SIMON YOON

Simon began his health journey with a Bachelor’s degree in Food Science and advanced his expertise in Five Element Acupuncture under Dr. Hongkyung Kim at Saam Acupuncture Institute in Korea and at the Toronto School of TCM. Specializing in Five Element Acupuncture, Simon focuses on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms.

He also apprenticed in Germany under the late Professor Saeyion Kim, founder of KSNS (Kim’s Safety Nerve System) therapy—a method combining muscle strength testing and acupressure massage to strengthen weak muscles and relieve pain. Brief KSNS acupressure is included in his acupuncture sessions.

With over 20 years of experience, Simon has helped many patients with challenging conditions who had not yet found relief. His practice integrates Five Element Acupuncture, KSNS acupressure massage, and stretch therapy, complemented by techniques such as scalpel needle therapy, cupping, guasha, bloodletting, deep tissue tuina/shiatsu, and Chinese herbal medicine when appropriate
