Yoko Ohara

I’ve had 2 sessions with Yoko now and they have been fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and I felt really listened to about the pain in my leg. Both sessions I have left feeling validated and my pain has been alleviated. Will certainly come back to her.

I only have massages by Yoko! No one else compares! She listens to your needs and adapts accordingly. I always come out with pain relieved and feeling totally relaxed. Thank you Yoko!

Very experienced and thoughtful practitioner! After dealing with intense PMS for a few years Yoko was the first practitioner to help me resolve it and have my first in a few year pain free cycle. Yoko also recommends techniques and exercises outside the sessions that can be done at any time, which is very thoughtful. Highly recommend!

Yoko is a fantastic practitioner. I’ve been seeing her for years for acupuncture, shiatsu and facial massage. She is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and intuitive, with a wonderfully calming and reassuring manner. I always leave feeling deeply relaxed, restored and genuinely better in myself.

Lovely first-time acupuncture and massage experience with Yoko. Highly recommended!

Yoko is really attentive to my needs, checking in on how I’m feeling etc. throughout the session. She has a very calming and safe presence which I also really value. I always leave her massages feeling very relaxed and calm :)

I had awful pain in my neck and shoulders and the acupuncture and massage treatment has reduced the pain significantly. Yoko is very calm and creates a relaxing experience.

I’ve had several acupuncture facials with Yoko and highly recommend her. My skin seems brighter and plumper after each session and I love the facial massage at the end of the session

Yoko was kind and patient with and I feel so relaxed afterward. She really spent time listening to me and working with me to get the desired outcome. Would highly recommend!!

Yoko is a wonderful therapist who listens to your specific concerns and addresses them. I highly recommend her services.

I have enjoyed a number of sessions of shiatsu with Yoko, and found it so effective I treated my best friend to one too. I went to Yoko after I experienced a transient ischaemic attack and felt something of a loss of confidence in my physical wellbeing. I found her shiatsu very grounding, regenerative and an effective stress relief. I wholeheartedly recommend Yoko.

Yoko was very good, attentive to my back, which I had highlighted as having a lot of tension. She also lets me know where other areas I need to pay attention to. Overall, the session was very relaxing and my body felt lighter after!

Yoko is an excellent masseur with a lot of experience and massage techniques. She is a reassuring and empathetic presence, always professional, communicative and quickly gets to the massage you need . Highly recommended!

I have been visiting Yoko for years now. She is a sensitive, kind and has a magic touch. I have a holistic or deep tissue massage. It feels like going on holiday.

It’s my 2nd time seeing Yoko for shiatsu, and she’s attentive, careful and professional. I highly recommend her

I tried Shiatsu with Yoko for the first time in my life and I loved it. I felt so much more comfortable and energized afterwards.

Very professional and friendly service, which is tailored to suit my needs.

I've had 2 shiatsu massages with Yoko and I can feel the benefits already as my body doesn't feel as tight as before. She incorporates stretches as well during shiatsu which I feel is beneficial to me also I feel very relaxed after my massage. I look forward to my next session with Yoko.

Excellent therapist highly recommend Yoko - I had facial acupuncture and neck and shoulder massage - bliss!

So thankful for Yoko! My partner and I have been to her for many years- mainly at Neals Yard. We have seen her for Swedish massage, shiatsu and acupuncture. Highly recommend her. She's professional and very caring.

Was very stressed out and had the beginnings of agonising facial nerve pain, which I have had previously, didn't want to go GP etc so thought I would try an alternative. Went to an appointment with Yoko and had a rejuvenating facial massage and Yoko advised me to try acupuncture which I have never had. I left neals yard Islington feeling such an amazing sense of calm, I was still in pain at that point but went home and straight to bed. Woke up the next morning pain free. I will be going back to see Yoko very soon. Yoko has the hands of an angel. Also all of the neals yard staff were amazingly helpful. Thanks so much worth every penny 👍👍👍

There aren't many places offering shiatsu in London so I'm very happy to have found such a skilled practitioner in Yoko. I have always had an excellent experience and would thoroughly recommend.

I really loved Shiatsu with Yoko, a perfect mix of stretching, accupressure and energy work, it was different to an oil massage but perfect for me!

Loved the acupunture sessions with Yoko. She is very attentive and professional. Highly recommended!

She is very nice!

Yoko is my go-to acupuncturist. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and gently experiments to help alleviate the stresses I've come in with and to explain to me what she's doing throughout. I always feel lighter and calmer after a session with Yoko.

Yoko has helped me a lot with a lost of post workout treatments. I started going for treatment as part of rehab, recovering from a shoulder injury but have continued my sessions as they've improved my general health and stress levels. Yoko is very friendly and listens to the various ways I've managed to break myself during the week and come up with suitable treatments. Highly recommended.

I have been seeing Yoko for regular shiatsu massages for 5 years now, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Her ability to connect with my body allows me to release any tension without the pain as she works with my body allowing it to free up with ease. I am so happy to have Yoko in my life.

I thoroughly enjoy these sessions with Yoko. She listens to you and applies that in her therapy. Yoko, is able to make deep uneasiness become more manageable and goodness known how she does that but it is exactly why her style and manner keeps me going back! Her nature and approach is also so personable and I enjoy these sessions a lot - so much so, that it has become my monthly treat!

Yoko is an amazing massage therapist - if you need to unwind & relax, I thoroughly recommend her Natural Facelift Massage. After every treatment, I leave feeling balanced and totally de-stressed, and I always sleep better that night. Yoko is a pro and you can tell she really cares about her clients.

I have been seeing Yoko for massage, shiatsu and acupuncture for several years now. She takes great care to ensure that she understands your individual needs and to focus her treatment accordingly. I have found her treatments to be very helpful with stress and tension, migraine and menopause, and to give me a general sense of calm, balance and well-being. I highly recommend her.
