Reanna & Alastair
A warm room, and two people who listen
Being Acupuncture is a holistic health clinic in Coolangatta, on the southern Gold Coast, founded in 2019 and tucked on the first floor inside the Maverick Hair & Art space.
We've designed our space to treat you, as well as to nurture you and open you up to all that we have to offer. Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, we practise a gentle Japanese style of acupuncture and use complementing treatments such as cupping, moxibustion, massage and herbal remedies to bring you back to health.
Our aim is to help people primarily at the physical level, but we also hold an understanding that as a person grows and makes changes, there's a flow-on effect into many areas of their being.
Reanna
Reanna's journey into acupuncture and Chinese medicine began after a career in hairdressing, where she honed an eye for detail and an understanding of human connection. A dedicated practitioner, she brings a light-hearted yet deeply compassionate presence to her work, with a unique ability to hold space for people during challenging times. In acupuncture, her palpation skills are precise and intuitive, clients frequently remark on her ability to pinpoint areas of pain and tension. Her style is gentle yet effective, guiding the body into deep relaxation where its natural healing can take over. She is currently studying Process-Oriented Psychology.
Alastair
Alastair's journey into Chinese medicine began straight out of school, and his passion has only deepened over the years. Beginning clinical practice as a fresh-faced 24-year-old, he has since spent over a decade refining his skills, including extensive training in Japanese acupuncture and advanced studies in classical herbalism. He focuses on both physical and energetic alignment, addressing structural imbalances while working with the deeper flow of energy in the body, and is also exploring Process-Oriented Psychology. When he's not in the clinic, you'll find him on the mats, either choking or getting choked in Jiu-Jitsu, always embracing the balance of challenge and growth.
