Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine needles inserted at specific points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This traditional practice helps alleviate chronic pain, migraines, and stress-related conditions by restoring energy flow. Patients receive personalised sessions lasting 20-30 minutes with ongoing assessment to adjust treatment plans as needed.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customised herbal formulations address various health concerns using TGA-approved ingredients. Treatments combine pills, capsules, and granules tailored to individual patterns of disharmony. Regular check-ups ensure formulas adapt to patients' changing needs while maintaining compatibility with Western medical treatments.
Fertility Support
Specialised acupuncture and herbal protocols support natural fertility and IVF processes. Treatments focus on hormonal balance, stress reduction, and improving reproductive system function. Both male and female partners receive targeted interventions to enhance conception chances through holistic methods.
Cupping Therapy
Traditional cupping uses glass cups to create suction that releases muscle tension and improves circulation. This therapy addresses musculoskeletal pain, particularly in back and shoulder regions, by promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation through non-invasive techniques.
Migraine Treatment
Acupuncture protocols target migraine prevention by addressing underlying energy imbalances. Treatments focus on reducing frequency and severity through regular sessions that modify pain pathways and manage stress triggers according to evidence-based research.

Questions
What happens during my first appointment?
Initial consultations last 60-75 minutes, including health history review and personalised treatment. Patients receive acupuncture, possibly cupping or herbal recommendations, with focus on creating tailored treatment plans.
Do you accept private health insurance?
We have HICAPS facilities for on-the-spot health fund claims. Most Australian private health providers cover acupuncture treatments with registered practitioners.
Can I use Chinese herbs without acupuncture?
Yes, though regular check-ups ensure optimal herbal prescriptions. Treatment effectiveness requires adjusting formulas as patients' conditions evolve through periodic assessments.
How are herbal medicines dispensed?
Herbs come in pill, capsule, or granule forms. Granules dissolve in hot water and require twice-daily dosing, following strict TGA-approved preparation and mixing protocols.
What conditions do you treat?
We address musculoskeletal pain, migraines, allergic rhinitis, hormonal imbalances, stress-related disorders, and fertility issues using evidence-based acupuncture and herbal medicine protocols.
