	Wei Huang Bertram Ever since she can remember, Wei Huang has been fascinated with her culture’s traditional Chinese arts and medical heritage as it has continued to advance in the modern world. A native of Shanghai, China, Wei spent her early life studying Chinese medical philosophy until the winds of destiny carried her overseas, where she met with the profound healing energy of Qigong Master Dr. Wang in New York. In 1997, her vision materialized and eventually evolved into a unique oasis devoted to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga, Herbs, and Fine Teas, named Arogya Holistic Healing, where she remains the founding director, yoga trainer, tea master, and holistic consultant. She routinely travels to Asia, where she offers yoga classes and lectures on holistic health and meditation, while also seeking some of the finest teas in the world. Wei has been featured in various media presentations such as the Martha Stewart show, Connecticut News 12, Utne Reader, Connecticut Magazine, Westport Magazine, Fairfield Magazine, and several Fairfield County newspapers.

	Dr. Wang Shuren Dr. Wang Shu Ren is a widely renowned educator and well-respected sixth-generation doctor of Chinese Medicine. He comes from a long-standing traditional family where his introduction to the wonderful art, philosophy, and practice of Chinese Medicine was presented at the age of five. In China, Dr. Wang was Vice Chairman of the Association of Chinese Acupuncture, Chairman of the Chi-Gong Department and Professor at Chang Chun Chinese Medical University, and remains a Consultant to the Chinese Medical Hospital of Jilin Province. Overwhelmed by the success of his treatments at Arogya and by the growing interest in classical and traditional Chinese medicine in the US, he has chosen to help more people without the restraints of physical boundaries, remaining a regular visitor to Arogya, and an online Chinese medical consultant from his original homeland in China.
