, and inclusion, in the heart of Wayland Square on the East Side of Providence. Our vision was to create a compassionate, heart-centered, practice that offers, “Slow Medicine," where the practitioner has sufficient time to connect with the patient, asking relevant questions and providing medical care through multiple modalities, to optimize patient wellness and heal chronic illness. We also envisioned finding the perfect location for this new practice that would help to modernize Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, (CAM) Complementary Alternative Medicine, and diversity in wellness in our community-mindset-culture, making it highly visible and accessible to everyone in Providence, Rhode Island and greater New England. And we did it! Our vision became a reality in 2021 with the opening of Zara Acupuncture and Wellness in our beautiful new location at 55 S. Angell St. We are proud Rhode Islanders who love living and working in the “Ocean State,” and we want to welcome you to visit us and see how amazing and life-changing our healthcare offerings can be for you!
