About us

Tsenter of Wellness is a husband-and-wife acupuncture practice founded on a shared belief that meaningful healthcare begins with seeing the whole person—not just a list of symptoms.As licensed acupuncturists and Doctors of Acupuncture, Dr. Stephanie Tsen and Dr. James Karner bring their own experiences, interests, and perspectives to patient care while sharing the same commitment to thoughtful, individualized treatment. Our approach is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and shaped by a modern understanding of health, allowing us to meet each patient where they are and create care that feels personal, practical, and connected.Our paths into acupuncture may be our own, but our philosophy is shared: we believe patients deserve time to be heard, care that looks beyond the surface, and a treatment plan designed around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.Together, we care for patients through acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine across a wide range of health concerns, with particular interests spanning women's health and fertility, pain management, digestive health, stress and emotional wellness, acu-detox, and preventative care.At Tsenter of Wellness, James and Stephanie often describe themselves as a little like Yin and Yang. Their personalities and approaches may be quite different, but those differences complement one another—bringing two perspectives together under a shared philosophy of individualized, whole-person care.

Our Practice Is Growing

We're excited to share that Dr. Stephanie is stepping into a new chapter with Tao of Women, a practice dedicated to fertility, reproductive health, and women’s wellness.

Tao of Women will become the primary home for Dr. Stephanie's work in fertility and women’s health, allowing her to devote even more time to supporting women through the many seasons of their reproductive and hormonal health.

Tsenter of Wellness isn’t going away. We'll continue offering personalized acupuncture and wellness care through Tsenter of Wellness, including mobile appointments and services outside the primary focus of Tao of Women.

We're incredibly excited for what this next chapter will bring, and we’d love for you to come along with us.

Meet dr. stephanie

Growing up, she was introduced to holistic approaches to health through her family, and over time she developed a deep appreciation for how lifestyle, nutrition, and Traditional Chinese Medicine can work together to support lasting wellness.Today, Stephanie combines modern medical training with traditional acupuncture to create personalized treatment plans that address the whole person—not just individual symptoms. Whether you're seeking pain relief, fertility support, stress reduction, or simply a healthier lifestyle, her goal is to provide thoughtful, compassionate care that helps you feel your best.Education & Credentials:Licensed Acupuncturist - ArizonaDoctor of Naturopathic Medicine with Honors in Regenerative Medicine - Sonoran University of Health SciencesDoctor of Acupuncture - Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine & AcupunctureMaster of Acupuncture - Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine & Acupuncture

Meet Dr. James

James’s path to Chinese Medicine began with a love of plants and herbal medicine. While helping build Tweefontein Farm in New York with a close friend, he spent his days growing herbs, crafting tinctures, and sharing herbal knowledge with visitors. What began as a fascination with the natural world gradually grew into a deeper interest in traditional systems of healing and ultimately led him to acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.Today, James brings that same curiosity to his work with patients. He especially enjoys treating pain, mental and emotional health, and complex or challenging concerns that require a little more investigation. His approach is easygoing, thoughtful, and highly educational—he enjoys helping patients understand not only what he is doing, but why. With a naturally warm personality and a touch of whimsy, James creates a treatment experience that feels approachable, collaborative, and uniquely his own.Education & Credentials:Licensed Acupuncturist - ArizonaDoctor of Acupuncture - Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine & AcupunctureMaster of Acupuncture - Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine & Acupuncture
