MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Melanie -
She/Her. Acupuncturist, herbalist, intuitive, healer.
It is my absolute joy to share with you the wisdom and beauty of Traditional East Asian Medicine.
My first experience with Acupuncture can only be described as transformational. I knew in that moment that something greater than myself was happening and I was excited for the change. Studying Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine wasn’t just about learning point location and the actions of herbs. For me, it included examining who I was as a person - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
The importance of emotional health in Traditional East Asian Medicine is something that resonates with me deeply. In my years of practice, I am continually fascinated by emotions and how they can hide and manifest in the body, causing physical symptoms and setbacks in everyday life. I love watching my clients thrive as they bravely acknowledge and release these blockages, transforming their own lives.
I am forever a student. After graduating from the Southern School of Natural Therapies (SSNT) in 2015, my curious heart has led me to further studies in the psycho-emotional and spiritual aspects of Traditional East Asian Medicine, Stone Medicine (crystal healing), Somatic Healing, Craniosacral Therapy, and Cosmetic Acupuncture.
Away from the clinic, I am interested in the dynamics of breath and movement (yoga and dance), meditation, photography, and fashion. I believe that nourishment in life is more than just the food we eat - it’s also about feeding the soul.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that self-love is the greatest act of rebellion. When we understand ourselves at the deepest level, we can see life in a new light; this is how we change the world.

No matter the treatment,
I always promise:
TO BE COMPASSIONATE
The value of compassion enables us to understand ourselves and others better - with this knowledge, I promise to take the time and care necessary to help relieve your discomfort or suffering to the best of my ability.
TO BE TRANSPARENT
It is embedded in my nature to always prioritise care and connection over conversion or profits. I will never recommend a treatment, appointment or supplement that I don’t truly believe will benefit you.
TO ALLOW SPACE
Above all else, I promise you the space and safety to explore, heal and release in your own unique way.
