Allanah is a dedicated and passionate Acupuncturist and integrative lymphatic massage therapist who brings a holistic and personalised approach to health and wellbeing. She graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture Therapies) from Endeavour College of Natural Health in Sydney, and combines this with specialised training in lymphatic massage to support her clients in achieving balance, resilience and long-term wellness.
Allanah’s journey into Acupuncture began from her own health experience navigating two autoimmune conditions. Through her personal healing path, she discovered the profound benefits of Chinese medicine and the body’s innate capacity for restoration. This ignited a deep commitment to natural health, inspiring her to study Acupuncture and integrative therapies so she could support others with compassion, insight and evidence-informed care. Alongside acupuncture, Allanah developed a strong interest in the lymphatic system and its vital role in immunity, detoxification and fluid balance, recognising how lymphatic massage and acupuncture work synergistically to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation and support whole-body nervous system regulation.
With a lifelong interest in overall health, nutrition and movement, Allanah takes a whole-person view in her practice — recognising that emotional, physical and environmental factors are all interconnected in shaping wellbeing. She also holds qualifications as a mat Pilates instructor, bringing an added depth to her understanding of movement, posture and functional rehabilitation

She also enjoys reading, travelling and spending quality time with loved ones and her pets. She is deeply interested in practices such as breathwork and meditation, which continue to shape both her personal wellbeing and the way she supports her patients in clinic.
