Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a gentle and effective way to support your overall health and wellbeing at any stage of life. Treatments are designed to help your body find balance, ease pain, calm the nervous system and support hormonal, emotional and physical health. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, recovering from injury, managing stress or simply wanting to feel more in tune with your body, acupuncture offers a natural and restorative path forward. Each session is tailored to you, creating space to slow down, reconnect and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

Acupuncture at LifeCycles

Acupuncture at LifeCycles is grounded in both traditional wisdom and modern care. Melissa combines her experience as a registered acupuncturist, midwife and naturopath to offer treatments that are gentle, personalised and deeply supportive. Whether you’re coming in for pain relief, hormonal support or emotional wellbeing, you’ll be cared for in a calm and welcoming space. Each session looks at the whole picture, not just symptoms, and includes time to talk through lifestyle, stress, sleep and anything else that may be affecting your health..
