Women’s Health & Wellness

At Dunsborough Acupuncture we love Women & we’re super passionate about supporting each Woman through her unique health & wellness journey.

Women’s health can be confusing and complicated due to the many variables that impact how we feel on a day-to-day basis. Our health and wellbeing is intrinsically connected to our hormones, cycle, diet, sleep, hydration, weight, fitness and stress levels among other things. Add to the mix raising children, working and running a home, women have a lot on their plate and are notoriously guilty at taking care of everyone but themselves. At Dunsborough Acupuncture we see a lot of women who are experiencing some form of burnout being reflected in their health, oftentimes producing symptoms so pronounced that they cannot be ignored.

We are also often seeing women who are finding mainstream women’s health protocols as being either ineffective or an unacceptable treatment option for them. Therefore, as women search for alternatives the demand is sky-rocketing for a more integrative and holistic healthcare approach to the ever growing field of women’s health.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history and a completely unique understanding surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of women’s health issues. The TCM medical model allows for thoughtful, individualistic care with treatment protocols that change as the patients needs evolve.

Acupuncture is a gentle, safe, non-invasive, non-toxic treatment which many women find effective to help promote optimum health and wellness whilst helping them to manage stress and feel calmer. Here at Dunsborough Acupuncture we love our role in helping women achieve their health goals and are proud that our Acupuncturists are able to skilfully fuse both traditional and modern treatment techniques to ensure each woman is receiving effective, individualised care.
