Hi there!

I’m Ariel, your Acupuncturist.

I fell in love with health when working as a beauty therapist in my early 20s.
I decided to study a Naturopathy degree in 2013, when I had to defer the following year.

Though I still did what I could to stay connected to the health industry. I began work as a Chinese Medicine practitioners assistant, where I completely fell in love with Chinese Medicine.
I vowed then that if I ever got the chance to return to health, it would be Chinese Medicine.

Several years passed and a handful of jobs later, I stepped into a new phase of life and I was determined to create the life I wanted to lead.

I enrolled in a Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture degree at Endeavour College.
5 years later (and an additional Diploma in Remedial Massage - which I would never recommend to complete 2 courses at the same time), I completed my degree in December 2024.

My life is so much richer for it. I hold the valuable knowledge that is thousands of years old, I have made lifelong friends and my love for Chinese Medicine continues to grow every day.

I also hold a Diploma in Remedial Massage and am an Advanced Usui Reiki Practitioner. However, I don’t currently offer these treatments in clinic as I’m focusing all of my energy on Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

In June 2026 I attended Jeff Shearer’s Evolve Acupuncture training course and my life changed. I made connections that completely redirected my path and learnt an incredible treatment method that has levelled up and changed the way I practice and treat.

I live with my partner, my 16 year old young man and 2 cats.
I love to read, crochet, play video games, enjoy nature and cook and eat delicious food.

I’m available at Jimboomba Natural Therapies Clinic Tues-Fri.
Come in and say hi!
