Since childhood, Helena has been interested in the connection between body and mind.

Emotions, whether positive or negative, affect one’s way of thinking, behaviour, and lifestyle, which lead to health conditions.

Being half-Japanese and half-French in Japan, seeking a “good balance” of identity was difficult for Helena in confronting various experiences when she was young. As a child, she was sensitive to a biased way of viewing things and was always trying to find the equilibrium.

In her own words: “By encountering Acupuncture, which is a holistic traditional medicine, several symptoms I had were replaced with mental calmness and acupuncture treatment became something to reset myself, to acknowledge where I am standing, to listen to my true voice.”

Impressed by the art of traditional oriental medicine, Helena decided to become an acupuncturist in 2008 and started her career as a therapist.
