Our History |
Dr. Kim found her way into acupuncture school by complete accident, while dealing with some significant digestive issues after graduating with her Studio Arts degree she worked with a Naturopathic Doctor who helped her through elimination diets and supplements. She found this method of medicine fascinating, specifically since her allopathic physician wanted to prescribe a pill for a disease she didn't have. Kim wanted to become a Naturopath, but learned quickly that she wouldn't be able to get into medical school with an Arts degree. She had come across acupuncture schools in her search, and after visiting one in Berkeley she just signed up, on a total whim.
Dr. Kim went into private practice after becoming licensed in 2010 in the Marina / Cow Hollow District of San Francisco, in 2015 she opened Lion's Heart in the Mission district of SF and moved her practice to San Rafael in 2017. Her intention for creating a truly healing space that extends beyond the treatment room is what makes her practice unique. Dr. Kim melds evidence based medicine and research with spirituality seamlessly, so that patients experience a deep understanding of their healing while also opening the gateway for miracles. |
