Board-certified in Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Dr. Ing-Jun Hwang runs Unity Heal, an acupuncture clinic at 2180 Garnet Ave Suite 1-i in 92109. The practice operates inside The Awareness Center, a shared wellness space on Pacific Beach’s main commercial corridor. Dr. Hwang completed her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and earned her NCCAOM diploma in 2023, and she is fluent in English and Mandarin. Her integrative approach draws on both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurvedic Medicine, with sessions that may include pulse reading, acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, Tui Na bodywork, Marma therapy, healing touch, and crystal bowl sound healing. Patients dealing with stress from demanding work schedules often complement their sessions with bodywork at Honest Bodywork, another Pacific Beach practice focused on therapeutic relief. Unity Heal identifies as both Asian-owned and women-owned and maintains a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 34 reviews. Clients praise Dr. Hwang’s calm demeanor, thorough questioning, and ability to address issues ranging from chronic back and knee pain to insomnia and anxiety. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s individual constitution and may combine several modalities in one session rather than following a fixed protocol. Appointments are required and can be booked online through the clinic’s scheduling portal. Those interested in a different tradition of needle-based healing can also explore SP Acu and Wellness on Del Rey Street, which combines acupuncture with massage and Reiki. Free parking is available in the building lot, along Garnet Avenue, and in nearby street spaces.
