About Rachel

Through gentle and relaxing acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques, my aim is to help you consistently move upwards towards your health goals. I am extremely passionate about the work I do, and enjoy seeing people fulfill their potential through acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

I work with only one patient per session so you get my full attention and time. Previous to my training I lived and traveled extensively overseas, including Asia where I lived for 3 years. These wonderful years combined with my interest in natural health and Asian philosophy brought me to the art of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.

I am a member of Full Circle Acupuncture.
Full Circle Acupuncture is a group of Wellington acupuncturists dedicated to specialty education and public awareness in the field of acupuncture and women’s health.

I am a member of AMH – Acupuncture for Mental Health.
The Acupuncture for Mental Health clinical forum (AMH) is a group of qualified and registered practitioners with a primary interest in public advocacy, education and delivery of acupuncture in the field of mental health. www.amh-nz.org

I am an assessor for Acupuncture New Zealand.

I have over 15 years experience and have previously worked at Fertility Associates in an acupuncture capacity. I also currently facilitate antenatal classes. As well as Chinese Herbal medicine, I am a registered practitioner for Proherb and Metagenics.
