Aqua Tree Acupuncture and Oriental Healing

Meet Toshiko Kai of Aqua Tree

Toshiko Kai, R.Ac is a registered acupuncturist who offers traditional gentle Japanese acupuncture. She uses both gentle insertion and non-insertion techniques to help the body relax, release tension, and restore balance. To promote deep relaxation, she may also combine Reiki with acupuncture during treatments.

Toshiko has spent several months in India, where she worked in a Japanese acupuncture clinic. More recently, she studied Zen Shiatsu in Greece to deepen her understanding of relaxation and holistic healing.

She also offers facial rejuvenation acupuncture, using a variety of methods she studied in Japan, Canada, and the United States. These treatments support healthy skin while promoting overall well-being.

Her approach is gentle, calming, and centred on the body’s natural healing process. Toshiko is dedicated to helping people feel relaxed, refreshed, and more connected to themselves.

Toshiko speaks English and Japanese.

In addition to traditional acupuncture, Toshiko also incorporates unique Japanese techniques in her treatments.
One of the tools she often uses is the teishin — a traditional Japanese acupuncture instrument designed to gently stimulate the body without piercing the skin.

The teishin is completely non-invasive and pain-free, offering a calming way to support healing, making it especially suitable for children, sensitive individuals, and anyone who may feel hesitant about needles. In her practice, Toshiko combines the teishin with other gentle techniques to restore balance and harmony while keeping treatments deeply effective, comfortable, and relaxing.

Facial Rejuvenation

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that uses very thin needles to restore the body’s natural flow of energy (also called Qi or chi). It is a safe, natural way to treat a variety of conditions. Acupuncture has been in use for thousands of years and continues to help people today.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture combines body and facial points to restore balance, smooth fine lines, boost collagen, and bring out your natural glow. Gentle hands-on sculpting further reduces puffiness, tension, and asymmetry—for a refreshed, radiant look.
