Judy Myong DeHoogh L.Ac - she/her
Feeling heard, held, and safe is some of the most potent medicine that we can receive. This is the medicine and support that I am dedicated to providing.
I was inspired to pursue acupuncture as a profession after my personal experience of receiving profound support and healing. I believe a sincere connection with yourself and your surroundings can lead to transformative change. Acupuncture can provide the relief that allows you to connect with more clarity to your body and your life and the decisions you choose for yourself.
Let’s work together to help you achieve your goals and feel better.
I am licensed and board certified through the NCCAOM with extensive training and experience in culturally responsive, trauma informed care that is attuned to the unique needs of each patient. Since obtaining my license in 2019, I have worked in a variety of clinic settings supporting people experiencing a range of conditions including chronic and acute pain, headaches and migraines, hormonal balance, gastrointestinal support, pregnancy and post-partum, neuropathy, edema, and mental-emotional health. My hope is to help people feel better so they can then feel empowered in their own well-being.
I am proud to be of Korean ancestry and identify as an Asian practitioner in the field of acupuncture and East Asian medicine. I am passionate about increasing inclusivity and accessibility of acupuncture and East Asian medicine for Black, Brown, Asian-Pacific Islander, Indigenous, Latinx communities, the LGBTQIA community, and other marginalized populations.
