Biography, continued
Toyohari acupuncture differs from most other forms of the therapy in that it uses a more delicate treatment method, placing great emphasis on the use of pulse diagnosis and palpation skills. It is gentle, painless and includes non-insertive options.
Lee-Anne is committed on continual learning and has undertaken studies in Esoteric Acupuncture; Five Element Acupuncture; Fertility, IVF and pregnancy support; Shonishin paediatric acupuncture and cosmetic acupuncture (facial rejuvenation). She has substantial experience in supporting patients suffering from many conditions including many types of chronic pain, chronic fatigue, anxiety and stress, Multiple Sclerosis, diabetes and cancer. Lee-Anne also supports patients looking for natural fertility options, pregnancy support (pre and post-natal), as well as helping babies and children to be strong and healthy.
In looking for additional ways to help her patients, Lee-Anne completed the Kampo Internship in 2022.
