I am dedicated to helping you be as active as you wish and live a pain-free life, whether the pain is emotional or physical. Whether you suffer from an acute or chronic condition or injury, I can work with you to lessen pain and speed healing.
I can work with you to bring your life back into balance through psychotherapy and/or acupuncture. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy you can learn to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors which leads to the vicious cycle of negative emotions or dysfunctional relationships. Acupuncture can help alleviate stress, improve mood, sleep and physical ailments without medications or work as an adjunctive treatment to your prescribed medications.



Think of it as your opportunity to form a partnership for better health. The more you take part in your healing process, the more successful it will be

The Acupuncture Center of La Jolla has been serving Southern California since 1989.

Throughout the years, we have worked as a part of the community to provide complementary methods of healing that best serve our patients. We coined the phrase, "Chinese Medicine for an American Lifestyle" back in 1989 to establish our desire to bring this most ancient form of healing into the modern world.

Just ask our patients. They are, after all, our biggest advocates. Ask any of their friends and family as well...more than likely, they are patients, too.

We invite you to come and experience the difference that acupuncture can make in your life.

I offer safe, natural healing through personalized acupuncture treatments at my clinic which is affiliated with Synergy Wellness, LLC, conveniently located at 2939 Kenny Road, Columbus, Ohio 43221. I have successfully treated back and shoulder pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, digestive issues, allergies, menopause symptoms, insomnia, stress, various sports injuries, cancer treatment side effects, and many other conditions. I grew up in Korea, where acupuncture and herbal medicine have a long history of use and are widely accepted as natural components of integrative medical treatment. All of my life, I have witnessed the amazing ability of acupuncture to cure or manage many health issues without negative side effects.

With nearly two decades of experience, Dr. Jiménez specializes in stress physiology, burnout recovery, nervous system dysregulation, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, and insomnia — particularly in high-achieving adults whose symptoms haven't fully resolved with conventional care.

Her integrative approach combines Classical Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, bio-energetic medicine, and functional physiology to identify and treat the root patterns behind persistent symptoms — not just manage them. She is trained in advanced techniques including Bio-Energetic Medicine, Total Body Modification (TBM), Evolutionary Quantum Healing Technique (EQHT), and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET).

Prior to clinical practice, Dr. Jiménez managed and developed clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies domestically and internationally — giving her a uniquely grounded perspective on both conventional and integrative medicine.
