Emma Griffin - ACUPUNCTURIST

Emma is our clinic Acupuncturist. She practices the Traditional Chinese Medicine method of treatment.  This is a full body approach which may include the traditional diagnostic tool of taking your pulse and looking at your tongue. She may also ask questions regarding your constitution to help form a diagnosis and treatment plan. Although some might find the idea of needles scary or painful, the treatment itself is usually very gentle and surprisingly relaxing. Many people are astonished at how little they feel the needles going in and the how quickly the needles can relieve tension and pain and bring the body back into balance. Emma completed her master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine while living in San Francisco, during which time she also completed over 1100 supervised clinical hours in a community clinic to qualify for graduation.

More About Emma:

Emma was born and raised in Alice Springs (NT) At 18 she headed off to uni to study science. After graduation, she took a year long trip to the USA where she worked as a nanny. She then moved to Japan for 18 months to teach English. It was there that she met her wonderful husband, who happened to be an American. After that, it was over the California for 10 years where she discovered acupuncture and started studying.

After their son was born, Emma longed for the quiet life of Australia and so the family of three moved back to Queensland. She began a solo acupuncture practice but, happily, Rachel invited her to be part of Stillpoint Therapies where she practices today.

In her free time Emma can be found hanging out with her family and dogs, hiking the back trails and beaches of our great region, or trying to master tricky yoga poses.
