Here to help you change your relationship with stress
Welcome! I’m Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang, a mother and wife, cancer survivor, pulmonary physician, and mindfulness teacher. More importantly, I deeply believe that stress happens! It’s a natural part of life. What comes next is up to you. To help you get there, my colleagues and I teach mindfulness, an evidence-based skill that is innate in all of us that encompasses practical and experiential solutions for dealing with stress. Join a supportive group of people and learn how to respond in healthier ways to stress, chronic illness, and other life challenges.
Explore my health and wellness services
I’m here to serve you if you are looking to live a fuller life and to help my fellow healthcare professionals looking to do the same. I invite you to explore my services, including the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course and healthcare professional wellness offerings. Work with me personally on a better approach to stress and chronic illness, or book me to speak or lead an experiential group session. A portion of all proceeds received from honoraria and fees (not associated with Coastal Pulmonary Associates) will go to a different non-profit organization each year. Past non-profits include the Young Survival Coalition (a national support for young breast cancer survivors).
Get to know me better
I’m a wife and mother of two, cancer survivor, pulmonary physician, and mindfulness teacher. Your health and wellness, alongside my peers, colleagues, and community members, is the central purpose of my career. This includes my current role as Director of Pulmonary Integrative Medicine at Coastal Pulmonary Associates, as well as time as a Voluntary Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine as a volunteer there for the Medical Student-Run Free Clinic for uninsured patients.
Here’s the thing: allopathic medicine and my participation in a clinical trial saved my life from cancer. But integrative therapies such as mindfulness meditation, acupuncture, and yoga have enriched my quality of life significantly. That’s why I’m so committed to promoting physician wellness and teaching mindfulness to patients, healthcare professionals, and their students.
