Situated in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania, our centre is a sanctuary for those seeking to restore their physical and emotional equilibrium. We are a team of dedicated professionals, committed to providing you with the highest standard of care in traditional Chinese medicine.
Our Services
At Hobart Traditional Acupuncture Centre, we offer a range of services designed to promote health, healing, and well-being. Our primary service is acupuncture, a time-tested therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body. Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, from musculoskeletal pain and stress to gastrointestinal disorders and reproductive health issues.
In addition to acupuncture, we also offer counselling services. We recognise the powerful connection between physical and emotional health, and we are here to support you in all aspects of your well-being. Our counselling sessions provide a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and to develop strategies for managing life's challenges.
Another modality we offer is cupping, an ancient Chinese practice that involves creating a vacuum on the skin to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. This technique can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including respiratory disorders, muscle pain, and digestive issues.
Finally, we are proud to offer Qigong classes. Qigong is a mind-body practice that involves gentle movement, breathwork, and meditation. It is an effective way to reduce stress, boost immunity, and enhance overall health and well-being. Our classes are suitable for all levels, and we welcome students of all ages and abilities.
About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that has been used for thousands of years to promote health and healing. It involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points. These points lie along energy pathways, known as meridians, and their stimulation can help to regulate the flow of energy, or Qi, throughout the body.
Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, from musculoskeletal pain and stress to gastrointestinal disorders and reproductive health issues. It is a safe and effective treatment option that can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies.
At Hobart Traditional Acupuncture Centre, we use only sterile, single-use needles, and we adhere to the highest standards of safety and hygiene. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we will work with you to ensure that your acupuncture experience is as pleasant and beneficial as possible.
About Qigong
Qigong is a mind-body practice that involves gentle movement, breathwork, and meditation. It is an effective way to reduce stress, boost immunity, and enhance overall health and well-being. Qigong practice can help to improve balance, flexibility, and strength, and it can also promote relaxation, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.
At Hobart Traditional Acupuncture Centre, we offer Restorative Qigong classes, which are suitable for all levels. Our classes are taught by Steve Thomas, a highly experienced Qigong teacher and practitioner.
