Our highly trained and registered Brisbane acupuncture practitioners

We are members of the peak professional acupuncture body, the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association.

Nathan Francis is the owner of this Brisbane acupuncture studio and he’s also a practitioner of Chinese medicine with 10+ years of experience.

Nathan began his acupuncture journey in Brisbane in 2002, when he enrolled in a health science degree majoring in acupuncture.

In China in 2008, Nathan worked alongside medical doctors who focus on acupuncture.

Since then, he has remained at the forefront of acupuncture practice through professional training.

Nathan is a member of AACMA.

You are met with compassion, respect, acceptance, good humour and professionalism whenever you visit Margi Macdonald.

A seasoned Brisbane acupuncture practitioner, Margi is a fully accredited member of AACMA – the peak professional association for Australian acupuncturists and Chinese medicine health practitioners.

About our approach

We use acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, Gua Sha, dietary work, Tui Na bodywork and sometimes herbs and lifestyle advice.

During a treatment, you can relax, close your eyes, meditate and even fall asleep.

We select points according to your Chinese medicine diagnosis and leave the acupuncture needles in situ for anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes.

It all depends on the protocol we are following at the time of your treatment.

Finding patterns

When you come into our clinic, our Brisbane acupuncture practitioners ask you questions and look for signs that reflect a Chinese medicine pattern within your system. Come in to see us to find out more.

Professional care through acupuncture

Our acupuncture sessions involve the placement of very thin, single-use stainless steel pins into acupuncture points located on the body. Due to their extensive clinical experience, the practitioners at our acupuncture clinic skillfully combine points that may change from treatment to treatment.

Beyond acupuncture

Chinese medicine includes many adjunct modalities that are in addition to acupuncture. Your sessions with our Brisbane acupuncture therapists may also involve dietary advice, moxibustion, herbs, massage, Gua Sha or cupping.

Dry needling

Soothe’s Brisbane acupuncture therapists unite acupuncture with the modern-day concept of dry needling.

Does acupuncture hurt? And other questions …

If it’s appropriate at the time of your session, we may recommend you get some cupping, Gua Sha or moxibustion as well.

That depends on what’s happening with you at the time of your treatment. We can chat about your current situation when you come in for your first appointment.

Know that acupuncture needles are very fine: much thinner than a syringe or even a dressmaker pin.
