We’ll get you lying face up on the table first.
Then we’ll have a quick chat.
We start by feeling through your arms, legs and torso.
We’re looking for where things are tight or not moving properly — what’s not working.
That tells us where to treat — often in a different part of the body.
We place a needle, then check again.
As things start to open up, you’ll usually notice the change yourself.
We just work through it step by step like that.
It’s not about how many needles — it’s whether it changes something.
These are just some of the more common ones:
We also work with more complex and long-standing conditions.
The focus isn’t the label —
it’s finding what’s not working and correcting it.
Fast, Targeted Pain Relief
We treat pain in:
• back
• neck
• shoulders
• knees
• elbows
• hands and feet
• headaches
• sciatica
We assess quickly, treat precisely, and you feel the change.
If we can help — we’ll tell you. If not — we’ll be clear about that too.
This is not typical acupuncture.
Most treatments follow a set approach.
We don’t.
This is a higher level of acupuncture.
It’s based on precise palpation, minimal treatment, and checking the response straight away — not set routines or general protocols.
We use our hands to feel how your body is responding, find what’s not working, treat it — then check it straight away.
Dr Mark McAuliffe teaches this approach in Australia, and it’s used throughout the clinic.
Dr Laura Bell works the same way.
The goal is simple:
Find what’s causing the problem — and change it.
You’ll know if it’s working.
If your system feels constantly “on edge” — poor sleep, low energy, difficulty switching off — something isn’t settling.
We use precise acupuncture to find what’s driving that response, treat it — and help your system shift quickly.
Treatment may include body and ear acupuncture, with protocols designed for stress and anxiety.
You’ll feel the difference as your system settles — most patients notice improved calm, sleep, and clarity within the first few sessions.
If weight isn’t shifting, something in the system isn’t regulating properly.
We assess what’s going on, treat it with precise acupuncture, and support it with a structured, practical approach.
This may include:
• body and ear acupuncture
• a structured 14-day nutrition plan to reduce inflammation and lose weight
• prescribed natural herbal formulas
• simple habits to support metabolism
You’ll feel the shift early — appetite settles, energy improves, digestion becomes more consistent.
From there, weight loss becomes steady and sustainable.

We start by feeling through your arms, legs and torso.
We’re looking for where things are tight or not moving properly — what’s not working.
That tells us where to treat — often in a different part of the body.
We place a fine acupuncture needle, then check again.
