In a world that constantly asks you to do more, be more, and give more, your body longs for stillness, for a moment to exhale, to soften, to come home to itself.
My work bridges the wisdom of ancient acupuncture with somatic nervous system therapy, creating a space for your body to unwind the layers of chronic stress, stored emotion, and disconnection. Together, we move you back toward your natural state of calm, clarity, and embodied presence.
What I offer in a session:
Each session is designed to gently re-regulate your system from the inside out. Guiding your body out of survival mode and into safety, flow, and repair.
I weave together:
-
Somatic nervous system release acupuncture – regulating your vagus nerve, restoring flow through meridian-based medicine, and helping your body remember what safety feels like.
-
Somatic awareness practices – to meet and unwind patterns of tension, trauma, or holding that the body has stored over time.
-
Five Element emotional alchemy – transforming survival strategies and beliefs that no longer serve the person you’re becoming.
-
Fascia and body release therapy – using gentle cupping, gua sha, and myofascial techniques to release stored tension and emotional charge held within the soma (the body), supporting deeper embodiment and regulation.
-
Soul-led guidance – supporting you to reconnect with your intuition, truth, and vitality so you can live with more ease and authenticity.
Dr Fiona has completed additional training in nervous system regulation, including Vagus Nerve Therapy, manual techniques to enhance vagus nerve tone for mental and emotional well-being, lymphatic support, visceral manipulation for gut health and organ support, diaphragmatic breathing techniques for sustainable breathing patterns, and self-myofascial and osteofascial techniques to alleviate pain. Her approach to acupuncture goes beyond traditional methods, integrating these therapies to support clients in a more holistic and comprehensive way, thinking outside of the box to guide them on their healing journey.
By blending Eastern wisdom with modern expertise, Fiona offers individualised treatments designed to empower her clients to achieve optimal health and wellness. With a compassionate, trauma-informed focus, her goal is to provide a clear path to renewed wellness and inner peace. Through integrative acupuncture, each session becomes a step toward a healthier, happier you.

Fiona’s treatments focus on restoring balance to the nervous system and creating space for deep emotional healing. Through acupuncture, somatic awareness, and energy work, she helps the body and mind release stored tension, regulate stress responses, and return to a state of calm and clarity.
This work supports a wide range of mental and emotional challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma integration, chronic stress, fear and lack beliefs, low self-worth, burnout, addictions, post-traumatic stress disorder, nervous system dysregulation, and somatic stress release.
Each session is a gentle invitation to reconnect with your body, release old patterns, and rediscover a grounded sense of peace, safety, and inner strength.
Women's Health
Issues
Fiona’s treatments support women through every stage of life, helping to restore hormonal balance, regulate the nervous system, and bring harmony to both the body and emotions. By combining acupuncture, bodywork, and energetic alignment, she helps ease pain, support reproductive health, and promote overall vitality and wellbeing.
This work can assist with painful, heavy, or irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, hot flushes, insomnia, mood changes, PMS, acne and skin conditions, unexplained weight gain or loss, explained or unexplained infertility, PCOS, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and IVF or IUI support.
Each session is tailored to your individual cycle and constitution, helping the body return to its natural rhythm while calming the mind and supporting a deeper connection to feminine health and balance.
Burnout and
Fatigue
Fiona’s treatments are designed to support deep restoration for those experiencing chronic fatigue, burnout, and nervous system depletion. Modern life often pulls the body into constant stress and overdrive, leaving you exhausted, disconnected, and unable to truly rest.
By combining acupuncture, somatic nervous system support, lymphatic activation, and fascia release, Fiona helps the body shift out of survival mode and into genuine rest and repair. This work nourishes the adrenals, calms the mind, and restores a steady flow of energy throughout the system.
Each session invites you to slow down, reset, and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm. Over time, clients experience improved sleep, greater vitality, emotional clarity, and a renewed sense of grounded energy — moving from exhaustion to balance with ease and sustainability.

Currumbin
QLD, Australia
Fiona Franklin offers integrative acupuncture and somatic nervous system support in the heart of Currumbin. Her work focuses on root-cause healing by helping the body shift out of survival patterns, release held emotional tension, and return to a regulated, grounded state. Through functional acupuncture, vagus-nerve techniques, and somatic guidance, Fiona supports clients in unwinding long-held stress responses and restoring internal balance.
She understands how chronic stress, emotional suppression, burnout, and unresolved patterns can leave people feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. Her approach blends traditional Chinese medicine with nervous system–centred therapies, somatic tools, and modern mind-body insights to provide holistic, personalised care that supports deep, lasting change.
Esoteric Acupuncture & Nervous System Support
Fiona’s speciality is Esoteric Acupuncture - a deeply restorative approach that combines ancient Chinese medicine, somatic bodywork, and energy healing to support and regulate the nervous system. Each session begins with gentle fascial release and bodywork to soften the tissues and prepare the body for deeper energetic alignment. Acupuncture needles are then placed in sacred geometric patterns using the traditional names and wisdom of the meridian points, guided by the Five Element framework and emotional alchemy principles to support balance on both physical and spiritual levels.
Once the needles are places, Fiona leads a somatic embodiment and tension release practice, allowing the body to unwind stored stress and trauma. Reiki is then used to deepen relaxation and help the client drop into a profound state of stillness and restoration. The result is a treatment that not only calms the mind and regulates the nervous system but also opens the heart, clears energetic blockages, and supports lasting emotional and spiritual transformation.
