Elaine

I have been involved in the health profession since 1991. I trained initially as a Registered Nurse (NZ), then as a Midwife (UK, 1996) and more recently as an Acupuncturist (NZ and Nanjing China, 2009). 
I have an interest in maintaining wellness with extensive knowledge in environmental, nutritional and lifestyle management which can help to improve your well being. I have completed the foundation course in Environmental and Nutritional Medicine (ACNEM). I incorporate Acupuncture, Guasha, Moxa, Cupping, Acupressure, Electro-therapy, nutrition and Bach flower Remedies into the treatment plan.
I often work closely with your GP, Specialist, Midwife and other health practitioners to achieve the best outcomes.
I am a member of NZASA (New Zealand Acupuncture Standards Association) which assures you that strict clinical guidelines are adhered to and disposable needles are used to maintain an optimum level of hygiene. I also undergo regular education, keeping up to date to improve my practice. I am ACC approved.

I’ve always had a deep passion for helping people with their health. My journey began in Auckland, where I trained as a registered nurse, and later took me to New York City in the 1990s, where I worked with AIDS patients during the height of the HIV epidemic. Returning to New Zealand, I developed a strong interest in rehabilitation and occupational health nursing, finding satisfaction in helping people recover.

When health issues arose in my own family, I was inspired to explore complementary health solutions. This led me to train in Kinesiology and Traditional Chinese Medicine, integrating these with my background in Western science. I now combine various branches of kinesiology, including Touch for Health, Neuro-Linguistic Kinesiology, Quantum Reflex Analysis, NAET and SIPS, within my practice.

I hold postgraduate diplomas in Health Sciences in Acupuncture (from Auckland University of Technology) and Case Management (from the University of Auckland). As an Chinese Medical Council approved acupuncturist and a member of several professional organizations, my goal is to support you in achieving your health goals. 

While I don’t diagnose medical conditions, we can complement conventional medicine, helping to manage symptoms and promote overall well-being.
