The Treatment

Three techniques, one seamless treatment.

01

Japanese Acupuncture

Virtually painless micro-needles — far finer than Western acupuncture — with hand-crafted moxibustion. They calm the nervous system and reach tension that massage alone cannot.

02

Therapeutic Oil Massage

A restorative, deeply relaxing massage that melts away deep muscle tension and dramatically boosts blood and lymph circulation — the blissful half of every session.

03

Seitai Bodywork

Gentle structural bodywork that rebalances posture and releases deep-seated tension, so the results of each treatment hold for longer.

Therapist · Tokyo-trained

Haruki Sakai

Trained in Tokyo, I learned early that lasting relief rarely comes from one technique alone. Over the years I shaped my own way of working — weaving Japanese acupuncture, a restorative oil massage, and seitai into a single, unhurried treatment, adapted to the body in front of me.

Some clients come with a clear complaint — a stiff neck, a sports injury, a back that never quite settles. Others simply arrive exhausted and unable to switch off. In each case I work beneath the symptom: releasing tension, settling the nervous system, and restoring circulation — so you leave feeling deeply rested and genuinely lighter.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does Japanese acupuncture hurt?

It uses ultra-fine needles and a very gentle insertion — most people feel little to nothing. It suits those who are sensitive to needles.

What can Haruki’s treatment help with?

He combines Japanese acupuncture, therapeutic oil massage and seitai — for chronic neck, shoulder and back pain, sports injuries and deep muscle tension, as well as stress, sleep problems, fatigue, and digestive or hormonal balance. It supports the body; it is not a substitute for medical care when that is needed.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the complaint and how long it has been there. Haruki will give you a realistic sense of this after your first appointment.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed to book an acupuncture appointment.

Which languages does Haruki work in?

Japanese and English.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

Let us know at least 24 hours in advance and there’s no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours are charged at 50% of the treatment fee, and a no-show at the full fee — these are not reimbursed by your insurer. See our cancellation policy for details.
