Chinese medicine sees your body as a whole, connected system. By balancing your energy (Qi), it supports natural healing, builds resilience, and promotes long-term wellbeing.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can support a wide range of physical, emotional, and developmental concerns. Treatments are personalised to help your body heal to restore balance and relieve symptoms.

Toyohari acupuncture is a Japanese form of Acupuncture. It is a highly refined form of acupuncture that uses less needles to get to the core of the imbalance in your body and resolve symptoms. Silver needles and other round ended tools are used to stimulate acupuncture points around the body, particularly on the limbs and torso. It is a gentle and pain free technique that leaves you feeling calm and centered.

Involves the use of cups that are applied with a mild suction onto the skin, creating a vacuum affect. Louie applies this technique very gently and uses it to balance Qi in the meridians and release areas of tension and pain.
-
Utilizes a dried herb, Ai Ye or mugwort, that is burnt on or near the skin to provide a very gentle heat sensation. Caution is practiced to ensure that the heat is only slightly felt, if felt at all.

Chinese herbal medicine utilizes dried plant and animal parts for their therapeutic affects. Louie only uses the highest quality organic, gluten free, plant based and non-GMO herbs. Herbal medicine can be used to support your body internally and can be used in many circumstances. Louie will discuss with you if it might be helpful.
Pediatric acupuncture (birth-17 years)
Louie uses Shonishin or “children’s needle” when treating children and babies. This uses round ended tools that are tapped or stroked on the surface of the skin to regulate Qi inside the body. This technique is suited for children as it is painless and does not require them to lie still. In fact, Shonishin treatments are a playful dance that are ultimately calming and fun for the child. They can be administered while the child is playing, crawling around or being held by their caregiver. These treatments meet the child where they are at and are appropriate for children of all ages, from birth to 17 years of age.
These gentle and effective treatments can assist with easing symptoms related to many childhood difficulties including but not limited to growth and development, sleep, anxiety, digestive, appetite and eating problems, asthma, skin rashes, attention difficulties, fatigue and recurrent infections.
