About Sakura Acupuncture Brisbane
Nestled in a peaceful corner of Carina, you’ll find Sakura Acupuncture Brisbane - a sanctuary dedicated to supporting women’s health through natural and holistic methods.
Your Journey to Health and Wellbeing
The hectic pace of our modern lifestyle is not always conducive to wellbeing, which could be why you may be experiencing:
digestive issues
pain and inflammation
fatigue or insomnia
irregular, painful or heavy periods
and other hormone-related problems
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, optimal health is more than just physical; it incorporates your body, mind and soul.
That’s why at Sakura Acupuncture we have purposely created an environment that is as much a tranquil haven as it is a professional acupuncture clinic, to enhance every aspect of your treatment.
Meet Your Therapist
Dr Amie Akehurst is a fully qualified Acupuncturist and registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, and has a special interest in women’s health conditions, fertility and pregnancy support.
Amie has undertaken further training in a form of Japanese acupuncture known as Kiiko Matsumoto style (KMS). You will likely find that this Japanese approach is more gentle and relaxing than a standard acupuncture session, perhaps because it involves:
more delicate techniques, such as gently palpating your body
the use of much finer needles, which are not inserted as deeply
a focus on the breath
Prior to becoming a TCM practitioner, Amie studied nursing and worked in a pharmaceutical dispensary. This means that you have the assurance of working with a practitioner with a strong background in Western medicine, as well as alternative therapies.
Outside of working hours at Sakura Acupuncture Brisbane, you might find Amie at a yoga or pilates class, or cooking (and eating!) tasty, nutritious meals as part of her own personal quest for a balanced lifestyle.
Why Sakura Acupuncture Brisbane?
With a focus on gentle Japanese acupuncture, it seemed only natural to name our acupuncture clinic with a Japanese word.
Sakura means “cherry blossom”, but also “smile/laugh”, the universal symbol for happiness, which reflects our holistic approach to health and wellbeing. These delicate pink flowers appear in early spring and hint at the fruit to come – representing our focus on fertility, pregnancy and other aspects of women’s health.
