I grew up in Korea but always hoped to study in Europe to find out what I was born to do.

My mission trip to India, at a young age, made me want to become a health professional so I could to help people in need. My mentor who was one of the top 5 neck surgeons in UK recommended for me to study 'osteopathic medicine' because he was receiving osteopathic treatments for his neck pain and was impressed by the hands-on care. Through osteopathy he was able to manage the pain without medication, injection and even surgery.
​
When I visited to the osteopathic college in London for the first time, I felt immediately that I was born to become an osteopath. I was so amazed to see how efficiently physical body frames support physiological functions within the body. I saw how osteopathy helps the body balance immune reaction, pain control and physical movements. 
​
My PhD research on post-operative rehabilitation using osteopathic treatments after spinal surgery showed that gentle osteopathic approaches not only reduced the pain but also improved body functions leading to better recovery.  
​
Using my clinical experiences and my research, I now emphasise the importance of prevention, by improving the posture. Good posture enhances blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, nerve conduction and musculoskeletal balance. This leads to pain relief, enhanced immune function and both mind and body relaxation.

In this modern world, we often regret the choices we have made in the past about our health. It is so important to focus on what we can do now to slowly, yet joyfully, maintain the precious health that impacts our everyday life—and it starts with preserving our body’s ‘nature-centered posture’.
