Who we serve
Most people who come to Project DAO:
- Have long-term or complex symptoms and want genuine, lasting change
- Are looking for whole-person solutions, not another short-term fix
- Have tried other approaches and now want care that joins the dots
- Want a practitioner who listens deeply, explains clearly and works with them
- Value professional guidance and a cohesive treatment plan
We are a team of acupuncturists who specialise in chronic and complex cases. This is the work we do every day.
If this is what you are looking for, you are who we created Project DAO for. Welcome in.

All practitioners at Project DAO work with chronic and complex health issues.
What we commonly help with
Pain and tension (back, neck, shoulders, joints)
Stress, anxiety and sleep issues
Hormonal and menstrual concerns, including perimenopause and fertility support
Headaches and migraines
Digestive issues such as bloating, IBS-type symptoms and nausea
Long-term fatigue and post-viral recovery
Auto-immune and other complex, multi-system conditions
Support alongside medical treatment for conditions such as cancer, and neurological conditions including Parkinson’s disease, stroke, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
We work with the whole person, so these issues are always considered in the context of your wider health and life.
How your care works
We begin with your whole picture
In your first visit we take time to understand what is really happening for you. We look at patterns across sleep, digestion, hormones, movement, work and stress history, not only where it hurts.
We create a clear treatment plan
From there we draw on acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal medicine and body-based therapies to shape your treatment plan. We see this plan as the dosage of the medicine, recommending how often to come and for how long, so there is a clear path rather than a vague “see how you go”.
We review and adjust with intention
As you move through care, we keep checking in. We review your progress, make simple reassessments and adjust the plan with clear intention. You set the intention for the work; we offer the most appropriate vehicles for that work and refine them as you change.
