Research-backed, intuition-led
Modern neurobiology and traditional East Asian Medicine point at the same body. I use both lenses, and I'm not afraid of the woo when it earns its place.
Meet Nina Hi, I'm Nina.
Licensed acupuncturist, NCCAOM Diplomate, holistic strength coach, and mother. I support women's hormonal and emotional health from conception to postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.
My work is rooted in East Asian Medicine and informed by modern neurobiology. I see the body as a map of resilience — and my job is to help you read your own.
My mission To provide health and wellness services for women, like me, who don't shy away from the intensity of life — women who want to rest more, stress less, and feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Why this work
I've been on the other side of this table.
Becoming a mother is what showed me how depleted I'd let myself get. Fertility, postpartum, the slow rebuild after my body had given so much.
The women I work with are often somewhere along that same arc. The practice I built is the one I wish I'd had access to.
My story
From overachiever to embodied.
In my twenties, I was disconnected from who I truly was. I sought validation from the outside world and pushed myself relentlessly. My body told me what my mind wouldn't admit: acne, bloating, restlessness, irregular cycles, poor sleep.
In my late twenties, I discovered strength training. Lifting heavy taught me something my schedule never had: that you can change your outcomes by optimizing your inputs. I got stronger. I built better habits. And I realized that to feel better in mind and body, I needed to take nutrition, sleep, and bodywork as seriously as I took the gym.
That's how I found my soul calling — East Asian Medicine. I combined fitness with the ancient learnings of Traditional Chinese Medicine to re-educate my body and mind. Instead of pushing harder, I learned to listen.
JungWay is what came out of that work. It's where I help other women do the same — gain control of their hormones, regulate their nervous systems, and redefine what it means to be successful.
My approach
Research and intuition. Both, every time.
Full-service care
Acupuncture is one piece. Sessions also draw on cupping, gua sha, herbs, and lifestyle work — sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition stay in the conversation.
Accountability
I'll meet you where you are, and I'll also nudge you past your comfort zone when the moment calls for it. My strength is walking with you from where you are to where you want to be.
What to expect over time
This is the long game.
Acupuncture has a cumulative effect. Acute concerns can resolve in a few sessions; fertility, pregnancy, and perimenopause work tend to be longer arcs. Most of my patients work with me over months — and for fertility journeys, sometimes a year.
That's not a sales line. It's the actual shape of the work. We're retraining the nervous system, recalibrating hormones, and building rituals that hold up between visits. None of that happens in a single session.
At your first visit we'll set realistic expectations together. Some weeks you'll come weekly; some seasons we'll space things out. The goal isn't to live at my office — it's for the visits to land deep enough that you can carry the work home with you.
