Naoki Ota B.H.Sc.TCM
AHPRA registered Acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner
Naoki Ota works with adults and children, offering gentle, individualised care in a calm and welcoming setting.
He practises Japanese-style acupuncture using minimal needles with very shallow, careful insertion. This gentle approach is particularly suited to people who feel nervous about needles or prefer a softer treatment experience.
Naoki has a particular interest in emotional wellbeing, supporting people experiencing stress, trauma, low mood, anger and feeling overwhelmed. His approach considers the connection between emotional and physical health, with treatment tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
Initial consultations are approximately 60 minutes and include a detailed health discussion and traditional assessments such as pulse and abdominal palpation. Treatment may include acupuncture, herbs and practical self-care advice.
Naoki aims to create a grounded, supportive space where patients of all ages can work towards greater balance and wellbeing.
