She now incorporates the beautiful Japanese techniques with Classical Five Element Acupuncture, a style that focuses on spiritual and emotional healing. She has a particular interest in treating stress, back pain, emotional trauma, fertility, pregnancy and headaches. She also uses Chinese Medicine, Holistic Counselling and HypnoBirthing where appropriate. Catherine is fully qualified and registered, and has trained both in Australia and Japan with Master practitioners. She brings her wealth of experience and knowledge, together with her gentle and caring nature to each treatment.
SERVICES
Traditional Japanese Acupuncture is a powerfully effective healing modality that employs very gentle techniques that have been developed with your optimum comfort in mind. My treatments are tailored to your individual needs in order to bring your body, mind and spirit back into balance.
In 2011 I undertook further studies and completed an advanced course in Classical Five Element Acupuncture. This style of acupuncture, also based on the ancient classics, has helped me to take my clients further inside themselves to a very sacred healing place, as I continue to master these very advanced techniques.
I use disposable needles that are almost as fine as a single hair and barely insert the needles into the skin, making the treatments extremely relaxing and relatively pain-free for you.
I also use Moxibustion extensively, adding further depth to my treatments. Moxibustion is the practice of burning the Chinese herb ‘moxa’ or ‘artemisia vulgaris’ either directly or indirectly to specific points on the body. The warmth and healing properties of the moxa herb stimulate and energise affected areas and associated meridians, as well as creating a very soothing effect.
I am a fully qualified and registered practitioner of Acupuncture. I combine my gentle and caring nature with my extensive training both here and in Japan with Master practitioners to help my clients to return to a more balanced state of health. I am particularly passionate about treating stress, back pain, emotional trauma, fertility, pregnancy and headaches. My non-invasive subtle techniques along with a focus on the emotional state allow my clients to be fully relaxed and for their bodies to heal at a deep level.
Traditional Japanese Acupuncture may benefit the following:
stress
back pain (lower, upper, neck)
emotional imbalances (anxiety, depression, etc)
fertility issues and other gynaecological problems
pregnancy support
headaches & migraines
sleep problems
lack of energy
I have been in practice for 10 years, and have been based in East Kew for 8 of those. Many of my clients come on a regular basis for general wellbeing as part of an ongoing preventative health program, as they feel the benefits of this relaxing and therapeutic modality. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to experience better health and wellbeing.
