Discover the Healing Art of Japanese Acupuncture

Japanese acupuncture is a time-honored practice with deep roots in ancient Chinese techniques. Passed down through generations and thoughtfully adapted to meet contemporary wellness needs, it stands as one of the seven essential pillars of traditional Chinese medicine, alongside herbal medicine, tui na or shiatsu (bodywork), and qi gong/tai chi (exercise and breath work), moxibustion (heat therapy), and cupping (suction therapy). This art has flourished across Asia and into the Western world, evolving unique specialties that reflect the rich tapestry of its global journey.

Welcome to Japanese Acupuncture with Jennifer Cariño, L.Ac.

A Gentle Approach to Healing

What distinguishes Japanese acupuncture is its graceful, gentle approach to needle insertion, a method lovingly passed down to me through the lineage of the esteemed Sensei Koji Ichihashi. Designed to be exceedingly comfortable and nearly painless, this technique invites relaxation and receptivity. 

Personalized Treatments for Your Wellness Journey

In my practice, I blend this gentle needle technique with a Western, palpation-based diagnosis and treatment approach, crafting personalized treatments that empower you to actively engage in your healing journey. Traditional Chinese medicine has proven effective in treating a diverse array of conditions, from chronic pain to digestive challenges and even cosmetic applications. 

Embrace Wellness with Japanese Acupuncture

Embracing Japanese acupuncture can lead you to improved health and vibrant well-being. I invite you to receive this thousands-year-old medicine, handed down through generations of masters, passed through my sensei (teacher), and shared with me.
