1/6/2024 update: Happy Healthy New Year! Thank you for thinking about me. I have been receiving emails and text messages from you about the time I am coming home. I am still in Japan. I might be able to come home after submitting an application for Japanese Parmanent Residency Status, which allows me to live freely in both countries for a longer time without a visa. Unfortunately, Japan is one of the very few countries that does not allow dual citizenship, which means I am not able to stay long term if my mother gets sick. My mother will be 91 years old in February. This is the only way to obtain a visa-free lifestyle to live in the U.S. and Japan. I will post my update to travel back to the U.S..
9/4/2023 -> If you are considering becoming my patient, please visit the New Patient Page and then email me. On this page, you will find several informative pages that explain what Functional Medicine is and the benefits it can provide. Please click on the Functional Medicine Navigation Bar at the top of the page. You will see the various tests that I am able to order for you. Many of the patients I have seen come to me with multiple ongoing and unresolved health issues or unexplained infertility, and while I cannot guarantee success for all cases, I have been able to solve complex cases since 2005. I am confident that I can help you remotely.
7/4/2023 Update: I have not left Boston this long since 1989 but surprisingly new patients keep me busy everyday in my practice in Lexington. I will be practicing up to 9/3 (Sunday), flying out to Japan on 9/4, and coming back date is T.B.A. at this moment. I will be practicing as a functional medicine from Japan as a tele-health consultant. I enjoyed working remotely from March to June this year. I will have a lot of time for myself while I reside in Japan means I have more time to do dig-in research for each case my patients bring in. The new patients who came to see me for any hormone issues include infertility are welcome to contact me via email. I can do face-time, what’s up, or zoom to do a follow-up consultation if you would like. If you feel you need acupuncture treatment after I leave, I will give you referrals with my notes (what I treated and how I treated with the specific acupuncture point location, length of the treatment time, the angles of acupuncture needles going into etc… in details) – which practitioner is the best fit for your need – so that you will be taking care of by my colleagues. If you need any supplement choices, I will send the prescriptions via FullScript online dispensary with my memo about how to, when, how much to take in details. You just need to click and order. The good news for me and my patients will be this time period will give me a lot of free time to study further while I am in Japan because I only need to taking care of my mother. I have a few trainings I paid for but have not completed yet, many webinars I have not even started yet, and many articles I even have not sorted out yet, and this website, I have not updated it for a while since I have patients to see, email/text messages to respond, chose the best choice of supplements for my patients to place an order, and housework, taking care of my dog, and I need to eat healthy meal and get the decent sleep. I just do not have enough time while I practice in the clinic everyday. For the new patients would like to consult with me, I will have more time to get research done in your for sure.
6/12/2023 Update: I am coming back to the U.S. on 7/4. Please email to tamietreatment@gmail.com or text me 781-254-2206 to make an appointment. I am still able to do functional medicine consultation from Japan as long as you are OK with 7-8-9 AM or 7-8-9 PM EST since Japan is 13 hours ahead. Please visit New Patient Page first before you contact me. Looking forward to seeing you or talking with you from Japan next three weeks.
3/2023 update: Since I could not go home to see my father when he was very ill, I decided to go home for not 2 weeks but much longer term if my mother live 90 years old. Well, she is almost 91 lives alone. I usually visit her for a short visit taking her to the hot springs and staying the nice Japanese inns with my American husband who speaks very little Japanese every year but I could not have done it last 4 years due to corona virus. Japan closed their ports much longer than any other countries. My acupuncture clinic will reopen when I come back in summer but I continue working with the patients seeking for functional medicine consultation. I support infertility patients who are willing to make changes after the functional medicine consultation as well. You probably do not realize there are so many things you need to pay more attention to than just going to a weekly acupuncture appointment. This is the honest my thought after seeing many unexplained infertility patients over 18 years. For patients who seeks only acupuncture treatment, I am more than happy to refer you to see other acupuncturists. Please email or text me. I will get back to you within 2 days.
