哲学 | philosophy
“As an acupuncturist, it is my goal to take you to a place where you feel the sense of health that is within all of us.”
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.
整体 | lifestyle guidance
My goal is to return you to balance. Besides using acupuncture I will offer you advice for creating a deeper and meaningful approach to health by promoting a balanced lifestyle.

Every condition is different, and the course of treatment depends on whether the health concern is acute or chronic. Generally, patients feel relief after the first treatment and, in acute cases, can respond well within a few treatments. With chronic conditions, relief can take up to six to ten regular sessions to see consistent and lasting change. During our initial acupuncture visit we will discuss your treatment plan and expectations.
