Body as instrument — a living bioelectric exchange, hands to skin. This therapy is for anyone carrying something the body has not yet been able to release.
TENS — transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation: low-frequency current delivered through the skin, the same principle behind the units used in physical therapy.
What makes it bio — the current passes through the practitioner’s body before it reaches yours (통전), hands to skin.
Where it works — the fascia, the nervous system, and the bioelectric field running through them.
How it feels — something like a micro-current: a deep vibration, an inner massage.
What it does — deep muscle and fascia soften, circulation returns, and the nervous system finds its way back to its natural flow.
Who it’s for — anyone carrying something the body has not yet been able to release.
What is Bio-TENS therapy?
A look inside a session
Shiona Lee
about the practitioner
trained at Mi Chae Um
Shiona was trained in this therapy at Mi Chae Um (미채움), a practice founded in Korea by two PhD doctors, Yang Jian and Yang Su Kyung, whose foundational belief is: “When every organ, muscle, tendon, and ligament is in its right place and functioning well, the body can do what it was designed to do.”
She continues training with her teachers in Korea, and brings to this work a long desire to inhabit her body honestly — not to perform wellness, but to actually live inside it.

what makes it different
Why this cannot be replicated
Bio-TENS is not a device applied to you. It is a conduction between two bodies, and both of them matter.
The exchange
Body as instrument
The current does not travel from a machine into you. It passes through my body first, which makes every session a genuine exchange — your condition and mine both shape how it conducts. No two sessions are the same, and no device on its own reproduces what happens between two bodies.
Rare in the US
The equipment & the conductor
The equipment is Korean and is not sold in the United States. It is also not something you simply switch on: conducting safely depends on the practitioner’s own built-up capacity, which comes only from working with it regularly. The training and the practice are part of the instrument.

It’s such a game changer! I literally feel my body slowly go back to the posture it should be. So much of my inflammation and puffiness is gone already, after just two sessions! I have energy to exercise, so I’ve been more consistent — it’s exactly what I needed to help jumpstart a positive cycle. I’m so grateful!

FAQ
Please bathe or shower beforehand and wear clothing that allows comfortable access to the area that needs work. A shower is available at the studio. Drink plenty of water before and after.
No. Most clients feel warmth, a soft tingling, or gentle muscle contractions — all expected, and always adjusted to your comfort.
Current conducts through direct contact. Pads connect the practitioner and recipient, allowing the bioelectric current to flow between them.
Please consider rescheduling. Your body needs to be receptive to conduct the current well. There is no penalty with 12 hours’ notice.
A standard TENS unit sends current from a device straight into your skin. Here it flows through the practitioner’s body first — body as instrument, a living bioelectric exchange rather than a machine treatment. Every session is held with full presence, care, and attunement. What you receive is warm, intentional, and deeply personal.
