Acupuncture has been used in China and other Asian countries for several thousand years to treat illness and promote well-being. In other countries, different styles of acupuncture were developed to meet the specific needs of people from their cultures. In Japan, acupuncture was developed to suit the sensibilities and constitution of the Japanese people - using thinner needles and shallower insertion to perform much milder stimulation than any other styles of acupuncture.
The Japanese acupuncture theory and needle technique can be applied to anyone of any age, including infants and elders. The foundation of Oriental medicine is the belief that there are invisible energy pathways called meridians flowing throughout our bodies, almost like railways. The traditional Japanese acupuncture, also called Meridian Therapy, uses these pathways to diagnose and treat health problems.
We look at the entire railways first to find out which route causes stagnagtion of energy flow and seek a specific acupuncture point by palpation to release the stagnation.

After graduating from Meiji College of Oriental Medicine (the name changed to Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College) in Berkeley, California with the degree of Master of Science in Oriental Medicine in 2001, Ms. Okabe worked at Village Acupuncture/Center for Optimum Health in Roseville, California as an associate acupuncturist, where she managed to see and treat up to 60 patients per day.
The high volume of patients was precious experience for her as the patients' medical conditions were so diverse, that she gained valuable knowledge on how to identify and treat various medical conditions through reading the meridians of the body.

Due to her gentle needling technique, almost all the children are looking forward to coming to acupuncture treatments.
