Acupremier Acupuncture:
Our Story
At Acupremier Acupuncture, we believe true health comes from a daily practice that restores balance. For centuries, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has defined health not by the absence of disease, but by a balanced mind, body, and spirit. Inspired by this philosophy, Acupremier Acupuncture was founded to bring that timeless approach to our modern community.
Our vision is to create a healing space where every person feels heard, cared for, and guided toward the best version of themselves.
We know that so many people today struggle with chronic stress, pain, hormonal imbalances, digestive concerns, and fatigue. Conventional medicine gives us one perspective and approach to healing, while Eastern Medicine practices bring another layer of understanding. With the integrative approach, patients can have a deeper understanding of how to approach their healing path.
At Acupremier Acupuncture, we offer:
*Personalized Care: We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all healing. Every session is tailored to your unique story, health history, and goals.
*Integrative Support: We honor the roots of acupuncture while integrating modern research to deliver safe, effective, and lasting results.
*Comfort and Cleanliness: Safety and comfort are our priorities.

Jillian Wang, LAc.
Jillian completed her undergraduate degree training at University of Illinois at Chicago where she earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology. During this time, she worked at an outpatient physical therapy office, and volunteered at the #1 ranked rehabilitation hospital in the US, the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (formerly Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) where she assisted in treating spinal cord injury patients.
After moving to Southern California in 2010, she developed an autoimmune condition that was attributed to prolonged stress. After seeing several specialists and having limited progress with medications, she turned to acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine to help her in the healing process. Through her own experience, she has found her passion for helping others heal through acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
Jillian graduated with honors from Yo San University with a degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, specializing in Orthopedics. She is currently obtaining her doctorate at Yo San University with integrative coursework in Women’s Health and Healthy Aging. She is licensed by the California State Board of Acupuncture and nationally certified in Oriental Medicine by NCCAOM. While in school, she completed her externships at Venice Family Clinic and Wise and Healthy Aging in Santa Monica. In her free time, she enjoys yoga, Pilates, traveling, and spending time with her loved ones.
Mei discovered Traditional Chinese medicine after years of digestive issues she had come to accept as a normal part of life. Through treatment, she noticed that when her stress was better managed, her symptoms improved. This understanding gave her a new sense of agency over her health and inspired her to become a practitioner, helping others uncover the root of their symptoms and feel empowered in their own health journey.
Mei earned a Bachelor's degree in Health and Human Sciences from Loyola Marymount University and a Master's in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from Yo San University, and is licensed by the California State Board of Acupuncture. Mei specializes in Japanese-style acupuncture, which utilizes gentle needling approaches to treating a wide variety of symptoms, including pain, digestion-related issues, stress, and more.
A lifelong South Bay resident, Mei loves Torrance Beach, the local food scene, and cheering on LA's teams. She's grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community that has given so much to her and is excited to see you in the clinic!
