Nina Jung is a Board-Certified Acupuncturist, Asian American Herbalist and Strength Coach.

Nina’s passion for women’s health started in her twenties, when she experienced various hormonal imbalances - adult acne, amenorrhea, constipation and anxiety. Unable to find a treatment that worked, she dedicated the next 8 years to studying movement, nutrition and East Asian Medicine to change how women view their body-mind. She is extremely passionate about integrating East Asian medicine healing with evidence-based practices in movement and neurobiology to help women optimize their big transitions and goals - career, pregnancy, postpartum, relationships, loss and life.

When she’s not heads down trying to change the standard of care for women, you’ll find Nina lifting heavy weights, eating lots of banana bread and walking around her local farmer’s market.
