🔵 In my early twenties, I traveled to more than 20 countries and over 50 cities around the world, striving to broaden and deepen my understanding of people, the world, and life.🔵 In my mid-twenties, I completed two years of military service in my home country, South Korea.🔵 In my late twenties, I worked as a Marketing Specialist for three years at the Motorola Solutions Asia Pacific Headquarters in Penang, Malaysia.🔵 Now in my mid thirties, I have completed 1,000 hours of Western and Eastern massage training at Pacific College of Health and Science and, as the owner of Mindful Bodywork Lab, I work with clients who seek bodywork care since Dec 2023.🔵 I am also currently pursuing the Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine program at PCHS.

I offers the following styles of sessions:

🟦 Specialty 1. Deep Tissue and Structural Bodywork For Pain and Symptom Relief

Since opening in December 2023, Mindful Bodywork Lab has treated over 1,500 clients, many with pain in the shoulders, neck, lower back, pelvis, or legs caused by exercise, injury, or work stress.To address this, I use my knowledge of anatomy and skilled techniques to find the root cause of pain and treat it from a bodyworker’s perspective. Each session may include Deep Tissue work, assisted stretching, hot stones, red light therapy, cupping, or moxa to relieve discomfort effectively.

🟦 Specialty 2. Balancing & Recharge Massage for Tension Release and Deep Grounding

At Mindful Bodywork Lab, about half of our clients are very active, while the other half come to recover from work stress, life events, or burnout. I understand how hard you work to live in a demanding world, so I design each session with care to help your body and mind truly rest.This session blends Deep Tissue and Deep Relaxation—releasing tension while easing pain. My goal is for you to leave feeling lighter, more comfortable, and fully restored.
Sessions may include Deep Tissue, Deep Relaxation, aromatherapy oils, a mask pack, hot stones, moxa, or red light therapy.

🟦 Specialty 3. Assisted Stretching

As someone who also enjoys high-intensity workouts, I know how easy it is for active people to skip recovery and stretching. I’m also a student who spends long hours at a desk, so I understand the lower back and pelvic pain common in office workers or people who stand all day.Assisted Stretching is a therapeutic approach that uses yoga-based techniques to correct these structural imbalances. Many clients love Mindful Bodywork Lab’s unique assisted stretching sessions. This session usually combines hot stones to relax the muscles with assisted stretching for maximum benefit.

🟦 Speciality 4. Prenatal Massage

Working with mothers as they prepare for new life is one of the greatest joys and honors of my career as a massage therapist.After extensive training and careful preparation, I earned my Prenatal Massage Certification in August 2025 and began offering this specialized service at Mindful Bodywork Lab. If you are interested in a prenatal session, please contact me directly so we can discuss your needs in detail.

🟦 Specialty 5. Cupping & Moxa Therapy

Cupping and Moxa therapy are traditional techniques used to release tension, move stagnation, and support the body’s natural healing process. By applying heat and negative pressure, these methods help improve circulation, relieve pain, and warm the meridians to restore balance.I tailor each session to the client’s specific needs, whether addressing muscle stiffness, chronic pain, fatigue, or stress, to provide effective and therapeutic results.
