Dr Sahar Shakaib

Acupuncturist

I was introduced to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in my teens and almost instantly fascinated by its ability to not only resolve ailments which presented on a physical level, but its ability to make people feel happy and calm, healing them on a deeper level. After completing my work experience at a TCM clinic and gaining a part time job as an assistant to the practitioner, I decided I wanted to study Chinese Medicine after I completed year 12. Today, I continually strive for self-improvement in my field with the desire to serve the community as best I can. I treat an array of conditions including stress, anxiety, depression, back pain, sports injuries, headaches and migraines, common colds and flus, PMS and symptoms of menopause. Being able to help people is truly one of my greatest joys, particularly when people have turned to TCM after “trying everything” without achieving the desired results. Having the ability to assist people attain the results that they were hoping for, which in turn leads to a much improved quality of daily life is something I am deeply grateful for. I offer Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Cupping Therapy, Gua Sha and Moxibustion. All treatments are specifically prepared for each individual and altered according to the treatment plan.
