About Bill
Bill Xu - R. TCM.P, R. Acu,
Bill (He/They) is a queer care worker and community organizer who brings a deep commitment to justice, rest, and collective care into every treatment. Their practice is explicitly queer and trans-affirming, body-positive, trauma-informed, and justice-oriented.
Training and Approach:
A graduate of Tzu Chi International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bill has advanced training in scalp acupuncture modalities (YNSA and CSA) for acute and chronic injury, and has studied pulse diagnosis with Dr. Fan Ying Zhi at the Guang Zhou Zheng-An TCM Academy. Bill is also a Jikiden Reiki practitioner and teacher (Shihankaku), which they practice separately from their TCM work.
Bill's practice centers queer and trans folks navigating stress-related ailments—anxiety, grief, digestive concerns, and chronic pain—with a gentle approach that supports your body in learning to rest again. They bring particular expertise to menstrual and fertility care through a queer and trans/gender-affirming lens, understanding that these concerns show up differently across gender identities and lived experiences.
Advocacy Roots:
Before entering care work, Bill spent years organizing around climate justice, anti-racism, and HIV/Hep-C harm reduction. In 2018, burnout forced them to reckon with an important truth: community organizing doesn't just happen at the community level—it happens within ourselves too. Being cared for by others taught Bill that another world is possible, one where we take good care of each other, meet our needs, and feel safe enough to soften.
That realization shapes everything about their practice now. Chinese Medicine understands the body through the lens of the land and world around us—bodies have cycles and rhythms, just like the earth does. Bill has learned to honor those rhythms, meeting each patient exactly where they're at.
Who Bill Works With:
Bill's practice is a safe(er) space for queer and trans folks across all aspects of care. They work with:
Folks navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and shame
Digestive concerns, especially when tied to stress or mood
Menstrual and fertility concerns from a queer and trans/gender-affirming perspective
Community organizers and builders looking to ground and return to their bodies
What to Expect:
Bill is committed to finding the root of your concerns—whether personal, interpersonal, or systemic—and walking alongside you in learning and unlearning what it means to live in our bodies, be with each other, and move through these times. This is a space where your gender identity is respected, your body is honored, and your experience is centered.
