I went to see Chiemi after doctors and specialists had told me there wasn't anything else they could do for me. A combination of herbs and acupuncture resolved my issue. I was so happy that I went to see Chiemi. I have recently gone back for more acupuncture after many sessions at the osteo and already my muscle tightness and pain has lessened. Chiemi is very gentle, every session I have had with her has been nothing but relaxing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and professional acupuncturist.

I have been to many acupuncturists over the past 20 years and Chiemi has the most gentle technique of all- I hardly notice when she puts the needles in. I have also had great success with all her treatments which proves that it doesnt have to hurt to be effective, and the room has a very relaxing atmosphere so I always feel refreshed after each visit.

My daughter and I have been seeing Chiemi for Japanese Acupuncture for many years, she is calm, thoughtful, very structured and thorough in her approach. She has seen me through many things, particularly a severe bout of depression and anxiety. Her expertise in womens health is amazing, my symptoms during menopause were lessened and I felt great relief from her needles, as well as the Chinese herbs she dispensed. My daughter has gone from experiencing severe period pain and heavy bleeding that left her in bed for days, to being able to function well at that time of the month. I really value
