Gentle, Effective, Evidence-Informed Acupuncture in Melbourne

BOOK appointment

Welcome to Acupuncture Moxa Melbourne, led by Dr. Sara Oveissi, PhD (Medical Sciences), MAppSc (Acupuncture)​.

Personalised Treatments for Every Patient

No two people are alike. Your treatment with me is tailored to your unique constitution, health history, and current condition. Every person carries their own story- past/present illnesses, injuries and major life events all shape the state of your health today. These experiences aren’t just background details; they’re meaningful signposts that guide me on your treatment journey.

 

At the heart of my approach is listening- to YOU and to YOUR BODY. I take the time to understand how your health has changed, how you feel today, and where you want and can be. Whether you’re seeking relief from persistent symptoms or aiming to restore balance after a challenging chapter, your treatment plan will be clear, practical, and personal. Healing is not one-size-fits-all. Your story matters, and I am here to walk with you every step of the way.

A Comprehensive Approach

I address not just symptoms, but the root causes of imbalance. My therapies include Japanese acupuncture, Chinese acupuncture, moxibustion, food and lifestyle advice to support your long-term health and wellbeing.
