Our Services

  • Acupuncture

    Gently insert sterile needles on the acupuncture points to treat muscle pain, stress, insomnia, anxiety and infertility

  • Cupping

    The suction created by the cup encourages blood flow—and this increased circulation may promote healing and reduce pain.

  • Massage

    Massage has significant benefits for autonomic nervous system function. Physiological stress is relieved and the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves is controlled to be more balanced.

“Testimonials”

  • Awaken Acupuncture is an exceptional practice. Dr. Sunjae is warm, friendly, and she really cares about her patients. She takes time to get to know you, and asks important questions that guide her treatment. Dr. Sunjae explains every step of the treatment. I love her holistic approach to wellness. Her understanding and kindness has led to my four month commitment to acupuncture and I am feeling so much better. Caleb works wonders with his impeccable massage! I am so grateful for Awaken Acupuncture!

    Marisa C.

  • I had a fantastic experience with Sun and Caleb. Their professionalism and expertise were evident from sun, the acupuncturist asked me questions about my health and quickly went to work on my left shoulder and lower back. The atmosphere was calming, and their demeanor was reassuring. I was not afraid of how she applied the needles. The wife and husband team brings a family-like experience to a completely comfortable, relaxing and rejuvenating session, she with the acupuncture and cupping skills and he with the hands to ease muscle tension. I tried their cupping therapy on my very first visit, and found it very beneficial for also improving my energy flow and addressing my sleep issues. Note that cupping will leave reddish circular marks on your body but these go away in about 6 days. The cupping was about 10 minutes but Yu could start with a shorter session if you’re new to this. I highly recommend Awaken Acupuncture for anyone looking for a holistic approach to wellness. Their friendliness, high attention paid to patients, and overall expertise, to go along with their fantastic masseuse and cupping services, make them stand out in their field.

    Thomas K.

  • I have nothing but good things to say about Awaken Acupuncture. From scheduling very first appointment, Dr. Kim impressed me with her professionalism, fast-follow up (there was weather issue) and overall kind manner. Now I did my third visit ever since, and am always left happy each time. Dr. Kim takes time to listen and gather enough information about the patient in every session. This has been helpful to narrow down what specific treatment (e.g. where to focus on acupuncture) is needed for the visit. Also, I'd like to express my appreciation for the masseur who's been nothing but awesome every time I visit. I highly, highly recommend Awaken Acupuncture for anyone who need acupuncture treatment.

    Aram C.

  • The best acupuncture I’ve ever been with two lovely professional. By accurately diagnosing and prescribing a condition I was unaware of, I am able to face a new day now. Thank you for your sincere advice and listening, which even healed my mind too😊😀

    Hugo S.

  • My husband and I both of us have gotten acupuncture treatment by Dr.Kim. Dr. Kim is the best acupuncturist I have ever seen. My husband had spine and shoulder pain, and I had severe knee pain. After receiving her acupuncture treatment, my husband's and my pain were healed completely! Thanks to Dr. Kim! Moreover, Dr. kim's personality made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I was so scared of needles at first , but thanks to Dr. Kim, I am not scared of it any more. I fell asleep with needles on my body. She treated my physical pain and emotional stress as well. I highly recommend Dr. Kim as your acupuncturist!!

    Jueun K.

  • The herbs and the treatments have really improved my mood and my pain is becoming less and less now. I have felt a significant improvement in how I feel now versus before. I will surely continue to see you. Plus you are a pleasure to work with.

    Amie J.

  • I wholeheartedly recommend Sunjae Kim-Awaken Acupuncture. I have been treated by Dr, Kim with my different pains for several years. Even when it was so hard that I couldn't even walk due to acute indigestion, even when I didn't know which doctor to see due to sudden severe pain of unknown cause, Dr. Kim's warm-hearted concern, examination, skilled acupuncture, amazing medical knowledge and experiences saved my life. Dr. Kim treats not only just pain spot, but also tries to find out the cause of the pain and heal it. I believe that Dr. Kim is a true doctor who is needed in this era, and even I wish that she will be my own personal doctor in the near future:) Also, this new comfy, calm, and clean environment of Awaken-acupunture creates peace and relaxing during sessions. In addition to this, Dr. Kim's beautiful smile and kindness are more than that. Highly recommend to see Dr. Kim, if you wanna be healthier without pain in your daily life.

    Windy L.

  • Dr. Kim is one of the sweetest people I know. I have been getting acupuncture with Dr. Kim for a few months now. I am scared of needles (it does not matter how small they are) and she makes me feel very comfortable. The place is also very clean. I feel relaxed when I'm getting acupuncture with Dr. Kim.

    Yarsily R.

  • I met Dr.Kim from her previous office. I am not used to acupuncture yet I tried it as I was suffering from my sprained ankle for 3 weeks. Other doc's offices didn't have much to do for me so I tried acupuncture and I am so glad I tried. After hearing my problem, Dr.Kim treated my stagnation/ inflammation that I didn't even know that I had and gave me gentle needles which soothed my pain. After her treatment I was able to walk/run in heels for a day long as a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding. She really saved my ankle!

    Janette H.

  • Dr. Kim Is The BEST!! She's So Patient, Caring and Kind. She Always Makes Me Feel Sooo Comfortable. And I NEVER Want To Leave, Especially Because I Always Fall Asleep Lol. Highly Recommend!!!

    Jacqueline K.

  • I had a big back pain one night so couldn't even lie down on bed. I should have gone to a doctor, but I couldn't. Then I met Dr. Kim. She treated me with care and her prayerful-healing hand took away the pain the next day. I was grateful to meet her. I strongly recommend Dr. Kim.

    Bokkun C.

  • 5 out of 5! 100% recommend! I had terrible lumbar sprain last year. Dr.Kim checked a thorough evaluation to identify where my injury may have occurred, she is such a wonderful, skilled acupuncture practitioner. Of course, she helped me heal from my injury and helped me maintain my overall health. I would definitely revisit her!

    Alice P.

  • I've been ordering herbal formulas from Dr.Kim last two years. She creates the best herbal formulas. I have had many chronic health issues such as chronic migraines, dizziness, chronic fatigue ever since I had Covid in early 2020, but after taking a couple rounds of her herbs all the lingering symptoms are gone and I feel much healthier. I highly recommend her to anyone I know!

    Calista Y.

  • I don't usually write reviews, but today's experience made me want to do it. Dr.Kim was so friendly and great. She made me feel very comfortable while she treated me. I went there for stress and shoulder pain and was very tired. After the treatment, I felt fully rested and recovered. I also like the place. The clinic was very clean, cozy, and beautiful. It feels like I got treatment at a hotel, haha. I'm going to see Dr.Kim again next Saturday.

    Amy L.

  • Doctor Kim is kind hearted and was very attentive to my complicated symptoms. I had much stress and it was affecting my body badly. I was calmed and relieved after consulting with her. My symptoms got better every time I was treated. I definitely recommend her.

    Stasia C.

  • Few months ago, my husband started experiencing partial hair loss and he began acupuncture treatment with Dr Kim. We are happy with the progress of the treatment as he started observable hair growth on the areas plus he started feeling better in both body and mind (relieve stress). We highly recommend Dr Kim!

    Sheilky V.

  • Dr. Kim is a kind and thoughtful, well skilled in acupuncture treatment. I visited often with my Indigestion matter and it got better by her treatment. Highly recommend.

    James J.

  • My experience with Dr. Kim has been absolutely amazing. I sought her help initially for a finger pain after an accident at a mission trip a few years back, and I remember feeling significantly better only after one visit, and completely healed after the second visit. Recently, I got an acute finger pain on my other hand as well as back pain, so I sought her help again, and only after a few sessions, those pains are gone. I love how she listens to my symptoms wholeheartedly. With her medical professional background as a registered nurse and having worked at an ICU, she is able to provide care with deep understanding of the best of the Eastern and Western medicine philosophies combined. It's rare to find a provider who understands both worlds and that's her unique talent enabling her to provide a holistic approach for healing. Her professionalism, extensive knowledge, and genuine care for her patients truly shine through. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kim to patients experiencing acute and chronic pains.
