Hands-on learning in clinic 🩸🌿

Here’s our Clinical Assistant Holly getting some blood letting practice under supervision. At AAC, we’re big on proper training, technique, and understanding when and why a treatment is appropriate.

Blood letting is a specialised method within Chinese Medicine and, when used correctly, can be a valuable tool in supporting circulation and addressing certain pain patterns.

We love seeing our team grow in skill and confidence while maintaining the highest standards of care! 🌸

“I love treating the person, not just the condition.” 🌿

In this video, Adibah shares what she values most about Chinese Medicine — the ability to see beyond a diagnosis and truly understand the individual in front of her.

Because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal, layered, and unique to you. 💚

Moxibustion in action 🔥🌿

Moxa is a traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses gentle, therapeutic warmth to help support circulation, ease muscle tension, and encourage the body’s natural healing response. Many patients find it deeply relaxing and a powerful addition to their acupuncture treatment.

Every application is carefully chosen based on your individual presentation, ensuring the right amount of warmth exactly where your body needs it.

Interested in trying moxa as part of your treatment? Ask us about it at your next visit or schedule a session to experience the benefits!

What if healthcare wasn’t just about treatment… but about transformation?

In this interview, Adibah shares her personal mission: creating a healthier society where people feel empowered to take accountability for their own health and wellbeing. 🌿

Because true wellness begins with awareness, education, and small daily choices that add up over time.

We’re so excited to have her bringing this vision into the clinic.

“Move with awareness, not force — let your body set the pace this Year of the Horse.” 🐎

The Year of the Horse brings energy and forward motion, but real progress happens when the body feels supported, balanced, and listened to. Moving with awareness helps prevent overload and allows strength and resilience to build naturally over time.

✨ If your body is asking for support as you move into the year ahead, get in touch or book online to start the year feeling steadier and stronger!

Electro-acupuncture in action ⚡🌿

Electro-acupuncture gently delivers a mild electrical current through the needles, enhancing stimulation to support pain relief, muscle recovery, and overall balance. It’s often used for chronic pain, tight muscles, or areas that need a little extra help to reset and heal.

Every session is tailored to your body’s needs, so treatment is safe, effective, and personalised.

💡 Curious if electro-acupuncture could support your recovery or pain management? Ask us at your next appointment or book online today!
