Kuniko TCM & Healthcare
Health in Oxley

Kuniko Shimada's interest in acupuncture and Chinese medicine started when her shoulder was healed through these 2 methods. After passing the graduation examination, registration and certification as a TCM physician and acupuncturist, she became the very first Japanese to be registered as a TCM physician and acupuncturist in Singapore.
From Kuniko's experience, we can say that 'we can learn something everyday'.
Kuniko is a former student of Dr. Cao Quan Yu. Just like her mentor, she also started teaching. Hence, her dreams have finally became reality. Moreover, she would always imagine herself taking in patients. After taking the examinations, she placed top 36 in a class of 95! She was able to do it because of her 'can-do' attitude and with the help of her teachers, family and thoughts of her father. The government of Singapore implemented a national examination system to ensure a higher standard as well as the safety of acupuncture. However, she started learning English, since most of acupuncture and chinese medicine were taught in Chinese, trained in acupuncture and worked at a clinic. With her father's sudden death due to leukemia in 2006, the drive and commitment to study medicine became stronger. Back then, her knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medicine were mostly self-taught.Kuniko came in to Singapore back in 1991. Eventually, in addition to teaching, wherein, Tian Qi (Vital Energy) health was reformed to Kuniko TCM, thru the encouragement of Dr. Cao, she started doing treatment as a TCM physician and acupuncturist.
