After nine months of coming here, I can honestly say this place has been life-changing. I came in hoping for relief, and now I leave wondering why I didn't start acupuncture sooner! The staff is incredibly kind, respectful, and truly takes the time to listen--they don't just treat symptoms, they dig deep to find the root of the problem. The clinic is always spotless, peaceful, and so comfortable that it's impossible not to relax the moment you walk in. Every visit feels like hitting the reset button for both my body and mind. If you're on the fence about acupuncture, consider this your sign--you (and your stress levels) will thank you! read more

I would give 10 even a 100 stars if it were possible. I went for my first ever acupuncture treatment after 18 months of suffering intense pain to the point of almost not being able to walk. Almost unbelievable the amazing and incredible results Dr Kim is more than amazing. Already suggested Dr Kim to several of my friends. I feel blessed to have found Dr Kim and you will feel the same if you book an appointment with her office. read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Kim's insight and professionalism in regards to my treatment plan. I felt reassured and comfortable every session. I had fantastic results in the end and highly recommend this place. read more

So my mom has been dealing with sciatica pain for some time the pain got so bad that she was not able to walk on her own and needed a walker. It seemed like I was taking her to the doctor at least once a week she was giving pain medication and it helped for a while, but the pain always came back. So I decided to take her to an acupuncturist because her primary care doctor wasn't taking care of the problem. when my mom came in for her first visit the pain level was at a nine and came I with a walker at her second visit her pain level was at a 3 and was not using her walker by the third visit she didn't have any pain. I 10/10 I recommend you visit them if you're looking for an acupuncturist.. plus their customer service is great. The office is very very clean. read more

I've continued my treatment and Kim is incredible and truly knows exactly how to help! Since starting acupuncture with her, my menstrual cycle has become more regular, and my skin has cleared up noticeably. I also occasionally deal with back pain, and she always knows just what to do to relieve it. Her treatments are thoughtful and incredibly effective. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for targeted and effective care. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Kim for treatment since April of this year, and I truly can't recommend her enough. From the moment I walked into her office, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely heard. Dr. Kim clearly cares deeply about her patients' well-being and is dedicated to helping them live healthier, happier lives. My health has improved significantly under her care, and I feel better than ever. read more

The service is excellent at 7 Sages Acupuncture. The staff is very friendly, helpful and efficient. Dr. Kim is very caring and listens carefully as to what areas need attention. The site is immaculately clean, and they always run on time. It is great to get treatment at such a well run business. read more

7 Sages Acupuncture & Herbs is professional, clean, and comfortable. Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and really cares about her patients. Coning here weekly has really helped me manage my anxiety and stress. Highly recommend. read more

I had always been curious and unsure about acupuncture and how it could benefit me until a very good friend of mine recommended that I come in for a consultation, given their vastly improved quality of life being a result of visiting Kim. I came in because I had been under a lot of stress due to many years of overworking myself (thusly causing prolonged fatigue and hypertension) and figured I could give this a shot because other avenues didn't quite yield long term solutions. First and foremost, Kim was straightforward and transparent with her care plan for me. She constantly and consistently checks in with you and monitors your health and well-being to ensure that the care that she provides is the right path or requires adjusting. Best part is that she challenges you to also do for yourself, because at the end of the day, you can easily undo days/months/years of progress if you don't hold yourself accountable! Each visit is absolutely amazing -- from the moment you walk in, Derek greets you genuinely and kindly and gives you the attention one would expect from a spa. Kim comes through and works her magic and ensures you are well cared for and whatever it is you came in for is addressed before you have your moment of rest. You will never feel forced or rushed through the process. When I slip into rest and awaken, I often cannot describe how rejuvenated I feel because it's on a whole different level -- sometimes I would feel so relaxed, it's as if I had a full night's sleep condensed into an hour session. It is the very definition of a PROPER RESET! Furthermore, given that Kim has helped significantly reduce my body's response to stress and anxiety, I have had such amazing sleep after only a couple of months of coming in. If you have been pondering on acupuncture and what it can do for you, I highly recommend that you come in and meet with Kim and Derek. They are both amazing human beings, and are attentive, and most importantly, focused on and dedicated to the care they provide for their clients. Thanks for everything, 7 Sages! read more

I was recommended here by a friend. I admit it took me about a year to actually go, but after I got Covid, I felt like I needed to really take dads is myself mentally and physically. The intake form took me about 30 minutes but it's worth taking the time to really take time to do it. The consultation very thorough and addressed a lot of issues I have been dealing with. Kim is knowledgeable and personal and knows what she is doing. I've changed my diet and really worked on what will help me long term. I have seen visible improvements to my weight and honestly, sleeping for 45 minutes after work is so nice. I am doing weekly treatments and it's one of those weekly things I actually look forward to. I would recommend anyone to try if you are curious about acupuncture. It's not just about physical pain but there's a lot of other benefits emotionally as well. read more

Kim is professional and friendly. She is also very knowledgeable about health and gives good advice. Her assistant Derrick is very personable and fun to talk to. I've been going to 7 Sages Acupuncture for a few months, very satisfied. read more

Highly recommend! Everyone here is friendly and the acupuncturist is so knowledgeable about many different things, I also appreciate it when they know a lot about herbs and can compound them, themselves. I've been going consistently for almost a year and I definitely notice a difference and feel a lot better than when I started. I still go in from time to time for a "tune up". Thank you to everyone at 7 sages acupuncture! read more

Words cannot express the level of gratitude I have for 7 Sages Acupuncture. Kim has taken care of me through extremely difficult times and eased my body into recovery post surgery. She always is willing to listen and eager to give advice that is easy to implement. I am in tune with my body from her expertise. The facility is clean, warm, and inviting. I love the care I receive there and highly recommend it. read more

I suffered a lower body injury that required surgery and kept me off my feet for months. Kim was a huge part of my healing process and helped me get back on my feet and moving forward sooner than I expected. read more

Great office experience, welcoming and supportive environment. Kim is extremely knowledgeably and precise with her treatment approach. Her integrative view of health as a hole is bringing me closer to being in a balanced state of emotions, nutrition, self care. , accupuncture is helping me lower my stress levels and manage high blood pressure. It is balancing my nervous system which I struggled for decades to control. Very thankful for Kim. read more

Thank you Kim for helping me through my IVF process. She helped me not only to warm up my uterus to prepare for my IVF process but also keep my energy level up! And I finally got pregnant after 8 years trying! Going to Kim treatment is a big commitment and I see why it works! Most of my other acupuncturists only required 1 a week treatment and for Kim, she has her own protocol to go 2-3 times a week. At first, i thought it was too much as its not only expensive but time commitment too. After 6 months of treatment, my IVF process went very smooth and my body also felt so much stronger. I have been trying many acupuncturists from Dr Lee (who passed away in Irvine) to several in my areas. I can tell Kim is very skilled and experienced when placing the needles for my treatment. Her office is very organized and cleaned! There are so many rooms and the booking appointment process is super easy and flexible by Derek. Even she has a lot of clients but you never feel they 're overbooking and packed in the room. That makes the place peaceful! One special thing about the studio, there is a very good energy from children when you get treatments there. I sometimes feel down and want to give up with my infertility, but once i am in her studio, my desire of having children is back. It's weird to say but if you want to try to get pregnant, her place has a very good energy for children! Best wishes to you all who trying to have babies read more

I am so glad I came across 7 sages during my search for a licensed acupuncturist. Though one should never judge a book by its cover, in this case the cover and the content were great. As soon as I called to inquire about services offered, Derek was welcoming and professional. He answered all of my questions, helped me book my first appointment, and sent a friendly reminder of my upcoming appointment. As soon as I met with Kim, she took the time to get to know me, to listen to my concerns, and to set a wellness plan that addresses my health concerns. Throughout the duration of our sessions, Kim consistently provided a great service and continued to assess my overall well-being to modify treatments as necessary. Kim helped me achieve my goal of reducing and managing my stress level. I always felt relaxed during each session and reinvigorated after. She certainly has a healing touch and a caring spirit. The clinic ambiance is inviting and serene. Each room has a comfortable setting and is always clean and relaxing. I also like the system they use to send appointment reminders and service receipts, and it allows them to book my appointments in advance. I highly recommend 7 Sages and appreciate Kim's great care for my wellness. Leen read more

Kim is absolutely amazing! If you're in need of any kind of treatment I highly recommend going to 7 Sages to solve the issues.

Kim is an amazing acupuncturist! She makes you feel comfy, safe and is very caring. I was very skeptical about getting treatments at first because I wasn't sure it would work for me. Then I decided to just go for it and try it out. Kim has been treating me since January 2021. So far, she helped me regulate my cycles, helped me get rid of my migraines, and more! She's a miracle worker. If you make time and go consistently to get treatment, you'd get a higher chance of positive results. :) Her clinic is super clean and the rooms are super comfy! I always look forward to going to my appointment! Thank you, Kim, for all that you do for me! read more

Like most people who seek out acupuncture, I was dealing with a sudden onset of a health issue that I had no idea how to treat. It was daunting to realize it might be chronic and I'd just have to live with it. Kim's "program" is unique and I feel her main focus is consistency in appointments. This is really where she differs from other places. I went about 3x a week, then 2x a week, and then it tapers off depending on your symptoms. 20+ sessions later, I am completely rid of my health issue and feeling renewed. Realistically, I attribute it to other things I also do b/c restoring my health was really a multi-faceted problem. But without a doubt acupuncture played a big role in that. Kim looks at the underlying issues and the big picture. She's efficient with her appointments, compassionate, and very knowledgeable (I ask a lot of questions). Also shout out to Derek at the front desk who is helpful and patient! I recommend adding 7 Sages to your tool kit if you're dealing with anything that's hard to treat or you feel you've tried every conventional health thing. I'm now doing maintenance once a week and it's really nice to come to de-stress for 45 minutes. read more

Just wanted to give an update to my initial review... and here she is! Life is more meaningful and I know for a fact that I wouldn't have been able to have her if it weren't for Kim! So if you're looking for a Fertility Accupuncturist, I would definitely give Kim a try first. Just remember that it takes time and doesn't happen over night. Good luck! read more

My husband and I had been trying to conceive for about 2 years before we found Kim. We were previously going through a fertility clinic and when a few rounds of Clomid didn't work, we were advised to try IUI/IVF; but we really wanted to be able to conceive as naturally as possible. On our consultation with Kim, she set realistic expectations for us and didn't make us any promises. All she asked from us was at least a 6 month commitment, and then we would re-evaluate our situation and options. To be completely transparent, I was skeptical for most of my treatments. I come from a medical background, so I usually rely on labs and diagnostics for answers. And because I couldn't physically see or feel changes, I wasn't sure if the treatments were working. Around month 5 of my treatment plan, I started to feel very anxious and hopeless - for multiple reasons: we still weren't pregnant; we hadn't researched, decided, or even saved up for IUI/IVF; and just the general idea of "losing" more time. Kim was really quick to pick up on my concerns, and even quicker to reassure me that my feelings were normal. Overcoming my own mental state and trusting the process was the biggest challenge for me. But in September we found out we were pregnant! And ever since, I have become a firm believer in Kim and her knowledge/work. I'm continuing acupuncture throughout my pregnancy, and Kim helps me through any symptoms I experience (bloating, insomnia, back pain, etc). I don't know how to show Kim and the 7 Sages family how immensely grateful we are! Fertility is a difficult journey for any individual and/or couple; but Kim gave us hope and patience and understanding. And anyone going through the same situation needs that kind of support. read more

I've been treated by Kim for a few years now and recently lost my mom. I went in for my routine appt and she asked me how I was doing. I told her about my loss. I was a well of emotions and she knew exactly how to treat me. She did her ninja magic and left the room. Immediately a rush of feelings came over me, my eyes swelled with tears and I began to sob. It was such a dump of emotions and it felt so good releasing it. After, she asked how I was feeling and I explained what happened. She asked if I felt any better and I said yes, lighter. It was exactly what I needed. Her intuition and method are on point. Thanks Kim for all your kindness & awareness. read more

I've been seeing Kim for more than four months and I am following her to the beautiful new clinic in Orange because I her treatments (accupuncture and herbs) continue to guide my body to optimum health. She is always gentle in her touch and explanations which means so much to me as a very sensitive person. I leave every session with a lighter and relaxed feeling! If you're thinking if trying a session, don't wait, you won't be disappointed! read more

I followed Kim even though she moved a little further away. I feel she truly cares about my wellbeing and that I can be the best version of myself. She's not content with things being "okay". She wants things better, or better yet, gone. I suffer from a variety of ailments: sleep issues, an autoimmune disorder, and headaches - to name a few. I've seen a change in the better since starting acupuncture, but even more so with the addition of the herbs. This was probably the best decision I've made in my journey towards self-care. read more

I started seeing Kim on 08/2020. I actually was just looking to do a few sessions to help me with my next round of IVF as I heard acupuncture "can help." When I did my consultation with her- she told me she recommended at least 6 months of acupuncture weekly before doing another round of IVF. This totally conflicted with my instructions from the doctor I was seeing, as we were going to begin Egg Retrieval #2 the next week. I had no viable embryos with the first egg retrieval we did. The doctor told me that it was due to my "poor egg quality." After having a melt down in Kim's office because she recommended I wait at least 6 months & come in for weekly treatments- while the doctor was ready to proceed with a second round... I took the night to sleep on it & reevaluate my situation. I'm also a RN, so after reviewing that my FSH was through the roof after the egg retreival at 16.2 (the FSH for post menopausal patients!) --I began to think that our fertility doctor did not have my best interest. I knew that the outcome of a second egg retrieval would not be good with such high FSH & my body really needed a break from all the hormones. I went with my gut feeling, cancelled the cycle, & started seeing Kim every week. At first, I couldn't even lay there for 30 mins. My body was used to "the fight or flight" and didn't know how to get into the "rest & digest" mode. The first 3 months were crazy- Kim was telling me she was "regulating my cycle & purging all the hormones in my system." At this point, I don't think I really believed anything was happening, I just kept going to appointments because it was helping me relax. Then after 4-5 months, my cycle was back to normal, and my stress levels had decreased. With a clearer mind, I looked up other doctors' success rates & changed REI doctors. After seeing a new REI doctor and running some labs, I found out my FSH had improved: 06/2020 it was 9.2, 08/2020 it was 16.2, and on 04/2021 it was 8.5. It was at this moment that I knew acupuncture works. Kim essentially helped my body flush out all of the IVF hormones & brought down my FSH levels. I also noticed my immune system improving; I stayed healthy and didn't get a cold for 16 months. After 8 months of seeing Kim, we proceeded with our 2nd egg retrieval on 04/2021 and had a MUCH better outcome. I even tolerated the IVF medications MUCH better this time around- I was not nearly as depleted and exhausted. Kim also showed me the sites to inject so I would feel less pain. We did our Frozen Embryo Transfer on 10/2021, I saw Kim before & after the transfer. I took a pregnancy test just 4 days after the transfer and already saw a faint line. The craziest thing was, I didn't tell Kim that I had been taking pregnancy tests pretty much every day to see a line progression-- and she felt my pulse, got teary eyed, and SHE JUST KNEW I WAS PREGNANT. It's been a 3 year journey for us to get pregnant, but I wholeheartedly believe that acupuncture has increased our chances, if not given us a better outcome with IVF. Bear in mind though that you can't just have 1 or 5 sessions, it's a commitment to come in consistently. I am now 20 weeks pregnant, and I experienced ONE episode of nausea/vomiting/heartburn. I actually had no symptoms of pregnancy, that it worried me-- many people have told me I'm one of the "lucky ones" but I believe that the reason why I did not have any morning sickness with this pregnancy is because my body was balanced. If you're looking for fertility coach & speciality acupuncturist, Kim's it. Also, her office is super cute & sound machines in every room help you zen out. read more

Kim is AMAZING!! I started seeing Kim in January 2020 for fertility reasons. I've always been treated with friendliness, respect, and kindness. Fertility is a personal passion of hers and it SHOWS. She's proactive and positive in her approach. Pairing acupuncture and herbs she customizes it all to your unique body and needs. Amazing! In my time seeing her I went from not ovulating or getting my period (thanks PCOS) to having both every month REGULARLY. A huge win! I cannot recommend her enough!! read more

I started Kim's fertility program about 11 months ago. I was struggling to get pregnant and I was told by a fertility doctor that my best option was IVF. I really wasn't ready to try IVF, so I started searching for alternative options. One of my friends told me about Kim so I decided to give accupuncture a try. Kim's fertility program seems intense at first glance, but it really works. Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and she is deeply caring and understanding about infertility issues. She was able to balance my hormones, regulate my cycles and after 7 months of working with her, I got pregnant! I am currently in my second trimester and Kim is still helping me throughout my pregnancy and I feel great. I truly cannot thank Kim enough for everything that she has done for me and I highly recommend her. If you are trying to get pregnant and thinking about trying her program, stop thinking and just go for it, you won't regret it! read more

Very disappointed in the level of care I received from Kim during my last visit. I've been coming here for a few years now and I've trusted her through some of the toughest parts of my fertility journey and I'm just shocked at how my last appointment went. Coming back into her office after moving back to the area was a completely different experience than what I'm used to. I was informed the prices have gone up which is very understandable, but pricing a "fertility" related session $150 per session is just wild especially since you're expected to go three times a week during current ivf related treatments. She gave me an option to pay $4200 upfront for 36 sessions and the price per session would drop a bit. After explaining this is a huge expense on top of IVF bills and I would need to talk to my husband she preceded to tell me this is the only way I would achieve my goals and that she is the only fertility acupuncture specialist in the United States.. AND that's where she lost me. Kim could definitely tell I wasnt feeling the pitch so she started giving me her success rates for 'natural conception' and how high her rates are yet I've been coming for years and had never had a positive pregnancy test on her protocol. Also giving an IVF patient who knowingly only has half her reproductive organs these natural conception statistics really doesn't apply to me. Lastly when we went to start what I knew would be my last acu appointment with her she so very sarcastically said " You know kids are very expensive once they're here" like WOW I'm sorry I had no idea kids are expensive? any ways I've thought back on all my appointments with her and the moments I've come to her with questions or concerns if certain things would be for me she was always very condescending and basically always questioned me with "why would you need that?" Instead of informing me. This totally feels like a break up since I've been going to her for so long but know the level of care I deserve and this isn't it. read more

I have been seeing Kim for the past few months. This was my first ever experience with acupuncture. I started seeing her for stress and anxiety. After this first few visits I started feeling much better and so relaxed after my visits. I go in weekly to see her and look forward to my visits. Always feel so relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Kim is very knowledgeable and address any concerns I have and offers solutions and treatments when I am in her office. read more

Great first experience. The office was easy to find with easy parking. The office is nice and clean and fresh. The staff is very kind. The consultation was efficient and the course of treatment easy to understand. I look forward to my next sessoon. read more

I've been seeing Kim for about 4 months and she's been amazing more like a personal life coach in this journey. My husband and I are having trouble conceiving a child so I seek Kim to help me balance my body. She's very knowledgeable and doesn't force any supplements or herbs on me. She makes it clear that it's my journey and also provides helpful recommendations. I'm not pregnant yet but I have seen amazing changes in my periods and my stress has gradually been lowering. If your serious about taking a natural approach or starting your fertility journey I would highly recommend Kim . It's not easy and I've been trying to be as patient as possible because it takes time. However Kim is always there being my biggest supporter. She will help you in every way she can . read more

She is professional, patient, knowledgeable, skilled + caring. Can't ask for a better wellness provider! Her Balance Method is nothing short of magic and gave me instant relief to my tailbone injury from a hoverboard incident as I was sitting in her chair. I got 50 needles in my face to help with stubborn signs of aging, and I can't wait for the next 50! Her approach to cosmetic acupuncture is truly holistic, as she treats the body along with the face. read more

Glad I finally went to see an acupuncturist! I'm a super skeptic before going and thinking that "what? little needles are going to help me? doubt it". Ha. I was wrong. go figure. Glad I am though because WFH due to the pandemic and sitting at my desk all day really tense up my shoulders and was hurting. 7 Sages (Kim) is a wonderful acupuncturist who is really attentive to what I needed to feel better and provided me a recommended plan to follow. Kim has been treating me for 2x week for almost a year and I enjoy going back as I have horrible posture at home which would undoubtabley be worst if it weren't for her help. Her practice is also clean, calming, and relaxing which is a must for me. read more

Found 7 Sages after being disappointed with another acupuncture practice. For me, 7 Sages not only eased my neck & back discomfort, they truly delivered on a relaxing experience by ensuring impressive professionalism, thoughtfulness and friendliness throughout each visit. The first time I called to inquire about their services, Derek was patient and attentive to answer all my questions even though I didn't immediately book an appointment. The level of front desk customer service has continued to remain consistently outstanding as I'm now two months into my sessions. I've never had any difficulty getting a hold of someone & scheduling appointments which is a huge relief since these are such a norm/common pain points. On top of that, parking is a breeze which further helps ease one into a relaxing mindset when stepping through the door of 7 Sages. I usually arrive up to 15 minutes early and I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes. Similar to my experience with Derek, Kim is also just as consistently amazing from my first consult to all the subsequent sessions. I don't feel rushed and she's quick to pick up on small tweaks to each session based on what I share. Once I'm all needled up, Kim is mindful of making sure she's leaving me in a comfortable state with soothing music, heat lamp for my feet, chair warmer for my pack, dimmed lighting to my liking and emergency call button. All in all, it's been so refreshing to feel well taken care of. I am extremely grateful to have found 7 Sages for my healing journey & I hope many more patients will be able to share in my experience as well. read more

Kim is by the far the BEST acupuncturist I have seen! She is so caring and truly wants her clients to feel better! She has specifically helped me with my fatigue, stress, anxiety, hormone balance, menstrual cycle, and acne! She uses the Balance Method and knows so much! I highly recommend her and am so grateful to have her as my acupuncturist!! read more

I have been going to Kim for a few months for fertility and she has helped balance and improve my menstrual cycles! I also recently sprained my ankle and had so much pain that I needed crutches to walk. I went to Kim to see if she could help. I walked into her office limping, and came out walking without pain! I have no idea how she does it. But it was amazing! If you are thinking of trying acupuncture, definitely see Kim! read more

I was pretty skeptical about acupuncture before meeting Kim. However, I have been seeing her for almost a year now for fertility and pregnancy (sometimes twice a week, sometimes once a week when I am too busy). After years of trying without success, I was finally able to conceive under Kim's care and when we found out I had placenta previa, she also managed to get it resolved so that I would be able to birth my baby naturally. Her skills are indeed amazing! She also just moved into a new office that is super cute, clean and relaxing. I will continue treating with Kim for the remaining duration of my pregnancy as well as future pregnancies. read more

Been to 7 Sages multiple times and each time it's been progress for me. Sometimes it's just a routine maintenance that I feel is important to keep your health in check. One time I got injured on my right shoulder and couldn't move it and called Kim for an emergency treatment. It took 3 days for me to heal but that's better than what I thought was going to take weeks. I am a big believer in holistic/alternative healing along with the right regiment with western medicine when necessary. Though out the years I have been to many masters who are knowledgeable at their crafts but Kim brings another side to not just acupuncture but another side of positive energy that is crucial to reaching deeper to your internal mechanisms of healing. This review has been long overdue and all I have are praises for Kim's practice and her use of qigong and acupuncture to get me happy and healthy. I love going to 7 Sages with its super clean environment and zen feeling which helps keep the daily stressors at bay. My biggest advice is keep patient and make the necessary changes that will help with your healing process. Slow down and know your own body and it will love the attention you have given it. Kim's healing method will get you back on track. Kim uses the balance method in her practiced. I'm sure she could explain better than me so I don't want to butcher the info here. read more

See all

Was very skeptic if Acupuncture would work for me after an on going back injury where I could not bend more than 45 degrees without feeling a sharp pain on my lower back. During the first session Kim was very welcoming and informative about the procedure and how her treatment works. I was blown away at how the pain went away during the first session and was able to fully bend without pain. I followed Kims advice and continued my sessions for a month until she felt they were no longer required. I would recommend 7 sages. read more
