About the Practitioner
Hello, I’m Eri Ito
Practitioner of Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine
(BSc Hons, PDip)
I offer personalised, whole-person care through acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Shiatsu.
My approach looks beyond individual symptoms to understand the wider picture — including lifestyle, stress, emotions, past experiences, constitution and other factors that may be affecting your wellbeing.
Drawing on the principles of traditional East Asian medicine, I tailor each treatment to the individual, while valuing the important role of conventional healthcare.
