Your journey to better health starts here, with Port Macquarie region acupuncture.
If you are looking for an integrative approach to manage your health, you are in the right place. Kim has qualifications in both traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture) and western reproductive medicine, allowing her to combine both ideologies to help you reach optimal health.
Our approach is patient-centric, meaning we aim to put you first and give you the support you need to reach your healthcare goals. Appointments are long enough to have an extensive chat about your health history, current symptoms, and goals, allowing you to feel heard and supported.
Treatment usually involves acupuncture, as well as the option for supplements, herbal medicine, referrals for blood tests (not Medicare funded), cupping, diet and lifestyle advice, and infrared heat. Kim has also partnered with the boutique IVF clinic Demeter Fertility in Sydney, to give residents of the Mid North Coast the best possible access to reproductive care.
When you come in to the Wauchope/Port Macquarie region acupuncture clinic, we will sit down and have a chat about your health concerns and what your wellness goals are. During this time, Kim will be coming up with acupuncture points and lifestyle advice that will give you the best results. Once you are on the comfortable acupuncture table, the super fine acupuncture needles will be inserted. Kim’s style of acupuncture is very gentle, so the whole experience should be relaxing and enjoyable (she has converted even the most needle-phobic people into lovers of acupuncture!). After 20 minutes of rest time with the acupuncture pins, they will be removed and you can carry on your day, feeling lovely and rejuvenated. Kim will email you with any advice that has been discussed during your appointment so you can refer back to it at any time.
While Kim’s main area of expertise is fertility and pregnancy care, she has worked in busy health clinics for 18+ years and has experience treating a wide range of conditions. If you would like to discuss your condition before treatment please get in touch through the contact page. We are here to support you in whatever life throws your way.
We look forward to meeting you soon and being part of your healthiest life.
