⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had shoulder pain for a long time, probably from my painting job. I tried physio and chiropractic, but the pain just wouldn’t go away. Then I went to see Gwen for acupuncture, and it made such a big difference! I felt so much relief and totally relaxed during the treatment. Honestly, her treatment has been the best so far. Highly recommend her!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
By receiving regular body care and check-ups from Yoshi, the stiffness in my body has eased, and the flexibility around my joints has improved. As a result, the quality of my sleep has improved, and both my mental and physical condition have stabilized.
Having my body observed over the long term allows me to become aware of changes in my condition and receive guidance on the necessity of treatments. I would like to continue receiving check-ups for the ongoing care of my body.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I injured my right shoulder at work and had been struggling with pain and limited mobility for several weeks.
I felt relief immediately after the first treatment from Yoshi, and after a few sessions my range of motion improved, allowing me to work without any issues.
The explanations are thorough, and the precise approach that considers the whole body gives a great sense of reassurance.
In addition, the sessions also gently address the mind, helping me feel deeply relaxed each time.
Yoshi truly understands the root of the pain and helps restore balance to both body and mind.
I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing physical or mental discomfort.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The cough that I had been suffering from for several years has almost disappeared. I used to cough constantly, both during the day and at night, probably around 200 times a day. After the very first treatment from Yoshi, my symptoms were reduced by half, and after three treatments, they improved to about one-tenth of what they were. My cigarette and alcohol consumption also decreased, which made me feel happier. Both the duration and quality of my sleep have improved, and I feel less irritable.
I had never received acupuncture before, so I was a little scared at first, but the treatment was almost painless and very reassuring. My whole body was checked, and I am grateful that the treatment also addressed my lower back pain and fatigue, not just the cough.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Five years ago, I experienced severe lower back pain when getting in and out of my car, to the point where I thought many times about quitting my job. During that difficult time, I received acupuncture, moxibustion, and massage treatments from Yoshi.
Since it was my first time trying acupuncture, I was filled with anxiety. However, to my surprise, the treatment Yoshi provided to me was completely painless, allowing me to relax and receive it with peace of mind.
Rather than focusing only on the painful area, he treated my whole body and worked to identify the root cause of my discomfort.
Yoshi pointed out not only my physical issues—such as poor posture, unbalanced diet, and uneven shoe wear—but also the effects of stress from my relationships and lifestyle habits.
During the massage sessions, there were moments of sharp pain when certain pressure points were pressed, but after several treatments, the pain gradually disappeared, and I began to feel much better.
He even reviewed my health check results, offered detailed advice, and recommended supplements to address nutritional deficiencies.
At every visit, Yoshi carefully assessed my condition, found the underlying causes, and provided genuinely attentive care. He also supported my emotional well-being, encouraging me to incorporate a 30-minute daily stretching routine, which has helped me develop healthier habits and achieve a more balanced lifestyle.
Now, I’m living with renewed vitality and a clear goal—to stay healthy and enjoy life fully until the age of 90.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“It was my first time getting acupuncture because of stress from studying for my uni, but Gwen was very gentle, the needles were basically painless and really helped ease my stress levels”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Gwen is an exceptional acupuncturist whose warm and welcoming atmosphere always puts me at ease before and during each treatment. After years of dealing with stubborn elbow pain from martial arts practice, the discomfort completely disappeared after just three sessions with her. Thanks to Gwen, I’m now pain-free and able to fully enjoy my training again”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Gwen is, without a doubt, one of the best acupuncturists I’ve ever known. For years, I saw her exceptional skills and her relevant approach to taking care of patients in a way that truly made a difference. Her move to this new clinic is fantastic news for the community. Highly, highly recommended—you are in the best hands! “
This treatment begins with a consultation to gather relevant information from your health history and gain further understanding of your body’s current condition by inspecting your pulses, eyes and tongue. Based on this information and your desired outcome, acupuncture is utilised to clear blockages, encourage normal flow of Qi and address any muscular tension. Our acupuncturists will use a combination of different styles of acupuncture needles, moxibustion, cupping, acupressure, Gua Sha and acupuncture electrical stimulation.
Our Premier Specialist combines Traditional Japanese Medicine techniques with Acupuncture, Shiatsu / Anma Massage, Acupressure, Cupping, Myotherapy, and Physiotherapy techniques. This innovative, holistic and restorative treatment combines stretching and musculoskeletal massage. By moving the muscle into a gentle stretch, the deeper muscles, ligaments and tendons are drawn to the surface allowing for a deeper release in tension. Your therapist works along the muscle from origin to insertion to lengthen and realign the entire body. Tailored to address your individual condition, this is ideal for chronic complaints such as muscle tightness, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, whiplash, neck and back pain, sciatica, headaches and sports injuries.

Shiatsu, meaning ‘finger pressure’, is a Japanese form of bodywork. With a continuous rhythmic sequence, thumbs, fingers and palms are used to apply localised pressure along your meridian channels to promote the flow of Qi and release blockages. An excellent treatment to promote circulation and calm the nervous system.
