the Pelvic Bowl: A Deep Dive into Integrative Healing with Dr. Seonim Cho
On episode two of The Pelvic Bowl podcast, Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture sits down with Dr. Seonim Cho, a board-certified acupuncturist whose gentle wisdom and clinical depth shine through every word of her journey. Practicing in Washington, DC and northern Virginia, Dr. Cho shares how pelvic care transformed not just her clinical outcomes—but her entire approach to medicine.
Before discovering pelvic floor care, Dr. Cho found herself overwhelmed trying to address widespread pain patterns in one session. She realized that much of what her patients were experiencing pointed toward a deeper root: the pelvis. This discovery led her to advanced training in integrative pelvic care, forever shifting her work from surface-level symptom relief to core healing.
Key Insights from the Conversation:
✨ The Pelvis as the Root: Dr. Cho describes the pelvis as the foundation of the body—when misaligned or tense, it impacts the entire system. By focusing on the pelvic floor, she now achieves more effective results using fewer needles.
✨ Clinical Case Breakthroughs: She shares two powerful stories—one of a woman whose pain decreased dramatically after just one pelvic session, and another of a man whose pelvic-focused care alleviated chronic pain and emotional stress. These cases exemplify the deep mind-body connection central to pelvic acupuncture.
✨ Community & Continued Learning: Dr. Cho reflects on the importance of community through the Pelvic Acu Grand Rounds, where practitioners come together to share cases, support each other, and grow their clinical knowledge.
✨ A Cross-Cultural Journey: With roots in Korea and a career in both Eastern and Western health systems, Dr. Cho's story is one of lifelong learning, humility, and dedication. From volunteering in hospitals to running her own private practices, her path is filled with compassion and curiosity.
Dr. Couture and Dr. Cho’s dialogue is a testament to how pelvic-focused acupuncture is not just a specialty—it’s a calling. Their shared passion invites other acupuncturists to consider pelvic care as a gateway to treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
