ABOUT ME

I was born in Seoul, Korea, and raised in New York City, experiences that shaped my appreciation for both Eastern and Western perspectives on health and healing. My path to acupuncture began at age 19 after I sustained a back injury. Seeking relief, I visited my mother’s acupuncturist, who successfully treated the injury. I was deeply struck not only by the results, but by the quiet, attentive process of care. That experience planted an early seed of curiosity and respect for this medicine.

Years later, while working as a digital creative in Seattle, the call back to this work resurfaced. A close friend introduced me to Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture™, and through my own treatments I experienced the profound mind, body, and spirit shifts that this tradition can support. I came to appreciate how this style of acupuncture works to gently reestablish internal harmony and support a return to our natural state of health and vitality. What began as personal healing gradually became a clear professional calling and a medicine I felt deeply compelled to share.

I am currently a provider at Kwan Yin Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon, where I am dedicated to supporting each patient’s unique healing journey. My role is to listen carefully, observe deeply, and serve as a compassionate guide as patients move toward greater balance, resilience, and whole-person wellness.
