Acupuncture
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a time-honoured practice within Eastern medicine, used to support general wellbeing and address a wide range of health conditions. It works by regulating internal imbalances in the body while also calming the mind and emotions. Each treatment is tailored to the individual, taking into account both current concerns and underlying constitutional patterns.
During a session, fine, sterile, single-use needles are gently inserted at specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s innate healing response. Many patients report feeling deeply relaxed, emotionally grounded, or energetically uplifted following treatment.

Toyohari is a gentle and effective acupuncture style that is subtle and deeply relaxing. During a consultation, emphasis is placed on palpation of the body to determine a diagnosis and treatment plan. Specialised techniques incorporate shallow or non insertion of needles making this form of acupuncture excellent for sensitive patients, adolescents, and children. Accompanying treatments may include various bodywork techniques such as micro bleeding, cupping, and moxibustion.
