Experienced Acupuncturists and Oriental Medicine Practitioners in Green Point and Erina on the Central Coast
With over 30 years of clinical experience, we are fully registered health practitioners offering acupuncture and traditional East Asian medicine in Green Point and Erina on the NSW Central Coast.
Our clinic specialises in both Chinese and Japanese acupuncture techniques, including Zen Shiatsu, Japanese acupressure massage, and a range of traditional healing arts. We provide a deeply integrative approach to wellness, drawing from the rich medical traditions of China and Japan.
After living and training in Japan for three years, we developed a unique practice style that blends the best of both Chinese and Japanese medicine. This cross-cultural foundation adds depth and authenticity to our work in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and meditative therapies.
About our services in Green Point on the Central Coast
Zen Shiatsu Massage Therapy
Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Zen philosophy. It involves rhythmic, focused pressure along the body’s meridians—energy pathways—using fingers, thumbs, palms, and sometimes elbows or knees. This treatment helps to balance the body’s "Ki" (life energy), ease physical and emotional tension, and promote deep healing and relaxation.
Integrating Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science
We have a strong interest in bridging traditional healing practices with modern research, particularly in:
-
Herbal pharmacology and botanical medicine
-
The physiological benefits of meditation and breathwork
-
Energy therapies such as acupuncture and Shiatsu
-
The role of conscious movement in wellbeing
