🌿 Meet Sunae Son, L.Ac, M.S.O.M. – Trusted Licensed Acupuncturist in Chicago & Northbrook, IL
Sunae Son, L.Ac, M.S.O.M. is a trusted licensed acupuncturist in Chicago & Northbrook, IL, known for her leadership in integrative Eastern and Western medicine. With over a decade of clinical experience, she blends evidence-based biomedical knowledge with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to provide personalized, compassionate care that promotes long-term wellness.
🌸 Bridging Science and Holistic Healing
Born and raised in South Korea in a large, close-knit family, Sunae developed a lifelong curiosity for science and healing. She earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Physics and Life Science & Biotechnology from Kyung-Buk National University, then pursued Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, conducting extensive laboratory research.
Although she excelled in biomedical studies, her desire to help people directly inspired a shift toward holistic medicine. In 2010, she completed a Master’s degree in Oriental Medicine and a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition at the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine, becoming the sixth licensed acupuncturist in her family.
🌿 Over a Decade of Integrative Clinical Experience
Sunae began her professional career in 2011 as Head Acupuncturist and Herbalist at Acu-Med Integrative Medicine in Waukesha, WI, where she treated chronic pain and complex conditions using acupuncture, cupping, Tuina, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and nutritional counseling in collaboration with chiropractors.
Later, as Lead Acupuncturist at AdCare Acupuncture and Wellness in Niles, IL, she focused on hormonal balance, fertility support, stress management, and digestive health.
Today, she brings her compassionate, holistic expertise to Chicago’s River North community, helping patients achieve balance through Holistic Women’s Health Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
🌸 Philosophy of Care: Healing from the Root
Sunae’s guiding philosophy is simple: heal from the inside out.
“The body is like a tree — if the roots aren’t healthy, the branches can’t flourish.”
Drawing on both her Eastern heritage and Western scientific background, she treats the root causes of illness, not just the symptoms. Her care empowers patients with education, preventive strategies, and personalized treatment plans that nurture long-term well-being.
🌿 Life Beyond the Clinic
A clean-living advocate, Sunae enjoys preparing traditional Asian meals with organic ingredients and practicing yoga, Pilates, and daily mindful walking. Her personal wellness habits reflect the same balance and intention she encourages in her patients.
