Holistic Acupuncture with Hye Wellness
Healing Beyond Symptoms
The old version of me believed healing meant one thing:
making symptoms disappear as quickly as possible.
Less pain.
More comfort.
A body that returns to normal.
That was what I thought true treatment was.
But over time, I realized something deeper.
Healing is not only about fixing what hurts.
It is about understanding what the body is trying to say.
Today, I believe true healing begins when someone truly sees you—
not just your symptoms, but your story.
A Different Kind of Acupuncture Experience
If there were a practitioner who could genuinely recognize me,
I would travel far just to meet them.
Not someone who simply treats a condition,
but someone who can read the mind, the emotions,
and even the direction of a person’s life.
Because health is never only physical.
The body carries stress.
The nervous system holds memories.
And pain often reflects what we have been holding inside for too long.
Why I Created This Clinic
At some point, I realized:
The clinic I had been searching for…
was the clinic I wanted to create.
A place where you are not rushed.
A place where you feel heard, respected, and deeply understood.
A space where acupuncture and herbal medicine are not just treatments—
but a path toward alignment, clarity, and long-term transformation.
Welcome to Your Turning Point
If you are ready for healing that goes beyond symptom relief,
I invite you to begin a different journey.
Not just toward less pain,
but toward a healthier, clearer, and more aligned life.
Because healing is not simply returning to normal.
Healing is becoming whole again.
Your acupuncturist
Hye Kim, Licensed acupuncturist and herbalist
I am both a Nationally Board-Certified and California-Licensed Acupuncturist, but credentials alone do not define my work. What truly guides me is a deep belief in holistic healing—healing that honors the full integration of mind, body, and spirit.
My clinical foundation was shaped through rigorous training at South Baylo University, Emperor’s College, and the Won Institute, where I immersed myself in the principles and practices of Traditional Asian Medicine. These studies grounded me in a lineage of medicine that views the human being as an interconnected system rather than a collection of symptoms.
Before entering the world of healing, however, my path took a different direction. I earned a Master’s degree in International Marketing from Philadelphia University, supported by a full scholarship. That journey carried me across South Korea, Japan, Germany, and Israel, and gave me a lasting respect for cultural diversity, perspective, and the ways human beings seek meaning and balance across societies.
My calling to Asian medicine was deeply personal. Witnessing the physical and emotional suffering of someone close to me awakened a profound sense of urgency—to understand pain beyond surface diagnoses and to explore a more integrative, compassionate approach to healing. That experience became the turning point that led me fully into Traditional Asian Medicine.
At the heart of my philosophy is this belief: true healing occurs when emotional and physical health are addressed together. Every person who walks into my clinic carries a unique history, energy, and life story. They are not “cases” to be managed, but individuals to be heard, respected, and supported.
Guided by this vision, I founded Hye Wellness Acupuncture & Herb Clinic—a space dedicated to alignment, restoration, and clarity. My role is not simply to treat symptoms, but to help patients reconnect with their bodies, regain trust in themselves, and move forward with strength and intention.
Each day in this work continues to teach me humility, growth, and gratitude. I welcome those who are open to a different approach to wellness—one rooted in tradition, refined by modern understanding, and grounded in genuine care.
If you are ready to explore healing as a transformative journey rather than a quick fix, I am here to walk that path with you.
