Hi, I’m So-Jung Kim.

I am a dual-licensed Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) practicing in Vancouver.

I provide integrated care that combines clinical assessment, hands-on manual therapy, and Eastern medicine principles to help improve movement, reduce pain, and support whole-body regulation. Treatment decisions are based on your clinical presentation, goals, and response to care, with a focus on measurable progress.

I prioritize clear communication and shared decision-making throughout your recovery. I also maintain ongoing advanced clinical training in the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (DTCM) program.
