Our chief practitioner, Dr. Mi-Yung L. Rhee, L.Ac., DACM, combines her in-depth knowledge of TCM with a deep understanding of modern health issues to deliver effective, personalized treatment plans. With over 3,400 hours of rigorous coursework and clinical training, Dr. Rhee is dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

Services Offered

Our primary focus is on pain and stress management. We believe that addressing these two factors can significantly improve overall health and prevent the onset of other diseases. Dr. Rhee has extensive experience in alleviating a wide range of physical pains and ailments, from muscle strains and sprains to chronic issues like fibromyalgia and arthritis. Additionally, she offers treatments for mental and emotional stress, anxiety, and depression.

Drawing from the eight major branches of TCM, Dr. Rhee's services include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, tui na (Chinese therapeutic massage), moxibustion (a form of heat therapy), cupping, gua sha (scraping therapy), qi gong (breathing exercises), and dietary therapy. These techniques can be used individually or in combination, creating a tailored treatment plan that addresses the root causes of the client's health concerns.
