Gentle needles. Lasting balance.
Patti Polman practices Hari, a refined style of Japanese acupuncture that uses fine gold and silver needles which barely touch the skin. Paired with sound healing and Chinese herbs, it's care that feels calm from the first visit, for adults and children alike.
Three traditions, one quiet hour
Chinese medicine reads the body's messages to understand what it needs. Each treatment combines the approaches that suit you, and Patti explains what she's finding so you can take part in your own healing.
Hari Japanese acupuncture
A gentle, non-invasive needling style. Gold and silver needles touch or are only superficially inserted at points, guided by your pulse and abdomen as the treatment unfolds.
Acutonics sound healing
Precision tuning forks applied to acupuncture points and Tibetan singing bowls on the body use vibration to move energy without needles.
Chinese herbal medicine
Traditional formulas tailored to your pattern, appropriate for both adults and children, alongside practical diet and lifestyle guidance.
Why patients choose Japanese acupuncture
If needles have kept you away, this is the style to try. Hari treatments are soft enough that many people fall asleep on the table.
Acupuncture sees health as the natural result of balanced energy. When that energy is blocked, weakened or stagnant, symptoms appear: physical, mental or emotional. Treatment helps the body return to balance so it can heal on its own. It also works well simply as care for general health and wellbeing.
