Pain can come from injury, tension, degeneration, overuse, or sometimes with no clear cause at all. Acupuncture appointments look at how the pain developed, what aggravates it, and the wider factors such as movement, sleep, stress and recovery that may be contributing.

Years Experience
ACUPUNCTURE FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH, FERTILITY & COMPLEX HEALTH
When your health starts affecting your energy, cycle, fertility, pain levels or ability to get through everyday life, you want more than a quick fix.
At Nurturing Life, acupuncture treatment is tailored to you, your symptoms and what is happening in your body right now.
I work with women through fertility and IVF, menstrual and hormonal concerns, endometriosis, perimenopause and menopause, persistent pain, digestive problems, stress, fatigue and more complex chronic health concerns.
Whether something has changed recently or you have been dealing with symptoms for years, treatment starts by looking at the bigger picture.
About Dr. April Wood- Doctor of Chinese Medicine/ Acupuncture/ Registered Acupuncturist
Practicing since 2004
Nurturing Life started out in Brisbane, but has now been located in the Dandenong Ranges in both Upwey and Tecoma, (Melbourne’s East) since 2014. Over this time I have continued to grow my knowledge base, techniques, and skills so that I can best serve you.
It’s amazing the amount of ground we can cover in an appointment. On your initial appointment we go through what your main priorities and goals are for your treatments. We may discuss other areas of your health/lifestyle which may be impacting your current health concerns. Understanding what’s going on for you and how you use your body is key to getting those long-term results. As a Chinese medicine practitioner I incorporate the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, diet, exercise and lifestyle advice making sure you get the best possible outcome in the shortest timeframe.
Working with April is so much more than just acupuncture
One of my absolute passions is making sure that you learn the skills to be able to manage your health after you leave my care.
Understand the why behind your symptoms, what to do when they crop up, and what you can do to prevent them from happening in the first place. With indepth instructions, and the option for deeper learning online, you are set to get on top of your health issues- and understand what to do if they return.
“April is the expert. I have traversed early motherhood right through to my 40s with April’s assistance. She is knowledgable and always has extra tricks and tips to offer that I can apply at home, in between visits, to help maintain optimal health. An appointment with April is always my first point of care if I need to maintain balance and harmony in my body and spirit. April’s care and attention to detail is paramount.”
