About the Director

Dr. Hee Jin Jung Korean Medicine Doctor in Seoul

“When the body becomes clear, the mind becomes clear too.”

Meet the director of Malgeum Korean Medicine Clinic and learn about the personal experience, clinical background, and philosophy behind her approach to mind-body care.

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 Philosophy

After 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.

Treatment Philosophy

Listen First We listen carefully to each patient's symptoms, health history, and individual concerns before considering a personalized care plan.

Body & Mind as One Physical symptoms and emotional wellbeing are considered together within the context of sleep, stress, digestion, energy, and everyday life.

Personalized, Sustainable Care Treatment is individualized according to each patient's symptoms, constitution, health needs, and daily patterns.
