House of Moxa Presents
2-day Introductory Moxa Skills Workshops in Melbourne
with Catherine Kato
22nd-23rd November 2025 (East Coburg)
I am excited to be offering 2-day Introductory Moxa Skills Workshops in Melbourne on Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd November. Come and spend 2 days with me improving your moxa skills in a relaxed and intimate setting. No matter what style you practice, leave with the confidence to incorporate more of the magic of moxa into your treatments, whether it’s for pain, fertility enhancement, or simply to tonify the Yin or Yang or move the Blood. This is also the only place you will learn the Okuma Sensei Pelvic Adjustment Method, a non-invasive technique to adjust the pelvis using moxa and needles! If you have already attended one of my workshops, come and further refine your skills and bring your questions and case studies with you. This will be a very practical, hands-on workshop so numbers are strictly limited.
- Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd November, 9.30am – 4.30pm AEST at East Coburg Neighbourhood House, 32 Nicholson Street, East Coburg (corner of Nicholson St & Glengyle St)

TESTIMONIALS
“Since your workshop, I’ve been exploring moxa use in the clinic. I’m getting such great results and patients are so happy 🙂 It’s also given me a confidence boost in practice and I feel I’ve re-discovered a powerful tool to be used in my therapeutic arsenal. I now fully understand why Acupuncture in China was known as Zhenjiu/Acumoxa. They go hand in hand and should be used together (where appropriate) to give patients the best opportunity to recover.”
Shane, Acupuncturist (Sydney)
“Catherine was very patient and made sure each student was on the right track, which may not be possible if the workshop was with a large group of people.”
Jack, TCM Student (Sydney)
“The workshop was well organized and very informative. I really enjoyed the day and all content covered.”
Ashleigh, TCM Student (Sydney)
“Thanks for a lovely day. Reinforced and refined some techniques.”
Karen, Acupuncturist (QLD)
