What we do
Treatments, tailored to you
No two treatments at Being are the same. We blend acupuncture, cupping, moxa and herbs, sometimes all in one visit, guided by traditional wisdom and what your body is asking for on the day.
Cupping
Gentle suction to release tension, improve circulation, and ease discomfort.
Moxibustion
A warming treatment using the herb mugwort to stimulate healing and improve energy flow.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbal formulas prescribed by qualified practitioners to restore balance and support body systems.
Process Work
A mindfulness-based approach integrating body, emotion and awareness, for growth and emotional healing.
Not sure what you need?
That's normal. Book a first appointment and we'll figure it out together, that's what the 90 minutes is for.
Book a first visitThe clinic
A warm room, not a cold clinic
We've designed Being to treat you, and to nurture you. Exposed brick, soft amber light, an antique velvet chair, herb tinctures on the shelves and an unhurried pace. Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, we practise a gentle Japanese style of acupuncture, with cupping, moxibustion and herbal remedies to bring you back to health.

What a first visit looks like
A proper chat about you and your lifestyle, gentle diagnosis (we may take your pulse and do a physical check), a tailored treatment, and advice to take home. Unhurried, and yes, most people leave calmer than they came.

Scared of Needles? Why Japanese-Style Acupuncture Barely Feels Like Anything
if the idea of needles makes you tense up, you're not weird, you're normal. here's why Japanese-style acupuncture feels like almost nothing, and how we keep it gentle.
Liver Season Is Here: How to Move With Spring (TCM Style)
Spring is in the building, which means Liver season is here. Here's why Traditional Chinese Medicine reads the seasons, the signs your Qi might be stuck, and the simple medicine of greens, movement and letting it out.
A Moment for Moxa: What Moxibustion Is and Why We Love It
A moment for moxa, yo. Here's what that warm, herby, slightly-smoky ritual actually is, why we love it in the clinic, and whether you'll walk out smelling like a campfire (spoiler: not really).

Questions, answered
Does acupuncture hurt?
For most people, no. The needles are hair-fine and inserted gently, especially in the Japanese style we practise. You might feel a tiny tap or a dull warmth, but sharp pain isn't normal. If anything's uncomfortable, tell us and we adjust straight away.
Can I claim on my private health fund?
Yes, we're set up with HICAPS, so if your fund covers acupuncture you can claim your rebate on the spot and only pay the gap. Just bring your health-fund card.
I'm genuinely needle-phobic. Can I still come?
Absolutely, and you wouldn't be our first. Let us know when you book or arrive. We start slow, use very few needles, explain each step, and go at your pace.
How much is it and how long?
First appointment is $170 (90 minutes, including consult). Standard return visits are $120 (60 minutes). An extended return is $170 (90 minutes).
