Hi, I’m Coco – The Acupuncture Woman
I founded The Acupuncture Woman to create a welcoming space for those seeking natural, holistic care. Whether you’re navigating stress, managing chronic discomfort, exploring fertility support, or simply aiming to feel more balanced, I’m here to walk alongside you.
My approach blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with the grounding principles of yoga, offering personalised acupuncture in Wellington that supports your overall wellbeing in a gentle and restorative way.
Everyone is welcome—women, men, and all individuals looking to reconnect with their health and sense of balance.
Integrative, Trauma-Informed Care
I am certified as a veteran-ready practitioner, with a focus on trauma-informed care. My clinic provides a supportive environment for nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and long-term resilience. I work with individuals navigating addiction recovery, chronic stress, and mood-related challenges in a compassionate, individualised way—offering personalised acupuncture in Wellington that respects each person’s unique journey.
Specialised Support for Hormonal Health & More
I offer specialised support in women’s health, particularly during perimenopause and menopause, using a blend of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance. Treatments can complement HRT or serve as a natural wellness option. I also support clients with cycle regulation, sleep patterns, digestive wellbeing, and burnout—providing personalised acupuncture in Wellington tailored to your individual needs.
Bridging Neuroscience and Tradition
My acupuncture practice is deeply informed by Neuropuncture™, a modern system that integrates neuroscience with classical Chinese medicine. She has completed three Neuropuncture™ trainings, including advanced hands-on work with Dr. Michael Corradino, focusing on electroacupuncture protocols for pain, trauma, neurological conditions, sleep, and emotional health. This specialised training allows her to offer treatments that are both scientifically grounded and intuitively tailored to each client.
My Areas of Focus
Yoga – Movement as Medicine
Alongside acupuncture and herbal medicine, I offer individual yoga therapy and trauma-informed group classes to support deeper wellbeing. These sessions are designed for people navigating stress, fatigue, sleep disturbances, or hormonal transitions—encouraging the body to integrate treatment and restore balance through mindful movement.
These offerings complement my work in personalised acupuncture in Wellington, creating a holistic experience that supports emotional and physical resilience.
Diagnostic Precision
Japanese Acupuncture Expertise
I’ve trained extensively in Japanese palpation-based acupuncture with master Kiiko Matsumoto. Her diagnostic precision has deeply shaped my clinical style, allowing me to deliver treatments that are both responsive and intuitive—grounded in tactile feedback and traditional wisdom.
Women’s Health Focus
Support Through Every Life Stage
I specialise in women’s health, particularly perimenopause and menopause, using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support—either alongside HRT or as a natural alternative. I also work with fertility, cycle regulation, sleep, digestion, and burnout.
Whole-Person Healing
Compassionate, Individualised Care
I believe true healing happens when we treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. My role is to listen deeply, draw on decades of training, and create a personalised plan that supports your long-term wellbeing with clarity, compassion, and care.
