Approach: I combine traditional Chinese acupuncture with a gentle yet effective style known as Toyohari Japanese acupuncture & highly refined Japanese mugwort (moxa) for deeply restorative treatments. Each session is tailored to you and your health goals.
Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural self-healing mechanisms by targeting specific acupoints along the meridians, which are known as energy pathways. When fine, sterile/disposable needles are inserted into these points, they send signals to the nervous system, triggering the release of neurotransmitters, endorphins, and hormones that reduce pain, inflammation, and stress. This process enhances blood circulation, boosts immune function, and restores balance to organ systems. By improving energy flow knows as Qi and promoting relaxation, acupuncture helps the body heal itself more efficiently, addressing physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Toyohari Japanese Acupuncture - How does it work?
Toyohari Japanese acupuncture is a refined method developed by Kodo Fukushima, a renowned blind acupuncturist who founded the Toyohari Association over 40 years ago. Rooted in classical Chinese medical texts that are more than 2,000 years old, Toyohari integrates ancient wisdom with gentle, precise techniques.
This approach often involves the use of non-inseting tools made from various metals, such as gold, silver, stainless steel, copper, and zinc magnets. A distinctive feature of Toyohari is contact needling, where the needle is lightly placed on the skin without penetrating it—offering a painless and subtle yet effective form of treatment.
Japanese moxibustion is incorporated in the treatments - Traditional use of highly refined quality mugwort from Japan to support healing & increase the effectiveness for a variety of conditons & pain
* Japanese Toyohari acupuncture is gentle yet effective and suitable for everyone and especially favourable for people with HSP - highly sensitive people, a fear of needles, senior citizens and more...
Your healing journey starts with an initial intake to address your health concerns while gathering the information needed to customize your acupuncture session.
Assessment before treatment may include abdominal palpation, palpation to specific muscular areas, observation of features including the tongue, and pulse analysis, ensuring a thorough evaluation.

Frequency of treatments
While acupuncture may provide noticeable results quickly for some, however, it is not commonly known as a quick fix.
Everyone responds differently to acupuncture depending on age, constitution, sensitivity, the condition itself, length of time of the complaint whether it is an acute or a chronic conditon.
A certain consistency is required.
A treatment plan depending on condition is generally advised to assess progress and to aim for optimal results.
