"I work with women who don't feel like themselves anymore — who know something's off, even when the tests say otherwise — and help them feel clearer, freer, and more at ease."

You’re not here to go back to who you were.

You’re here to feel better than that.

Are you experiencing…

Exhaustion that rest doesn’t fix
Anxiety that doesn’t make sense
Sleep that’s broken or gone completely
Hormonal shifts — irregular cycles, PMS, perimenopause, hot flushes
Pain that’s become too familiar
Gut and digestive issues
A mood that feels out of your control
A body that doesn’t feel like yours anymore
A quiet sense that something is off — even when the tests say you’re fine

You’ve probably tried things that helped, but then it stopped helping.

And you’ve been told your results look fine.

What most approaches miss is the pattern underneath — the particular way your body has learned to cope, protect, and signal over time. Chinese medicine starts there. Not with the presenting complaint, but with you: your history, your constitution, the whole picture.

I’m Nicola Douglas, an acupuncturist in New Plymouth with over 24 years of clinical experience.

Sessions are thorough and unhurried. We talk. I listen to more than your symptoms. And we work with what’s actually going on — not just what’s on paper.

You don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t need the right words.

The initial consultation includes a full conversation and your first treatment. You leave having already begun.

When you’re ready, I’d love to hear from you.

If you have questions first, reach out — I’d love to help you figure out if I’m the right fit.
