“I had a stiff shoulder, so I tried acupuncture with Kanako. She diagnosed it as a muscle tension issue. The treatment was relaxing, and I felt looser right after. After a few sessions, my shoulder felt way better. I could move it more freely, and the stiffness was almost gone.

I went to see Kanako because I was struggling with PMS symptoms like cramping, bloating, and mood swings. Kanako explained that these symptoms can be related to hormone imbalances, which acupuncture can help regulate. I wennt her session 3 times and my cramps were less intense, and I felt more emotionally stable.

I was struggling with acne, and I tried acupuncture with Kanako and she pointed out the acne relates to my internal heat. Probably, I had stress since I started a new job recently. I took her session sometimes and she told me what foods are related to my acne. Kanako is incredible person, and I'd recommend her if you are suffering from skin problem.

I tried acupuncture for my pollen allergies, and it was great! Kanako is nice and explained everything well. The treatment was relaxing, and I felt better almost right away. After a few sessions, my sneezing and congestion improved a lot. I didn't need to use my allergy meds as often. I'd totally recommend her to anyone with pollen allergies!

One of the most noticeable benefits I experienced after my acupuncture session was a reduction in my usual aches and pains. I felt a sense of relief and relaxation that lasted long after the session ended.

I recently tried acupuncture with Kanako and was surprised by how relaxing it was! Despite my initial skepticism about having needles inserted into my skin, the tiny needles used in acupuncture were hardly noticeable, and I left the session feeling incredibly calm and refreshed.

I’m very sensitive for pain, but the needle she used was Japanese style and very thin. So, I didn’t feel anything during session. But be careful, you can’t do anything after her session because I couldn't resist the drowsiness! lol

Shoutout to Dr. Kanako! She's the real deal! Had some nasty shoulder stiffness, stomach tension, and headaches, but her acupuncture magic did the trick. After just a few sessions, I felt way better – shoulders loose, no more tension, and headaches took a hike. Dr. Kanako's the go-to for effective and caring treatment. Highly recommend!
