About Inner Vitality

Dr. Kuntz immigrated from South Korea as a young child and grew up in California. She graduated with Honors in Biology at Stanford University, got her Medical Doctor degree from the University of California San Francisco, and completed her Residency in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle. She enjoyed over 18 years as a partner at the Bellevue ENT Clinic, with a particular interest in surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

After many years as a head and neck specialist, she had a growing attraction to Acupuncture and Functional Medicine with their whole-body focus. Dr. Kuntz completed a three-year Master’s program in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine at the Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine (formerly named Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine). She continues to enthusiastically pursue further education and certification to expand her areas of expertise, especially in Hormone Balance and Functional Medicine. She left Bellevue ENT Clinic to open her solo practice, implementing a non-surgical, integrated medicine paradigm. Bringing together Acupuncture and Functional Medicine modalities with Aesthetic Medicine, her mission is to promote health and beauty from the inside out.

When she is not in the office, Dr. Kuntz may be found exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her husband, dancing Salsa, enjoying hot yoga or hiking locally in search of medicinal plants.

If you call our office, Keisha is the unflappable person with the friendly voice who will schedule your appointment. Keisha grew up in Michigan where she developed a love for nature, animals and lake life.

In addition to spending time with family and friends, Keisha enjoys traveling anywhere and everywhere the opportunity takes her.
