Karina Choe is a skilled acupuncturist and holistic health practitioner with a passion for helping individuals achieve optimal wellness. With clinics based in Tacoma and Everett, she has established herself as a trusted and respected healthcare professional in the local community.


Karina completed her undergraduate studies in Environmental Health at the
University of Washington with plans to attend medical school. Influenced by her
father, Dr. Kichin Choe, and his devotion to Eastern medicine, she instead enrolled and completed her acupuncture studies at WuHsing Tao Acupuncture School, renowned for its approach to Classical Five Element Acupuncture methodology. Currently enrolled at Pacific College of Health and Science, she is expected to receive her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree in late 2023. Beyond her clinical practice, Karina is an accomplished musician and opera singer with a Master's in Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music. She believes music also has healing properties contributing to our overall wellness. She loves to share music by performing in local productions, events, and through her teaching studio.

 

With a comprehensive understanding of the body's energy system, Karina creates customized treatment plans that address the root causes of various health conditions. Her holistic approach to healing considers the patients’ physical, mental, and emotional aspects of their well-being. She takes the time to listen to her patients' concerns with care, uncovering underlying imbalances that may contribute to their health issues. Using the principles of Classical Five Element and Traditional Chinese Medicine, she seeks to restore harmony and optimize the body's innate healing abilities. Karina aims to transform the lives of her patients on their path to health and vitality.

My Philosophy

Along with my medical certifications, I also received a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance from the Manhattan School of Music in New York City and performed opera in countries abroad as well as in the United States. Music serves as an equally important healing modality for me. Eastern medicine is my music while music is my medicine. In harmony, they create Insoodang, house of benevolent art.
