Mackay Acupuncture Natural Medicine
Dr. Mark McAuliffe
Mark is a 30-year Australian-registered acupuncturist based in Mackay, specializing in acupuncture and various healing modalities to help alleviate pain and promote overall wellness. He commonly treats back, neck, and joint pain, digestive issues, weight concerns, hormonal imbalances, headaches, infertility, stress, and anxiety. With decades of experience, Mark understands that addressing symptoms alone doesn’t provide lasting relief. Instead, he focuses on identifying and treating the root cause to achieve long-term healing.
Oriental medicine encompasses a wide range of approaches practiced worldwide. Mark has explored many natural healing methods since 1980, including TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Tan, Tung, Zhu Scalp, Korean, and Tsuyoshi Shimamura Nagano styles. In late 2021, he discovered Neoclassical Acupuncture, a system developed by Dr. Slate Burris.
This innovative method represents a paradigm shift in acupuncture. Diagnosis is conducted entirely through palpation, allowing the practitioner to assess the body within 1 to 5 minutes by identifying blocked meridians, organs, elements, branches, or obstacles. According to Dr. Burris, the technique’s deep understanding of energetic architecture often enables significant changes with just a single needle, resulting in immediate and substantial pain relief for many patients. Mark is passionate about bringing this transformative approach to his practice.

Stress - Anxiety and Depression
Stress can impact on our daily life by affecting our general health and wellbeing over time. Acupuncture with western medicine may give great improvement for people suffering with anxiety or other emotional disorders using balance method and shen harmonisation. It may also help addictive patterns. We also use the NADA protocol for ear and body acupuncture for these disorders.

NCA - One Needle Acupuncture
Neoclassical Acupuncture (NCA) is a revolutionary, palpatory style of Oriental Medicine which provides immediate feedback with each needle placed. What has made it one of the fastest growing styles in Australia, USA, Europe and Mexico is its immediate efficacy using 1 needle only with advanced training, with no need for ‘recipes’ or ‘point prescriptions.’ Diagnosis and treatment can involve up to 5 different levels: Element, Obstacle, Organ, Meridian. When treated on the three dimensional Elemental or Branches level , a persons internal awareness can activate, which often clears all levels immediately, instantly taking away symptoms with them. The clearing of each of these levels can be immediately verified via palpation and feedback from patient.
One of the keys to the system is the incorporation of the sixth element (often referred to as Ministerial Fire and previously considered as a branch of Fire) which brings into play a more ancient motor of elemental interaction, allowing results which often seem amazing.
Recognizing the remarkableness of this system of acupuncture, Dr Mark has been organising courses, for the founder Dr Slate Burris out to Australia every year since 2022, to train this revolutionary system to Australian Acupuncturists in live Foundation and Advanced Masterclasses.
