J. Douglas Weinstein M.OM, L.OM, Dipl.OM
Master of Oriental Medicine, Nationally Board Certified (NCCAOM), Founder of LiveWell Medicine
Douglas Weinstein is licensed to practice acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in Pennsylvania. He works in conjunction with Western-trained medical doctors to give the best all-around care that a patient can receive.
Before Douglas Weinstein was ever a professional acupuncturist, he was a patient. For 10+ years, Douglas has experienced the benefits of acupuncture and Chinese medicine as a patient. In 2001, Douglas had his first encounter with acupuncture, experiencing a drastic improvement in his seasonal allergies and asthma along with a reduction in his stress levels, while undergoing wellness treatments. Since then he has used acupuncture to maintain his health, feel great, and further reduce stress.
In 2004, Douglas graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor’s degree in Public and Community Health. In 2005, Douglas began his career in the integrative health field, studying acupuncture at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Douglas received his Master’s degree in Acupuncture in 2008. He furthered his studies in Chinese medicine, by completing a 3-year post-graduate program in Chinese herbal medicine in 2011. After obtaining his certificate in Chinese herbal medicine, Douglas became a teaching assistant for the next class of post-graduate Chinese herbal medicine students. In 2014, Douglas received his second Master’s degree, which was a Master’s of Oriental Medicine. Subsequently, he became Nationally Board Certified in Oriental Medicine by the N.C.C.A.O.M.
Brian Lau, M.OM, L.OM, Dipl.OM
Master of Oriental Medicine, Nationally Board Certified (NCCAOM)
Brian Lau is licensed to practice Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in Pennsylvania and has a dual Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He has always had a desire to help others, and that is why he started his career in healthcare. In addition to his training in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Brian has a unique blend of Western medical knowledge from working 10+ years as a registered nurse. This training gives Brian a unique position of having considerable knowledge in BOTH Eastern and Western medicine – something which few individuals possess.
Brian began his career in healthcare at Northern Arizona University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing. He has extensive experience working in the mental health and addiction field, where he has enjoyed working with people of all age groups and backgrounds. It was this work that lead him to discover the field of acupuncture and how effective it can be in healing both the mind and the body. This discovery was thanks to the talented acupuncturists he met and was later mentored and healed by, coupled with his desire to connect to his own Chinese roots.
Brian soon went on to attend the Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, where he obtained his Master’s degree in Oriental Medicine, as well as a certification in the Chinese Body work known as Tui Na. Brian later became board certified in Oriental medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
More recently, Brian moved from his home state of Arizona to join our practice, Live Well Medicine, in Hershey, PA, where he shares his knowledge and expertise with his patients.
Albert Einstein once said, “Problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them.” Brian does not like the idea of getting stuck as a healer, so that is why he constantly learns and finds new tools and skills to help others with. He strives to help others who are motivated to transform and renew their minds and bodies and not conform to the patterns that cause them to get sick and feel stuck in their lives.

Earlier in life, while Brian was living in New York City, Brian’s hearing was damaged by
an unfortunate instance of exposure to excessive noise. Acupuncture is what brought
relief to his tinnitus and depression and gave him hope for life again. Brian has been
known to say, “acupuncture saved my life”. Brian loves acupuncture and Oriental
medicine because it is so gentle and yet so powerful. After experiencing the benefits of
acupuncture for himself, Brian wanted to help others experience the same relief and has
dedicated himself to provide healing to others.
Brian believes that this medicine is as much an art as it is a science. He invites you to
experience his skill of moving energy to help you get out of pain and achieve balance in
your body and your life.
