Wild Heart Acupuncture
Acupuncture & NET for Women's Health, Hormones & Chronic Pain in Blackwood, Adelaide
Find Balance. Feel Whole. Live Wild at Heart.
You’re the one everyone relies on. The organiser, the carer, the one holding all the moving pieces together; at work, at home, for everyone else. This is the one place where you do not have to hold it together. Come as you are. I’ll take it from here.
At Wild Heart Acupuncture,I work with women navigating emotional overwhelm, hormonal changes, the kind of tired that sleep does not fix. My approach blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with an evidence informed, root cause perspective. Because lasting change, comes from understanding what is actually driving your symptoms, not just managing them.
Emotional Wellbeing | Women’s Health | Chronic Pain
My Approach
I work with women carrying significant responsibility – at work, at home, or both – who are ready to stop managing symptoms and start understanding what is actually going on.
Your fatigue, your pain, your hormone changes: they are not random, and you are not broken. They are connected to your stress, your history, your nervous system, and the weight of everything you carry. Lasting results come from understanding the whole picture, not just treating what’s on the surface.
As a degree-qualified practitioner, my practice is grounded in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and supported by an evidence-informed understanding of the body. I bring together acupuncture, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), and years of experience working with people and their emotions through my background in Human Resources. I can support you with what you’re feeling physically, and what’s underneath it.
You won’t be rushed here. I take the time to listen, connect the dots, and create a space where you feel genuinely seen and cared for. I’ll be honest with you from the very first session: real change takes time. You’ll leave with a clear plan, realistic expectations, and the tools to support yourself between treatments, so the results stay with you long after you leave the clinic.
I have a clinical focus on supporting:
Hormonal balance and cycle regulation
Fatigue, stress, and nervous system support
Perimenopause and menopause transitions
Emotional wellbeing, including anxiety and overwhelm
Chronic pain (e.g. lower back pain, pelvic pain etc)
Whether you’re navigating burnout, chronic pain, or hormonal change, you are welcome here. My role is to support your body to do what it’s designed to do: adapt, recover, and find its way back to balance.

Women’s Health
Health doesn't stay still. It moves through the cycles of a month and the seasons of a life: periods, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and everything in between. At Wild Heart Acupuncture, I treat that whole arc, rather than chasing whatever symptom happens to be loudest this week.
Care here is shaped around the person in front of me, not a generic protocol. I bring together the traditions of Chinese Medicine with an evidence-informed perspective, so what you get is grounded in genuine clinical knowledge and relevant to the life you're actually living.
What I commonly help with
Perimenopause and menopause
Irregular or painful periods, and PMS
Fatigue and disrupted sleep
Stress, burnout and emotional wellbeing
If one of these is front of mind, you'll find more detail on the Menstrual & Hormonal Health page or the Perimenopause & Menopause page. If you're somewhere in between or not quite sure, that's a completely normal place to start, and we can work it out together at your first visit.
One underlying framework. Many life stages
Chinese Medicine views women's health through the lens of Qi and Blood flow, and the condition of the Liver, Spleen, and Kidney systems. Disruption to any of these can show up differently depending on your stage of life: pain and irregularity during your cycling years, fatigue during pregnancy recovery, heat and disrupted sleep through perimenopause. Different presentation, same underlying principle: restore the flow, and the body tends to settle.
On the physiological side, that translates to better-regulated hormones, improved blood flow to the reproductive organs, and a nervous system that's better equipped to handle whatever stress life is currently throwing at you.
How a visit unfolds
Expect a real conversation first, about your history, your current symptoms, and the broader context of your life, not just the complaint that brought you through the door. Treatment is then built specifically for you: acupuncture, and where useful, moxibustion, cupping, Gua Sha, or herbal support, alongside practical guidance you can actually use outside the clinic.
Why I work this way
The physical, the emotional, and the stage of life you're in are tangled together more than most healthcare acknowledges. Treating them together, instead of in isolation, is how lasting change actually happens.
If you'd like care that takes in the whole picture, book an appointment and we'll go from there.
