Ear acupuncture (auriculotherapy)

This treatment fits well into a relaxation ritual, alternating with a vagus nerve massage or a Sound Healing Session. You can choose between soothing touch, a sound bath, and ear work, depending on your current needs.

Ayako then assesses the skin on your ears and selects the points and method of stimulation. Depending on the chosen range, she uses thin, sterile disposable needles or acupressure beads. During the procedure, you may feel local pressure, a brief sting, or tenderness—we continuously adjust the intensity to suit your sensitivity.

Ayako uses products specially imported from Japan, including small beads attached to the surface of the ear. Selected applications resemble delicate, beautiful jewelry—a subtle, decorative accent you can wear for several days after your session.

The beads can be left on the ears for several days, according to the product instructions and Ayako's recommendations. The beads do not pierce the skin. You will learn how to gently press them, care for them, and when to remove them. If irritation, itching, or soreness occurs, remove the application.

You may experience a sense of calm, relaxation, or a pleasant drowsiness. Reactions vary from person to person, so we consider your experiences and preferences during subsequent sessions. The relaxed pace and mindful ear work allow you to focus on the sensations flowing from your body. This is a time when you can set aside responsibilities, close your eyes, and allow yourself to rest. For some people, the most noticeable moment is a moment of peace, for others, a pleasant feeling of being cared for.

The small beads left on the ears allow for further, gentle stimulation of selected points, as instructed by Ayako. You can incorporate this little ritual into your daily routine—combining the prescribed pressure with a short break, calm breathing, and checking in on how you feel today.

Decorative applications resemble subtle jewelry, while more discreet options remain virtually invisible. This allows you to choose a solution that suits both your needs and preferences.

Ear acupuncture is also being studied as a method for pain relief. Results indicate possible benefits, but further, higher-quality research is needed—so we don't promise a specific therapeutic effect. Experiences after treatment vary. During subsequent sessions, you can share with Ayako what you found pleasurable and how you responded to the applications—this will help tailor future sessions to your sensitivity.

A soothing session, a subtle decoration and a bit of care you take home with you.
