For over 15 years, caring for Papamoa and Tauranga — treating everyday injuries and supporting countless mums through pregnancy and birth.
Acupuncture offers a gentle, evidence-informed way to support your body's natural ability to heal. My practice is rooted in Japanese acupuncture, a style that values gentle, precise techniques and highly individualised treatment. Every session is tailored to your unique needs—whether you're recovering from injury, navigating pregnancy, supporting your child's health, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again.

Tradition with purpose
Drawing on Japanese acupuncture and the principles of East Asian medicine, treatment is gentle, thoughtful, and shaped by a tradition that has evolved over centuries.

Modern professional care
Registered with the Chinese Medicine Council of New Zealand and an ACC provider, my practice combines traditional knowledge with contemporary healthcare standards and an evidence-informed approach.
People before symptoms
Good treatment starts with listening. Whether you're bringing your child, navigating pregnancy, or seeking support for your own health, care is always tailored to your individual needs.

Who We Are
Gentle by Design
Many people are surprised by how comfortable acupuncture can be. My approach draws on gentle Japanese techniques, using careful diagnosis and precise treatment that's tailored to each individual. Whether you're recovering from injury, preparing for birth or bringing your child for treatment, the aim is always the same: effective care with the least stimulation necessary.
A few of the mostly needle-free techniques that make treatment easy for children.
A 17th-century Japanese method using gentle tools instead of needles — deeply calming for sensitive or anxious kids.
A soothing massage technique most kids love — we'll often teach you the routine to continue at home.
Gentle suction that eases coughs and colds and just feels good — kids genuinely love it.
A totally painless, 20-second stimulation that feels like a tickle — ideal for needle-shy kids.
It's a privilege to be trusted with people's health. I'm grateful to the patients who've taken the time to share their experiences.
Paul was great — pragmatic, and took a genuine whole-body approach rather than just focusing on one thing. I always felt properly looked after and understood.
Love Paul's overall holistic approach — he really listens, and takes the time to understand what's actually going on rather than just treating the surface.
I would see Paul every week if I could. I love his holistic and down to earth approach. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about health and well-being. Highly recommend.
"Paul is so humble and just quietly 'knows' what is going on. Every session left me feeling calm and properly looked after, on every level — physically, mentally, and emotionally."

A few of the questions I get asked most often — get in touch if yours isn't here.
Tired of feeling worn down, in pain, or just not quite right — and tired of solutions that only mask it? Your body already knows how to heal. Sometimes it just needs the right support to get there. Book an appointment and let's get you started.
