What is Acupuncture?

Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang. This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow. Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of qi. By inserting and manipulating hair-thin needles at specific points, I am able to return the body to its natural balance and promote the body's ability to heal itself.

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Yes. Acupuncture is a gentle, natural, and safe form of healthcare trusted by millions of people around the world. In Australia, registered acupuncturists complete years of study in Chinese medicine, anatomy, and clinical practice, along with specialised training in Clean Needle Technique and infection control. As a nationally registered practitioner with AHPRA and the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia, your health and comfort are always my top priority. Every treatment uses sterile, single‑use needles to ensure your experience is safe, clean, and completely relaxing.
