A Personal Beginning
The Director's Story
The philosophy of Malgeum Korean Medicine Clinic began with Dr. Hee Jin Jung's own experience of illness and recovery. During her thyroid cancer treatment and recovery, she experienced anxiety, insomnia, and chronic fatigue — concerns that extended beyond physical discomfort alone.
Through recovery, Dr. Jung learned that the body and mind are deeply interconnected — and that a patient's story deserves to be understood alongside every symptom.
The Beginning of Malgeum's Care PhilosophyAfter graduating from Seoul National University and completing her Master's at the National Graduate School of Korean Medicine (1st cohort), Dr. Jung continued to develop a clinical approach grounded in attentive listening, individual health patterns, and the relationship between body, mind, and everyday life.
