The clinic is very patient-orientated with the emphasis being on your best
possible care.
The integration of Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Massage and Acupuncture and specialised referral sources is used to aid our patients in the best way possible, and not only for treatment but for advice and QUICK referral.
Each clinician will be prepared to pool his/her expertise with that of the others for the benefit of the patient who is, after all, the main reason for the health team’s existence.

My acupuncture is a combination of Japanese and Chinese style – very gentle safe needling. You will feel a unique sensation to needling when aimed at muscles or trigger points, acupressure points and bone.
If required, I can also use an electrical machine for muscle stress relief and I also use Meridian points for stability of autonomic nerves.
Acupuncture can help to keep you in good health.
In my spare time, I love Yoga and walking, drawing, painting, gardening. I am excited to be living in New Zealand amongst this amazing nature.
Acupuncture may help with the following conditions:
・Injuries to the neck, back and joints.
・Women’s health
・Symptoms of the nose, eyes, ears, mouth
・Chronic diseases
And many more. Acupuncture is one of the most appropriate forms of treatment to maintain good physical health.

I came to New Zealand in 2017 and worked in an Acupuncture and Physiotherapy clinic in Auckland where I got the opportunity to improve my skills in treating acute injuries.
I enjoy treating patients using basic acupuncture techniques such as gentle needling, cupping, moxibustion, guasha and massage for relief of pain and relaxing muscles and nerves.
While in the North Island I got to enjoy the outdoor adventures such as cycling, hiking and swimming. I did an open water swim which was so much fun. I continue to do these activities in Central Otago and I am learning to Fly fish. I love being back to nature.
