In my practice, I use gentle Japanese acupuncture techniques that prioritises your comfort. The finer, thinner needles allow precise, minimal insertion making the treatment both soothing and non-invasive. Subtle techniques like gentle rotations or vibrations help balance your energy (Qi) without discomfort. Each session goes beyond immediate concerns, exploring deeper imbalances—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—that impact your overall health.

"Tomoko is the only person I trust in the whole world for acupuncture. Having been to many therapists before, she is the only one who never leaves you in the room whilst the needles are in. The fact that she does a shiatsu massage in combination with the acupuncture is incredible. She is highly experienced and has helped me so much with a chronic neck condition as well as balancing my hormones. I continue to recommend her to everyone that I meet. Above all she is warm hearted and one of the nicest people I have ever met. I recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you Tomoko for providing such a thorough and amazing service!"
"Truly Healing experiences. I went to have treatment for childhood trauma. As a man, it was a challenging step for me. I am glad I did this, as it has changed my life for the better. Tomoko asked many questions during the assessment to ascertain the appropriate treatment. So, I have now been seeing Tomoko for more than a year regularly to treat my PTSD and trauma and have excellent facial treatments. I am better and will continue to work with Tomoko, as acupuncture is best in the long term for my issues. Slow but steady releases whilst also in talking therapy. It's a good investment for me. "

She has a holistic individual approach and takes the time to listen to what the patient has to say , ensuring she understands every concern and symptom before proceeding with treatment. Tomoko is very committed and caring with her patients. I couldn’t recommend her more. "
"I've been having acupuncture sessions with Tomoko for the past 10 years. She's never asked me for a review but I decided to offer her one anyway. I really think she deserves it given her amazing holistic and professional attitude. Tomoko's treatment is tailor made which is how she is able to deeply connect with me on a physical, mental and energetic level. Over the years I have been recommending her to all my friends, and I recommend her to anyone reading this review too - I'm sure you won't regret it!"
