Japanese Acupuncture In Melbourne

Japanese Acupuncture
At Eltham Acupuncture, Catherine Kato offers a holistic and personalised approach to health through the gentle art of Japanese Acupuncture.
Japanese Acupuncture works by bringing the energy or Qi that flows through the body’s 12 main meridians back into balance and harmony.
There are 365 points on the main meridians.
Catherine uses disposable needles and the moxa herb to stimulate the points.
The disposable needles that Catherine uses are almost as fine as a single hair and are barely inserted into the skin, making the treatments extremely relaxing and relatively pain-free for you.
What Does an Acupuncture Treatment Include?
Each Japanese Acupuncture session is uniquely designed to support your body, mind, and spirit. Catherine draws on an array of techniques and therapies to create a holistic treatment plan. These may include:
- Gentle Needling: Ultra-fine needles are used with minimal insertion to stimulate energy pathways while ensuring your comfort.
- Moxibustion: This traditional heat therapy uses warming herbs to enhance circulation, alleviate pain, and support overall vitality.
- Five Elements Integration: Catherine blends Japanese Acupuncture with Classical 5 Elements Acupuncture, a style that emphasizes the emotional and spiritual aspects of healing.
- Energy Clearing: For those facing emotional or energetic blocks, Catherine offers an extended session to identify and release stagnant energy, promoting clarity and renewal.
