About us

Two practitioners, one quiet philosophy.

Don and Jane share a belief that health is balance — of Qi, of movement, of what you eat and how you rest. Their clinic in Conifer Grove is built around unhurried, personal care.

Members of the New Zealand Acupuncture Standards Authority (NZASA) and the New Zealand Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Society (NZCMAS). Registered ACC treatment providers.

Don

Don is highly experienced in Chinese medicine. He previously practised at the Papakura and Pukekohe acupuncture clinics before establishing Conifer Grove Acupuncture & Therapies.

His approach uses the balance of Qi to maintain health, combining acupuncture with Chinese diet therapy matched to each person's body constitution — so that what happens between visits supports what happens on the table.

Don has also taught Tai Chi for around twenty years, and brings that understanding of breath, posture and slow strength into how he treats movement and pain.

Jane

Jane holds a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in Acupuncture and has more than ten years of clinical experience in healthcare settings.

She tailors every session, drawing on acupuncture, cupping, trigger-point release — with needles or acupressure — and soft-tissue therapy to suit the patient and the problem.

Jane's special interests are musculoskeletal injuries and women's health, from menstrual pain and hormone imbalance through to menopause.
