While working as a systems engineer at NEC-G, Yoshie discovered yoga to balance her busy lifestyle. It proved so helpful that she became a certified instructor, eventually becoming the Head yoga instructor at Oriental Works. Seeking a more health-focused way of life, she obtained a Japanese national license to practice Oriental Medicine Therapy (Anma, Massage, Shiatsu, Acupuncture, and Moxibustion) and began providing home visit treatments. Eventually, she left her IT career and opened a healing clinic, where she now practices acupuncture, moxibustion, and massage therapy, Aroma oil.

We define "beauty is health," and we named our clinic "Belle" to express our desire to provide treatment that will "RIng the Bell(e)" to awaken your innner beauty (=health) of our clients from the inside out.

Concept

We want to heal the "ME -BYO" (presymptomatic disease)
We want to provide treatment that will stay with each and every one of our clients throughout their lives so that their lives will shine brightly. In order to achieve this, we will prevent the onset of illness and its signs (such as complaints), and even if an illness does occur, we will correct the pre-symptomatic state so that the client can recover early and appropriately.

Improvement of resilience
We will remove the debt of fatigue and restore the client's original resilience so that he/she can sleep deeply. This will remove years of accumulated fatigue and return the client to his or her original state.

Deep Relaxation
We believe that when the mind and body are relaxed and at peace, the autonomic nervous system is regulated, which improves blood flow, sleep quality, and other health and beauty benefits. We explore our manners and techniques daily so that we can offer our clients the most relaxing place and treatment in the world.

About Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Massage

I am afraid of acupuncture.!

There is no denying that acupuncture is scary. However, most people are surprised at how good it feels and how effective the treatment is once they receive it. Even if you are afraid of acupuncture, we hope you will try our treatment.

What are the effects of acupuncture?
Are acupuncture needles painful? Generally, acupuncture needles of around 0.16 mm are used to improve blood flow, alleviate pain, and enhance immunity. It is known that stimulating a part of the body with acupuncture needles releases hormones (endogenous opioids) that have a morphine-like role in the central nervous system. Although each person perceives pain differently, since a needle thinner than that used for blood collection (1.2 mm) is used, it can be said that strong pain is not common. The amount of stimulation can be adjusted, so please ask for this at the time of treatment.

How does moxibustion work?
Is moxibustion hot? Moxa is used to warm up the body, improve blood flow, increase white blood cells, and strengthen the immune system. The ingredient of moxa (cineole) is expected to have analgesic and sedative effects. We mainly use warm and comfortable moxa acupuncture (moxa is placed on top of acupuncture needles to warm the body by radiant heat) and sen-nenkyu (moxa on a pedestal). We perform the treatment after assessing the client's physical condition and skin condition, so there is no need to worry about burns, etc.

Is there any firmer reaction to massage? We do not deny firmer massage, but we try to provide massage that does not cause firmer massage. We do not recommend our clinic to those who want to receive a strong massage anyway.
