針 | Acupuncture

In my practice, I use Japanese-style acupuncture which incorporates a unique form of abdominal (“Hara” in Japanese) diagnosis with gentle acupuncture techniques.

Acupuncture is a time-honoured approach that provides effective treatment for a variety of health conditions.

灸 | Moxibustion

A therapeutic technique used in Japanese style acupuncture. Moxibustion involves using the medicinal herb mugwort to transfer heat into the body.

Gently applying the burning mugwort onto the skin induces a variety of changes in the body, such as circulation, that aids the healing process.
