What is Sound Healing?
Sound is the language of creation. Sound healing has been used since ancient times and is now being widely recognized as a valid form of therapy by the modern-day scientific and medical community. Sound is energy in motion. Everything is energy and each object vibrates at its own frequency and therefore has its own unique sound. Every cell in our body has its own unique sound and the well-being of our body is all about harmony. Illness is simply an experience of disharmony. The sound produced by the Tibetan singing bowls permeates our very beings facilitating not only harmony throughout our body and mind but also expands our consciousness.

Corinna Loo, L.Ac., MTOM
While working as an art director and designer, Corinna was diagnosed with a rare type of lymphoma. This began her journey into healing. Starting with her own body and mind, she began exploring different types of treatments and methods, which led her to begin her studies healing others. Drawing upon her own personal experience with illness, she is able to provide a deeply empathetic approach to clinical care.
She specializes in treating chronic illness rooted in trauma, stress, and toxic environments. Life events and toxins can be compactly stored in the tissues of the body and if left unaddressed, these tissues become "dysfunctional". Compassionate investigation of these dysfunctional areas is key to her unique and powerful treatment style.
Corinna graduated magna cum laude from UCLA. She earned her master’s degree with honors in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Emperor’s College of Oriental Medicine. Her education of Neijing Classical Acupuncture continues with Dr. Edward Neal, MD. She has assisted in oncology and acupuncture research at the Disney Family Cancer Center under Dr. Jung K. Kim, LAc. and Dr. Ora Gordon, MD and continues to work with patients recovering from chemotherapy alongside Dr. Jung K. Kim.
