[2026 100 Therapists Interview] Director Lee Mi-jeong, Daom Mediwall Pilates (Jeongseon, Gangwon)
¡°Even when test results are ¡®normal,¡¯ life can collapse—whole-person recovery bridges that gap.¡±
Some people go to the hospital because their body hurts. Others stop because their mind is exhausted. And some lose their rhythm of life for no clear reason. Director Lee Mi-jeong, whom we met at Daom Mediwall Pilates in Jeongseon, says these different forms of suffering often share one root: whole-person depletion that occurs when the balance of body, emotions, and the nervous system breaks down. ¡°Recovery is not about fixing one part,¡± she explains. ¡°It¡¯s about re-aligning the entire system.¡±
Her approach began with a question that stayed with her during eight years as a registered nurse at Korea University Ansan Hospital: ¡°If the test results are normal, why is this person still suffering?¡± She repeatedly met people whose bodies appeared fine, yet their minds were falling apart—people who rested but whose nervous systems never truly ¡°powered down.¡± That question eventually converged into one compass point: How can a person recover completely? It has shaped everything she has pursued since—training, research, education, and writing.
Q. Congratulations on being selected as one of IAIT¡¯s 100 Therapists for 2026. How do you feel?
A. More than a personal achievement, it feels like confirmation of what the field is asking for: healing must be integrated. I¡¯ve seen many cases where burnout, emotional depletion, and insomnia—suffering that feels ¡°hard to explain¡±—actually begin with nervous-system overload and a collapsed recovery rhythm. This selection feels like a responsibility to organize what we know with evidence and share it more widely.
Q. What is the core of your therapeutic model?
A. I weave movement, breath, meditation, sound, and neuroscience into one coherent system. In practice, I¡¯ve often seen that ¡°just yoga,¡± ¡°just Pilates,¡± or ¡°just singing bowls¡± isn¡¯t enough for lasting recovery. So I connect anatomy, rehabilitation, and fascia work with Yoga Nidra and breath-based regulation, the vibrational input of singing bowl therapy, and neurophysiological indicators such as HRV and EEG. The key is to design—clearly and logically—why a particular combination is needed for this person.
Q. How did your hospital experience shape your current work?
A. It anchored me in safety and ethics. Every client has a different physical condition, stress response, and recovery speed. A nursing foundation helps me avoid over-intervention and, when needed, guide clients to medical evaluation and collaborate appropriately. I believe healing should never replace medicine—it should connect people to healthier living pathways in a safe, responsible way.
Q. Your research activity stands out. What are you focusing on?
A. I want to explain burnout and nervous-system overload not only as ¡°feelings,¡± but with evidence. I conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effects of singing bowl therapy, and presented my findings at the IAIT Summer Conference under the title: ¡°Effects of Singing Bowl Therapy on Modern Burnout Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.¡± Going forward, I aim to accumulate more HRV- and EEG-based data and develop protocols that are reproducible in real practice.
Q. How do you structure programs in the field?
A. I work with a flow of ¡°detoxification–stabilization–re-education–routine integration.¡± First, we check digestion, breathing depth, and elimination rhythms. Then we stabilize the nervous system using singing bowls, Yoga Nidra, and breathwork. On that stable base, we add Pilates/rehabilitation movement and Mediwall-based alignment and sensory training to restore function. The final step is designing daily routines—because recovery is completed in life, not only in class.
Q. As an educator and author, why do you emphasize documentation and publishing?
A. For healing to last, it needs language and records. Through books such as *Is Burnout Only Me?*, *From Energy Depletion to Recovery*, and *Ding! Stress OUT—Calm IN with Singing Bowl Therapy*, I¡¯ve structured field experience into teachable frameworks. With *The Effects of Singing Bowl Therapy on Emotional Healing: Collected Research Papers 1*, I made evidence publicly accessible. In the end, supporting someone¡¯s recovery is not about ¡°good words¡±—it¡¯s about leaving behind standards that others can reproduce safely.
Q. What is one practical check readers can start today?
A. Three questions are enough: (1) Can my breath settle comfortably down into the abdomen? (2) After eating, does my belly feel more comfortable—or heavier and tighter? (3) After sufficient sleep, do I actually feel recovered? If even one is blocked, the body often sends signals such as pain, insomnia, or emotional volatility. Don¡¯t ignore the signal. Start by redesigning a small daily routine.
Director Lee Mi-jeong describes her identity this way: ¡°A practitioner-researcher of integrative healing who connects clinical understanding with movement, meditation and sound, neuroscience and education—helping modern people recover their body, mind, and nervous system from burnout and emotional exhaustion.¡± It is not a list of activities, but a single purpose expressed through a coherent system. From a studio in Jeongseon, her whole-person recovery model is steadily evolving into a standard that can be proven—and repeated—in the field.
