WHO I AM AND WHAT I DO

About Me

​

I’m Jane Bae, a licensed acupuncturist with a background in psychology and a clinical, whole-body approach to care.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from NYU, followed by a Master’s degree in Acupuncture. This combined training allows me to work at the intersection of physical symptoms, nervous system regulation, and long-standing stress patterns that often contribute to chronic pain and imbalance.

​

My path into acupuncture was shaped by lived experience rather than a single defining moment. Growing up in Korea, acupuncture and East Asian medicine were a normal part of healthcare—commonly used for pain, illness, and recovery, especially when the body wasn’t responding to conventional approaches. As a child who was frequently sick, acupuncture was simply part of how care was accessed and understood.

Today, my practice reflects both perspectives: a Western foundation in psychology and physiology, and a traditional medical system that emphasizes regulation, balance, and adaptability.

​

What I Treat

Patients come in for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Acute and chronic pain

• Neck, shoulder, TMJ, and back tension

• Stress, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation

• Digestive issues and inflammation

• Hormonal imbalance and menstrual concerns

• Sleep disturbances and fatigue

• Chronic conditions that have not fully resolved

Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual rather than the diagnosis alone.

​

Clinical Approach & Training

My clinical approach draws from multiple acupuncture styles and methodologies, allowing treatments to be adjusted based on each patient’s condition, sensitivity, and response over time.

This includes training in:

• Korean Saam-style acupuncture, focused on internal balance and constitutional support

• Neuromuscular and motor point–based techniques for pain, injury, and chronic tension patterns

• Japanese-style acupuncture (Kiiko lineage), emphasizing palpation, precision, and responsiveness

• Auricular Medicine, a reflex-based system often used for complex or chronic conditions

Rather than applying a single technique to every patient, treatments evolve session by session based on progress and presentation.

Ongoing study and continued clinical training are an integral part of how I practice, ensuring care remains precise, thoughtful, and responsive.

​

Practice Philosophy

Acupuncture by Bae is intentionally designed as a calm, focused space for healing. Appointments are one-on-one, unrushed, and guided by precision rather than volume.

Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, support through stress, or a more balanced relationship with your body, my goal is to help you feel steadier, more functional, and more at ease over time.
