About Tomomi

Tomomi (Tomo) Shibuya

R.Ac, R.TCM.P

Tomo is a Registered Acupuncturist and herbalist. Her healing journey began in her 20s as a result of her own chronic health issues. She studied herbalism and various modalities of alternative healing. She studied in Dominion Herbal college in 2001, and graduated from the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2006. As a practitioner since 2009, Tomo has integrated her own personal healing experiences combining her knowledge for holistic wellness.

Tomo’s approach to healing understands the inseparable connection between the body and mind, recognizing that symptoms are signals of imbalance. Tomo uses relatively thinner Japanese needles with a focus on subtle stimulation. The experience offers a gentle acupuncture session to promote circulation and balance the nervous system.

Tomo also offers moxibustion, a heat therapy that enhances the effect of needles. Moxibustion uses mugwort, an herb supportive for treating pain, anxiety, internal conditions, and women’s health. The herb, placed in cones on different areas of the meridians of the body, are warmed up to offer a pleasant heat to activate the herb’s healing benefits.

Overall, clients attend sessions with Tomo to treat physical symptoms of tension and pain, reduce stress, improve digestion, support immunity and so on.

During the sessions, Tomo may offer recommendations for dietary adjustments, herbal teas, or herbal tablets in support of the healing protocols specific to each client’s needs.

Tomo’s goal is to support each client to find a way to achieve optimal balance between their body and stress of everyday life with the goal to feel light in both body and mind.
