Services
Acupuncture
Japanese-style acupuncture uses hair-fine needles to stimulate energy flow and alleviate pain. Our gentle yet effective Meridian Therapy approach addresses chronic conditions, stress, and musculoskeletal issues. Therapists tailor sessions to individual needs, making treatments suitable for all ages while promoting natural healing processes through balanced Ki energy.
Remedial Massage
Targeted remedial massage combines deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to address muscle pain and tension. Sessions improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. Therapists customise pressure and techniques to treat specific conditions like frozen shoulder, lower back pain, and sports injuries while promoting overall relaxation.
Facial Dry Needling
This cosmetic therapy involves micro-needling to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. Treatments reduce fine lines, improve elasticity, and address tension-related conditions like TMJ pain. Sessions combine therapeutic benefits with aesthetic improvements, using sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries that activate the body's natural healing response.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu applies rhythmic pressure to acupuncture points to balance energy flow and relieve muscular tension. Therapists use palm and thumb techniques to address stress, improve circulation, and enhance flexibility. Treatments can be performed through clothing, making this accessible for clients seeking non-oily massage options with deep therapeutic benefits.
Sound Therapy
Singing Ring sound therapy uses harmonic overtones to induce meditative states and reduce stress. Vibrational frequencies resonate with brainwaves to improve sleep quality and emotional balance. Sessions combine auditory stimulation with relaxation techniques, offering a unique approach to mental clarity and physical rejuvenation through Japanese healing instruments.

Best in Chatswood. Small but very clean, professional and friendly. Good communication. Book with Nori. She's small but mighty! She will find and address all your knots etc. I recommend the 75 min full body massage. Pregnancy massage is also fantastic.
