Allergy Testing Master Nagano passed away in 2003.

I have been involved in the health profession since 1994, my interest started while traveling in India, Nepal and Tibet, where I studied Ayurvedic Massage. On returning to Cairns, I studied Sports Massage & Natural Therapies, opening a clinic in Cairns, I quickly found many clients problems stemmed from not only the physical but also the emotional and nutritional aspects of their life which inspired me to move to Brisbane to study Traditional Chinese Medicine I complete a 4-year Advanced Diploma in Health Science (Acupuncture) and also Post Graduate studies in Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2001. I returned to NZ in 2001 and opened In Balance Health, I have treated a diverse range of medical conditions in this busy clinic for the past 21 years and continued to regularly attend a range of Post Graduate seminars and workshops. During this time, I was introduced to Master Nagano's style of Japanese Acupuncture, despite being blind he used his extraordinary palpation and pulse diagnosis skills to develop unique and ingenious acupuncture protocols for all types of conditions. He also became a mentor to two of the most important Japanese acupuncture teachers of our time: Master Acupuncturist Kiiko Matsumoto and Tsuyoshi Shimamura. My first seminar with Kiiko Matsumoto was in 2011, my education in "Kiikos Clinical Strategies" is ongoing, regularly attending seminars, workshops and webinars with Sensi Matsumoto, or her protégée Monika Kobylecka, held in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and Hawaii. In 2019 I completed a 4-year Legacy of Master Nagano's training program under Sensei Tsuyoshi Shimamura, who was a live in apprentice to Master Nagano in his final years. My Acupuncture treatments focus on the Nagano Lineage, I am honored to have had the opportunity to study with these masters, expanding my knowledge and developing tools to diagnose and treat individually and specific to health issues, thus providing a superior clinical outcome for my clients. I aim at facilitating people to become aware of the importance of restoring and maintaining their overall health and wellbeing. Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture)

Acupuncture works like medication … it’s dosage.
Regular acupuncture helps many systems in your body.

The science behind acupuncture!

There may not be one process that describes how acupuncture works scientifically. The body is comprised of multiple systems and therefore there may be more than one process engaged when acupuncture is given.

Numerous research studies suggest that acupuncture (and moxibustion) may activate neurohormonal pathways and trigger biochemical processes in the body. Within this view, ‘findings from basic medical research suggest that acupuncture stimulation causes the release of endorphins, serotonin, enkephalins, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the brain), norepinephrine, and dopamine’ (Lu & Lu, 2013).

Acupuncture needles seem to work by stimulating the specific nerve and biochemical processes that activate the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. For example, endorphins and Beta-Endorphins work by binding to opioid receptors in your brain to block the perception of pain, similar to opioid pain medications such as oxycodone or morphine.

In other recent studies, acupuncture decreases pain by reducing pro-inflammatory markers or proteins in the body. For example, a study by Lim et al. (2016) suggests that acupuncture can decrease pro-inflammatory markers — including TNF and IL-1β — in the body, in turn lowering inflammation and reducing pain.

Another study from Zhao et al. (2015) suggests something similar in the imbalance between Th17 and Treg cells in the disruption of intestinal homeostasis in Crohn’s Disease. This study demonstrates that acupuncture and moxibustion ‘reduced the number of TH17 cells and inhibited the expression of TH17-related molecules IL-17 and RORγt in the intestinal mucosa. It also increased the number of Treg cells and the expression of Treg-specific transcription factor FOXP3, thus restoring the ratio of the two cell types.’
