Acupuncturist
Shua Kim, DACM, L.Ac
She received a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and Master of Science of Traditional Oriental Medicine at Pacific College of Health and Science.
She has been specially trained in Sa’am Korean Five Elements Acupuncture, which is a unique treatment method that represents traditional Korean medicine and focuses on the idea of treating a disease derived from internal organ dysfunction. Sa’am acupuncture is a powerful method of treatment that can treat disease within four acupuncture points.
Shua loves treating a wide variety of illnesses and diseases. She believes that all diseases are from the disharmony of the internal organs. She sees the patient as the whole person rather than the illnesses or diseases they have.
Shua’s vision is to spread the significance of Oriental Medicine to the public by building trust with the patients and giving the best treatments for their physical and spiritual wellbeing.

We look beyond symptoms to understand what's driving them, so results are deeper and more sustainable.
Personalized care
No two people are the same. Every plan is customized to your body, life, and goals.
Gentle precision
Technique uses thoughtful, focused point selection rather than force.
Whole-person support
Care considers stress, sleep, digestion, emotion, and daily resilience.
Sa'am Korean Five Element Acupuncture
A balanced system for a healthy, adaptable you.
Sa'am Korean Five Element acupuncture views the body as an interconnected system of five elements. When energy flows freely and stays in balance, we feel well.
When one element becomes weak or overactive, it can affect others, leading to pain, fatigue, stress, or recurring issues. Treatments use points and herbal medicine to restore balance, support natural resilience, and help you thrive.
