Not feeling heard?

When you’ve been managing complex symptoms for a long time, feeling truly heard can make all the difference.

At our practitioner takes the time to listen and look at the bigger picture. Many of our clients come to us after years of searching for answers, with symptoms that don’t fit neatly into a box. Through gentle, personalised acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we aim to connect the dots and create real, lasting change.

The clinic space is calm, welcoming and thoughtfully designed to help you feel at ease - because the environment matters too.

If you’ve been feeling overlooked or unsure where to turn next, we’re here when you’re ready.

Scott Stephens Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine caught up with some of the awesome team at The Healesville Wellness Factory today to talk all health and discover the ways that we can all work together to bring our patients the best results with their health care.

Thanks so much for having us guys!

One of the things I love about Healesville is the access we have to such a wide and skilled range of practitioners.

Achieving the best results for a patient will often require a multidisciplinary approach and the fact that spaces like The Healesville Wellness Factory offer so many modalities under one roof is so helpful.

Today I caught up with the team from Better Exercise Physiology and Pilates Plus who are only one part of the brilliant offerings available from The Healesville Wellness Factory.

Exercise Physiology & Clinical Pilates are wonderful tools when approaching injury recovery and work brilliantly in conjunction with acupuncture.

Tradies. This one is for you. Think about the expensive equipment in your various tool kits, the machinery, the vehicle that you make sure you look after, service and care for regularly…

You know what your most valuable work asset is? It’s YOU

Anyone working in manual labour is working their body extremely hard. If you do not take the time to address the niggles (we know there are niggles that you ignore), if you don’t rest, give your body the support, regular services and care it needs it will let you down. And that becomes very bad for business!

Injury recovery, aches and pains, fatigue, low energy levels, poor sleep, mental health and stress are all things that can help support with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Are you one of them?

Headache Australia tells us that 71% of migraine sufferers are women and 86% of them are of working age meaning they are trying to juggle a career with this often debilitating condition.

Migraines, along with all variety of other headaches are a common health concern of patients that treats at

Some migraine sufferers actually experience chronic migraines which means they are impacted by pain or other associated symptoms around 15 days a month! This is an extremely challenging amount of time to be managing pain.

Common Traditional Chinese Medicine patterns we find in patients with migraine include:

Liver excess
Liver Qi stagnation
Blood stasis
Damp or Phlegm

Whilst we are looking to resolve the migraines or headaches themselves they are actually a symptom of an underlying imbalance as shown in the examples above. In order to achieve ongoing relief from migraine pain it’s important we establish the root cause of the problem.

Once we have isolated the underlying imbalances we can work towards resolving them with a combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques including herbal medicine, acupuncture and other therapeutic approaches.

Winter breakfast.

One way of ensuring a healthy and strong digestive fire during Winter is by ensuring you fuel it properly. Foods that are both energetically warm (heating by nature) and cooked make for a happy tummy that doesn’t need to work so hard to be nourished.

Here is a snap of my breakfast this morning.

We love a nice warm bowl of porridge to get the day started in the cooler months. Today’s version is cooking with cinnamon and vanilla & topped with berries, pepita seeds & honey.

Cinnamon & Pepita are energetically warm foods making them an excellent choice during the cooler months.

Smoothies, whilst a healthy and quick option that many favour are a very cold choice for winter. If you find oats time consuming then our trick is to soak them overnight. This makes the cook time the next morning is considerably quicker.

Why Red Bridge?

We’re often asked where the name comes from. For us, Red Bridge symbolises transition, connection and care - a space to move from one state of health to another, with the right support along the way.

Red Bridge speaks to place, connection and transition. It’s a nod to the community we’ve joined and a space to move through health challenges and life stages.
We’re a family-run practice that takes the time - to listen, to adapt treatments and to make sure every visit feels calm, clear and personal.

Gentle, whole-person care — for all ages and all walks of life.
