Our Story
The Full Circle Acupuncture story began with a small gum leaf.
While Dr. Steve was completing a meditation walk through bushland in the Byron Bay hinterland, he noticed something that seemed out of place.
Nestled amongst the rocks and twigs on the ground, was a gum leaf - curled in a flat spiral, making a near perfect circle.
He saw the full circle leaf as representing a return to self, particularly his decision to return to acupuncture and Chinese medicine practice.
Since that time, he has found many more full circle leaves, which he sees as confirmation that he is on the right path.
Let us help you come full circle, back to good health and wellbeing, back to self.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and much of Asia over thousands of years and is now widely used in modern healthcare. It involves the gentle insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body to support natural healing processes, regulate the nervous system, and restore balance.
In Australia, the practice of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is recognised as a health profession and regulated by Chinese Medicine Board of Australia and AHPRA. This means that a university degree in Acupuncture or Chinese Medicine and continuing professional development is required in order to be registered.
Today, acupuncture is increasingly supported by scientific research.
