The beauty of Acupuncture is that it treats the individuals overall health and well-being, not just the symptoms. The theory on which acupuncture is based is called meridian (or channel) theory. Meridian theory describes the flow of qi (life energy) through the body. Qi connects all the tissues and organs of the body, circulating from one area of the body to another along certain pathways. For the body to function properly, qi must flow freely and in the correct strength and quality through each of the meridians. When the flow of qi is interrupted or unbalanced, illness of the body, mind and/or spirit will occur. This ancient Chinese form of healing art originated more than 4000 years ago and its healing abilities are well respected in the world today. The fact that Acupuncture continues to be practiced in this day and age is strong proof of the true power of this medicine.
“Acupuncture is about guiding the body into a state of balance, letting it make the right decision, so that the body naturally corrects itself and therefore functions properly and heals”.
What to expect on your first Acupuncture visit
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to influence the flow of qi throughout the body. The selected points chosen are best suited to address the concerns and symptoms you are experiencing and your individual qi imbalances (identified based on your medical history and examination).
The goal of acupuncture treatment is to restore the balance to the qi of a person's body. Restoring balance to the body's qi allows the person's body, mind, and spirit to heal and can resolve the symptoms and concerns for which the person has sought treatment.
We specialise holistically by incorporating Nutrition, Herbal Medicine and Life Style Advice with Acupuncture into the treatment, for healthy maintenance and well being.
How many treatments you would need depends on the condition. Acute can be resolved within 1-2 treatments and Chronic will need up to 5 treatments for better results.

Testimonials
“I went to Maria for an initial consultation as I had suffered ongoing Lung infections twice to three times a year for most of my adult life. I found the Herbs and Acupuncture treatment she prescribed beneficial almost immediately. And in continuing treatment over a period of a few months, have not had any lung problems since.
Maria also treated me for Fatigue, where she also gave me nutritional advice that was extremely beneficial, and effects were felt straight away.
I still continue to get advice and treatment from Maria and highly recommend her to anyone I know who has health problems.
The treatments and advice I have received have had an extremely positive affect on my life today and I will continue to use her for any future health issues and would recommend her treatments over conventional medicine any day.”
- Yolande Phillips, Restaurant Manager
“Before meeting Maria I had tried acupuncture for sporting injuries. From the first consultation I was very impressed with Maria's experience and how acupuncture could help many other things than just pain.
When Maria explained the benefits of acupuncture I hoped it could improve my digestion and increase my fat loss. Within minutes of her placing needles in specific points I noticed an immediate increase in my metabolism. It actually made my stomach rumble within only a few minutes of the session. I could feel tingling at the points they were placed, it felt like the energy was flowing around them.
I highly recommend if you have any health complaints or just want to feel more relaxed to try acupuncture with Maria. Even though being hesitant with needles Maria made me feel at ease. I now use acupuncture as an ongoing part of my health care maintenance.”
- Vesna Aleksic, Chiropractor
“I first went to Maria because I was stressed and suffering from mild insomnia. Within the space of a few weeks she got me happier, healthier and sleeping like a baby through her massage and acupuncture. Now, I just go to see her to maintain my wellbeing.
Maria has a friendly and professional manner.
She is just fabulous!”
- Barbara Somlai, Sales
