    • About the Clinic

    Clinic entrance

    Qiraku Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine is located in the heart of New Farm, Brisbane, just 2 km east of Brisbane CBD.

    Our name "QIRAKU (Kiraku in Japanese)" translates as "comfortable" and is composed of the kanji 気 (Ki, Qi) meaning "energy" and 楽 (raku) meaning "comfortable/at ease".
    We offer treatments using Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Warm needle therapy, and Chinese Herbal Medicine (Kampo).

    • We offer gentle acupuncture in a relax setting. Most clients find the treatments very relaxing, and even fall asleep during the sessions.
    • We can offer NO needle treatments for children ( Shonishin ) and people with needlephobia.
    • Each client is unique. Different clients may require different treatments, even if they present with the same western diagnosis. Treatments are made for each individual.

    Chiemi has completed her Bachelor of Health Science through the Australian College of Natural Medicine in Brisbane in 2006, and has also completed her post-diploma course in Shonishin (children's non invasive acupuncture) and Japanese style acupuncture in Australia and Japan.

    She has completed an internship with a prominent acupuncturist in Japan who has particular interest in infertility.

    After working with a renowned Traditional Chinese Medicine Professor, she worked at the clinic with acupuncturists, a naturopath, and massage therapists for several years and learned different techniques and approaches to Chinese medicine.

    She combines Japanese and Chinese style acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese herbal medicine (single granule herb combination for individual needs) and Warm Needle Therapy.
