The Team

Yumi (Ji Young Bae), Cofounder

Pilates and Rehabilitation

To pursue my passion of understanding how the body works, I learned in various programs including Rehabilitation Exercise from the Korean Institute of Exercise Education and most recently completed a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from Nam Seoul University. My approach is to understand my client's body through body type analysis, and help them to return to a neutral, balanced posture.

Hyunjin Kim, DC

US Chiropractor

I was trained at the origins of Chiropractic in the US— Palmer College of Chiropractic, and I blend the traditional chiropractic techniques that I learned with modern methodologies and an evidence based approach. I strive to have a balanced perspective on what is going on with my clients and use the most appropriate technique given what they are presenting with.

Sunjae Lee, ND MSOM

US Naturopath

I graduated from the first Naturopathic School in the US, National College of Natural Medicine with a double degree in Naturopathy and Oriental Medicine in 2014. Since then I have been seeing clients in Seoul, Korea as one of Korea’s only US Naturopaths, and emphasize a holistic, non-invasive approach to all my clients. I believe that all symptoms are part of larger patterns that are present in the body and that we need to use a multifaceted approach to sustainably resolve these functional imbalances.
