Ayako Kakuta Practitioner

Ayako Kakuta

Acupuncturist, moxibustion practitioner, massage therapist (national qualification)

Greetings

Hello.

My name is Ayako Kakuta and I am a therapist at Iluminar Acupuncture and Massage Clinic.

I was born with very flexible joints and have suffered from chronic fatigue and pain.

Later, I found out I had a condition called "hEDS (hypermobility type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome)".

The ailments that I had been unable to explain until then began to be put into words one by one.

I have also experienced open fractures and ligament and meniscus injuries from motorcycle accidents.

In the past, I had to go to a pain clinic and there was a time when medication was essential.

But now I'm able to face my body and get through each day while regulating my rhythm.

That is why,

"I want to meet someone who really understands my pain and discomfort."

For those who feel this way, we would like to offer treatment that can quietly support them.

🦓 体がやわらかく疲れやすい、慢性的な痛みがあるなど、hEDSやPOTS、MCASに通じる症状をお持ちの方も、こちらで詳しくご紹介しています。

My origins

20代の頃、心も体もすっかり疲れ果てて、先が見えなくなったことがありました。

今思えば、hEDSや自律神経の乱れも影響していたのかもしれません。

そのとき、鍼灸師の友人が一本の鍼を打ってくれたことで、

ふっと体の奥に光が差し込んだような感覚がありました。

 

“整えよう”と頑張るよりも、

“戻っていける”体の力を信じるほうが私には合っていました。

それが今、Iluminarの施術スタイルのベースになっています。

What I value most

At Iluminar, we create a treatment time just for you.

A time to lighten your body and mind a little.

I just want it to be a place where you can "return to yourself."

Treatment is not too strong, and stimulation is not too much.

We provide careful treatment that is only possible because we understand the delicate nature of the body.

So that this will be a place where you can return to with peace of mind.
We have summed up the thoughts that Iluminar holds dear in one word.
