True health is finding balance in every aspect of life—nurturing our body, calming our mind, and creating lasting habits that support our wellbeing over time.

With over a decade of experience in the field, I have helped numerous people on their journey towards better health by addressing both their immediate concerns and underlying issues. Whether it's managing chronic pain, alleviating stress, or supporting overall wellbeing, my goal has always been to create personalised treatments that empower people to take control of their health. Each session is designed to not only bring relief but also to inspire lasting change that promotes a healthier and more balanced life.

Services

  • Motor Point Acupuncture

    A woman is giving a woman a electro acupuncture treatment on her back.

    A specialised style of acupuncture centred around relieving pain-related symptoms stemming from musculoskeletal conditions.

    Muscle groups that require treatment are identified and isolated through a range of diagnostic testing techniques.

    Skilled needling techniques and therapeutic soft tissue mobilisation methods are utilised to alleviate pain, restore muscle function, and address any structural imbalances that may be present.

  • Dry Needling/ Trigger Release

    A person is getting acupuncture on their back.

    This techniques is used to relieve myofasical trigger points (muscle knots).

    Releasing tigger points reduces pain by elongating the muscle and restoring muscle elasticity; this in turn restores the muscle's functioning potential.

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine

    Historically speaking, TCM was a wellness medicine that focused on keeping people in good health. Therefore this medicine takes a whole-person approach to disease and dysfunction. By taking into consideration a person's whole state of being, we are able to tailor a treatment plan specifically for you.
