What is Qi? Qi is energy, and Qigong in Chinese means "energy skills" or "energy manipulation." In Medical Qigong, it is the ancient art and science of working with the energy of heaven and earth, and the Qigong practitioner providing the link and passage of energy to achieve the healing for individuals.
Qigong has a history that is older than 5000 years, even older than traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM as well as Tai Qi Quan (exercise involving soft gentle movements coordinated with one's breath) actually have origins from Qigong.

Acupuncture is the use of fine needles placed on the various part of the body. The point of insertion can be near the affected areas requiring attention or the site can be at a distance where a particular energy channel/meridian passess through. Once the needles are inserted, they may be manipulated so that the energy is brought to the site of insertion to enhance its effectiveness.
To better understand disease, one should first understand what constitutes good health. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), there are two important substances in our body: yin (blood/fluid/moisture) and yang (energy/warmth/heat). For simplicity purposes blood and energy will be mentioned to denote the two groups that are vital to one's body.
I've taken Qigong classes from Yong and had individual sessions with him. He is extremely knowledgeable about how Qigong benefits the body's energy patterns and leads to greater calm and a sense of centeredness. Yong is also deeply respectful of his clients and the processes they are experiencing in their own lives as he works toward their healing.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Kim and my Qigong healing experiences with him. I reached out to Dr Kim when I was at a low time in my life in search of spiritual healing and direction, to say I feel like a completely different person would be an understatement. I was stressed, anxious and in constant physical discomfort, since seeing Dr Kim I feel happy, peaceful and have very little if any pain.
My first appointment was a consultation where him and I sat down and discussed where I was at emotionally/physically and spiritually. He asked some important questions about my health and sent

Well - I don’t believe in speaking too much on any experience however, I think my experience with the individual owner of this establishment should be shared. I’ll explain what happened and allow the reader to decipher for his/herself what they chose to…. I called ahead of time to be scheduled- they couldn’t fit me in until two months later. I had already done acupuncture many times on the east coast with many different practitioners- I know the basics and how they assess you. They look at your tongue and check your pulse… when I finally got to see doctor Kim - I walked into his office

It is The Qigong energy healing has truly been that and I’m so thankful for it and Dr.Kim, he is truly the best.

This review is long overdue, mostly because I don’t know how to articulate the life changing results I’ve experienced with Dr Kim.
Just over a year ago, I connected with Dr Kim. At that time, I was on 3 different prescription meds and suffering from depression, anxiety and insomnia that I’d been wrestling with for years. I tried everything that Western medicine could offer, and have taken almost every pill out there. In addition, I am 5 years out of cancer/surgery/chemo. The treatments used to eradicate the cancer leave unanticipated, long lasting side effects; I could not find relief and

I initially went to Yong Kim for severe lower back pain which was relieved with several acupuncture treatments along with special salve and heat treatment. I then discussed some other concerns including weight loss and began a daily regimen of cinnamon tea blend and regular acupuncture treatments. The acupuncture treatments and healing energy have also helped tremendously with sadness and pain experienced from the loss of both parents, most recently my mother. Some other benefits I have noticed since starting acupuncture are decreased anxiety and decreased overall pain. In fact, I rarely take Aleve

Dr. Kim is amazing, one of a kind Acupuncturist/Energy Healer! I have been to many Acupuncturists however none with the ability to clear blocked energy as Dr. Kim. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim, he offers Energy Healing, Acupuncture and massage, all extremely effective. I have seen him 4 times, experienced all of his services. All worked well!! He does have a long waiting list so it is best to call him as soon as possible. Well worth the wait.

I went to Kim's Acupuncture and Energy Healing with long-term chronic back pain. Due to several injuries in my younger years as a professional dancer, I have problems considered degenerative and without cure, such as disc degeneration, arthritis, and stenosis. I tried physical therapy and massage, and I wanted to avoid surgery and long-term use of prescription medications. Dr. Kim used different modalities (acupuncture, energy healing, Chinese massage) for my condition, and he is truly a master at his work. While these treatments require patience due to the many years I have been dealing with these

I sought treatment from Dr. Kim after an auto accident with a semi truck. I experienced immense pain in my lower, mid, and upper back region. Additionally, I felt my brain was in a “fog” as my body was in shock from the accident. For example, I recall during the time of my accident, I tried dialing 911 to call for help and yet I sat in my car unable to dial the number. I first began a cupping treatment and several acupuncture treatments afterwards. Dr. Kim was very professional and patient when explaining self-care protocol to me after each session. I’m so grateful for the treatments I received

I share my story to encourage anyone seeking significant body-mind-spirit healing, to work with this gifted healer. I knew nothing about "Energy Healing" before two respected Tai Chi instructors recommended Dr. Kim. At the time I was experiencing multiple devastating symptoms, including migraines with episodes of blindness, in addition to severe I.B.S. Allopathic doctors were gravely concerned, but had no solutions to offer. After one healing session with Dr. Kim, I knew that he is "the real deal". In a short time I came to see him as a Powerful Healer, a Wise Counsel, Humble, Insightful, Gentle

In my 60s, I’ve had a number of years of physical therapy and chiropractic care for my low back pain compounded by a hip injury with only limited relief. I was also experiencing an increase in stress and high blood pressure that required medications.
In search of new healing for my issues I tried Bowen therapy but the relief was temporary. I then tried acupuncture and was disappointed in the results. My nurse practitioner suggested I try a new practitioner, Dr. Yongsuk Kim.
Dr. Kim administered acupuncture and energy healing treatments. To say my life began to improve from that first treatment
