Who Are We?

Hello and welcome, my name is Shannon, and I am the founder of Inner Compass Healing. As a registered AHPRA practitioner specializing in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, I have a particular focus on treating musculoskeletal pain, managing acute injuries, supporting female health and wellbeing, and providing assistance to individuals with disabilities and first responders. I am also a qualified Exercise Scientist with extensive experience in helping children with complex and rare disabilities.

At Inner Compass Healing, our space is more than just a clinic; it is a calm, nurturing environment designed to encourage you to slow down, feel safe, and reconnect with your body. Our goal is to guide you gently back into balance through Classical Chinese Medicine practices, which include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage, cupping, tuina, guasha, and personalized dietary and lifestyle advice.

At Inner Compass Healing, we provide treatments that are deeply rooted in the wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and tailored dietary and lifestyle advice. Whether you’re dealing with musculoskeletal pain, an acute injury, chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, hormonal imbalances, or women's health concerns, we meet you exactly where you are. Our approach emphasizes care and respect, offering a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific goals.

At Inner Compass Healing, we believe that when symptoms like musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, or unregulated emotions arise, it’s your body’s innate intelligence trying to communicate with you, signaling that something is off and needs to shift.  

In our clinic, our role isn’t to ‘fix’ you, but to support you in understanding what your body has been trying to convey. We gently guide you through the wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine, which includes acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.  

We invite you to look inward, slow down, and reconnect with your 'inner compass'; exploring what balance might look like for you, with gentle care and tailored support. Whether you are recovering from an acute injury or dealing with chronic issues, we offer massage and other therapies to aid in your journey.  

Your body is intelligent, wise, and capable of so much more than we often give it credit for. Through tailored, compassionate treatment, we’ll help you reconnect with your health and sense of self in a way that feels right for you.
