Mi Na Kim

Mi Na Kim, R.Ac is a licensed acupuncturist with a strong clinical focus on pain management and the treatment of acute and sub-acute injuries, including sprains, strains, overuse injuries, and burn-related recovery. With an academic background in Applied Biology and formal training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mi Na integrates anatomical knowledge with evidence-informed acupuncture to support effective tissue healing, pain relief, and functional restoration.

She completed her Practitioner Diploma in Acupuncture at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Vancouver (ICTCMV) and has pursued advanced clinical mentorship in full-body acupuncture under highly experienced senior practitioners, refining her ability to assess and treat complex, system-wide patterns of pain and dysfunction. She has also gained valuable clinical experience working in a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic led by a doctoral-level TCM practitioner, supporting patients with injury recovery, chronic pain, digestive disorders, and functional impairment.

Through this full-body acupuncture approach, Mi Na has provided supportive and maintenance acupuncture care for oncology patients, focusing on pain management, fatigue reduction, nervous system regulation, and overall quality of life during and after conventional cancer treatments. Her role in this setting emphasized symptom management and functional support rather than disease treatment.

In addition to pain and injury care, Mi Na has extensive experience treating digestive conditions, including functional digestive imbalance, bloating, abdominal discomfort, irregular bowel patterns, and stress-related gastrointestinal symptoms. She approaches digestive health by addressing underlying systemic factors such as nervous system regulation, circulation, and overall organ function.

Mi Na provides acupuncture and individualized treatment planning to address musculoskeletal pain, nerve irritation, restricted mobility, post-injury discomfort, and digestive dysfunction. She also offers cosmetic acupuncture as part of an integrated, whole-body treatment approach, recognizing that facial rejuvenation is most effective when combined with internal regulation and overall physical balance rather than treated as an isolated aesthetic procedure.

Her clinical philosophy emphasizes timely intervention, thorough assessment, and personalized care. Mi Na carefully evaluates the stage, severity, and contributing factors of each condition to ensure treatments are safe, appropriately paced, and clinically effective. Patients value her calm, attentive presence and gentle needling style, which helps relieve pain while supporting the body’s natural healing response.

Mi Na is registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of British Columbia (CTCMA). She is committed to delivering reliable, patient-centered care for individuals seeking effective pain relief, injury recovery, digestive health support, and integrated cosmetic rejuvenation.

If you are experiencing pain, recovering from an injury, dealing with digestive discomfort, or seeking holistic care that supports both internal health and outward wellbeing, Mi Na welcomes you to begin a focused and supportive treatment plan.
