Hello
My name is Don
An acupuncturist and self-treatment specialist.
About Me
Hello, I am Don Kim acupuncturist and self treatment specialist.
I am also a husband and a father and I love living in New Zealand where I now call home.
I came to New Zealand in 2000 with my wife, we have been married for 37 years and my two adult children are now living in Invercargill and Melbourne.
​
When I arrived I was the founding director of ‘Hamilton College of Oriental Medicine’ . This is where I started my journey in the beautiful country of New Zealand. Now I continue my journey from Queenstown as acupuncturist and self treatment specialist and a teacher of Korean Hand Therapy (KHT).
My wish is to share my 35 years of knowledge especially with cancer patients and to see them improve cancers themselves while enjoying quality life with their loved ones. I also like to teach to anyone KHT with which they can improve many conditions themselves easily and safely.
​
I look forward to hearing from you and sharing decades of my unique experience and expertise before retirement so you can achieve the very best health and therefore have a wonderful life.
Thank you
With kindness
Don
