From the Concrete Jungle to Southern Pines - The KMU Wellness Journey

After 20 unforgettable years of healing, hustling, and thriving in the heart of New York City, the Kim-Uchida clan decided it was time for a bold new chapter. We traded in skyscrapers for sweet tea and set our sights on the suburban wilds of Duluth, Georgia.
With our SUV packed to the brim—filled with what we thought were the essentials (spoiler: half of it, not so essential)—we made the 14-hour pilgrimage south. Spirits high, playlist on point... only to arrive and discover our new office wasn’t quite a reality yet. Yep, not even built.
Cue the chaos. Picture a family with a touch of cabin fever, a dash of “did we just make a huge mistake?” energy, and a whole lot of faith. But we rolled up our sleeves and pushed through. Six months, countless construction hiccups, and a few too many budget surprises later, KMU Wellness Duluth was born.
Now open and thriving, our new flagship office in Duluth, GA carries the same heart, soul, and high-quality care that made us a staple in NYC—plus some exciting new upgrades. We’re open six days a week, with four serene treatment rooms and a cutting-edge full-body LED Therapy suite.
We’re also thrilled to introduce our brand-new membership program—designed to help you prioritize your wellness all month long with exclusive treatments and unbeatable value.
Our memberships are designed with your wellness in mind:
✨ Two free 45-minute acupuncture sessions per month
✨ Two free 25-minute LED Therapy sessions
✨ 30% off any additional treatments
So if you’re in the neighborhood—or even just passing through—swing by and say hello. We’d love to welcome you into our new home.
KMU Wellness — now bringing NYC vibes to the heart of Georgia.

I love this! I sure miss you both but so happy to witness your journey! We moved to Virginia last month so I get the shock in transition. Best of luck with the new adventure! Jac
What a wonderful adventure! I'm so happy for your new beginning, but will miss you all here in NYC. If I'm in Duluth, I'll be sure to stop by for a treatment!
