WHAT IS CLASSICAL ACUPUNCTURE

Supporting Your Body's Natural Ability to Heal

Classical Acupuncture can help relieve pain, support recovery from injury, and assist in managing a wide range of acute and chronic health concerns. Whether you are experiencing back or neck pain, headaches, sports injuries, stress-related conditions, or ongoing health concerns, treatment is tailored to your individual needs. While providing symptom relief, Classical Acupuncture also takes a whole-person approach, considering the underlying patterns that may be contributing to your health.

Pain can place ongoing stress on the body and nervous system. By helping to relieve acute and chronic pain, acupuncture supports the body's ability to relax, recover, and function more effectively, creating the conditions for improved health and wellbeing.

WARM AND PATIENT-CENTRED APPROACH

Because every person is more than their symptoms

At Te Tīeke, every treatment begins by taking the time to understand not just your condition, but the person as a whole. Through detailed consultation, pulse and tongue assessment, and careful observation, the underlying patterns contributing to your symptoms are identified. By treating the whole person rather than simply managing symptoms, Classical Acupuncture supports your body’s natural ability to heal, restore balance, and improve overall wellbeing.

THE STORY BEHIND TE TĪEKE

Saddie the Saddleback

Around 2014, a little tīeke (saddleback) began visiting the window of Diana's home near Zealandia. Named Saddie, he returned again and again, becoming a much-loved visitor and a reminder that understanding often grows through careful observation over time. When it came time to name her practice, Te Tīeke felt like the natural choice - a tribute to a small bird whose quiet presence continues to inspire Diana's approach to care.

Testimonials

  • "Ten years before Covid I had an immune system illness that left me without energy and vulnerable to every cold and flu making the rounds. My GP sent me to Diana for acupuncture, and the effect was impressive. Over the years Diana has helped with other specific problems, but we also now refer to our ongoing treatments as maintenance and wellbeing."

  • 'I’ve been seeing Diana for many years to help me with injuries, stress and to make sure my system is in balance. Diana is really easy to get on with, is very gentle and always seems to be able to work out what needs support. I highly recommend her."

    — JH

  • "Regular acupuncture treatments with Diana have done more to relieve and resolve the pain of endometriosis than anything else I’ve tried. Diana takes such a holistic and thoughtful approach, and I’ve found her treatments incredibly effective — not just for managing symptoms, but for preventing them from returning. I highly recommend her."
