Cleanliness, Comfort and Full Treatment Time as Advertised

We work hard to ensure you receive a top class treatment, our treatment time as advertised is what you will get: from hands on, to hands off. We endeavor to be on time, and we massage you using freshly laundered, clean, comfy, AND warm linen. Our rooms are at a comfortable temperature -warm in the colder months and cool in the warmer months.

We have covered memory foam on our tables to ensure you don’t go out more stiff and sore than when you came in (especially important if you’re over 40!).  We clean our clients clothing basket and the table between EVERY client and we have special laundry for infection control, not just the concern of COVID, but any other viruses or bacteria that humans can pass to each other.

Why do we use the term Medical for acupuncture?

With a 20 year career in aged, disability and respite nursing, as well as beauty and massage, it is a natural progression for me to want to utilise all my skills from the past and combine them with my Bachelor of Health Science Acupuncture Degree to treat pain, injury illness and trauma.

I have hired like-minded, experienced therapists with similar goals i.e. that want to focus on the reduction of suffering for clients, and who also possess great customer service skills; We treat with quality and care.

Acupuncture can get fantastic results! Acupuncture is a highly developed modality that can help with a wide range of health problems. For example: mental health stress, anxiety sleep issues (insomnia), physical health including improving immunity, systemic health such as treatment that may reduce the symptoms of arthritis, endometriosis, headaches, pain including all back pain, autoimmunity conditions, and many other health conditions.

Remedial Massage: We offer both East and West, so what’s the difference?

Western Remedial Massage has a focus on knowing and understanding the physiology of the body well. A range of techniques like myofascial release, soft tissue techniques, and many others, combined with a desire to care and nurture clients so that remedial massage also FEELS good.

Eastern Remedial Massage called Tui Na (pronounced T-wan-na) is an acupuncture point style that is often hard and fast, but highly effective. It is a Chinese-style massage but can be delivered to suit. It’s also great for sports treatment when your muscles are too tight.

As the owner I like to combine both my remedial and chinese medicine theories for massage, so I use the meridians, acupressure points for massage.
