Tracey Shewan
Journey to Acupuncture
After years spent following various paths of study and work, Tracey became interested in holistic approaches to health and well-being.
Her interest in Chinese medicine developed after attending an introductory course. She was drawn to its holistic framework, which views health in the context of the whole person and environment rather than isolated symptoms.
Tracey’s work with clients emphasises practical strategies that can be incorporated into daily life to support recovery, balance, and overall well-being alongside acupuncture treatment.
She completed four years of training to earn a Diploma in Acupuncture from the New Zealand College of Chinese Medicine and is a Registered Acupuncturist with the Chinese Medicine Council of New Zealand. This requires a minimum of 22 hours of professional development each year to maintain registration.
Client-Centred, Evidence-Informed Care
Tracey’s primary aim when working with clients is to reduce symptoms and relieve pain, while considering changes that may support long-term improvement.
Treatment approach is grounded in clinical experience and supported by evidence for many conditions. Acupuncture can influence a range of physiological processes and may help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
Individual responses to treatment vary. Treatment is adjusted as needed according to each client’s response.
