L.Ac, M.S., Dipl. Acupuncture (NCCAOM)

Acupuncturist, Integrative Therapist

With an undergrad major in biochemistry and molecular biology, Christal was a committed pre-med student and a biochemist interested in curing diseases. Upon graduation, she worked as a research fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while preparing for medical school. With many turns of events, however, she finally chose to pursue acupuncture and herbal medicine to fulfill her dream to become a true healer.

Christal’s journey to become an acupuncturist began when she read the book “The Spark in the Machine.” The book was written by a medical doctor who also earned a degree in Oriental Medicine. Upon reading the book, she decided to pursue East Asian medicine, because she came to believe that acupuncture and herbal medicine can work on a par with (or in some cases better than) conventional medicine—in bringing health and longevity.

Her belief was backed by her childhood experience with acupuncture and herbal medicine. As a Korean family, her mother and grandmother got so much relief from severe back pain after receiving acupuncture. Christal’s chronic sinusitis was cured after one course of herbal medicine. Her belief was further strengthened when she witnessed family members’ improvements with hives, stubborn coughs, anemia, and blood sugar level. Her favorite was getting immediate relief from a digestive blockage with a gentle, single-drop bleeding technique on an acupoint.

Christal earned her master’s degree at Virginia University of Integrative Medicine, where she learned the importance of integrating acupuncture and herbal medicine with conventional medicine. As an integrative therapist, Christal is currently focusing on alleviating pain that occurs from various injuries as well as from internal conditions. She is also passionate about improving conventional medical diagnostic results with acupuncture.

Christal enjoys her life with her husband and three kids. During the weekends they can be seen riding bikes and walking at parks. She also learns ballet with her youngest daughter and enjoys maintaining her fitness with lots of stretches and ballet movements.
