Grace Cho L.Ac. is extensively trained in Contemporary Oriental Medicine (COM) & Contemporary Oriental Pulse Diagnosis (CCPD), which are the refined diagnosis systems taught by Dr John H.F. Shen, DOM and Dr Leon Hammer, MD. These special diagnosis systems allow Grace to diagnose and treat modern illnesses in the realm of body pains to mental emotional disorders. And since she is able to observe the details of body-mind-spirit connection, she can really customize the treatments according to each individual and prescribe herbs as needed.


At school, she was trained in all programs of:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (Pain management, Internal Medicine, Mental-emotional conditions, etc.)
  • COM (modern Psycho-Mental emotional disorders)
  • Other Oriental Medicines e.g. Korean medicine, Japanese acupuncture [KMSA], Scalp Acupuncture, etc.

 

Being interested in the research and science of health, Grace had first studied Bachelor of Medical Sciences at UNSW, Australia. This is a 3-year course in graduate medicine program in Australia. Upon completing the degree, she went to work in healthcare, complementary medicine, pharmaceutical, and clinical trials for 8 years. Then she was drawn to the practice of preventative medicine, the healing and a rising complementary medicine - namely, acupuncture and oriental medicine - for which she moved to the US to venture, study and practice. And now she has opened her own practice in Duluth in 2022, along with practicing at two other locations.


Growing up in New Zealand and Australia, Grace has cultivated the understanding of inner healing and appreciation of different peoples from around the world.  Together with her compassion, mixed in with her talents and experience, makes her a truly caring and skilled practitioner.


Currently, Grace is practicing at three locations in Atlanta, Georgia -

  • Grace Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine
  • Emory University Hospital - Emory Brain Health Center
  • Sierra Botanica & Collaborative Medicine
