20+
Years of Clinical Experience
Looking at the whole picture, not just one symptom.
When your health starts affecting your energy, menstrual cycle, fertility, pain levels or everyday life, it can be difficult to know where to start.
My approach combines acupuncture, Chinese medicine and practical lifestyle guidance, looking at how your symptoms fit together and what may be contributing to them.
Depending on your individual needs, we may explore digestion, sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, menstrual health and other factors that influence how you feel.
I want you to understand what we’re working on and why. Your appointments include time to discuss what I’m seeing, how it may relate to your health and practical things you can work on between visits.
For those who would like more ongoing support, Nurturing Life Online brings together additional education, resources and guidance that you can access from home.

About Dr. April Wood
Doctor of Chinese Medicine | Registered Acupuncturist
Practicing since 2004
Nurturing Life began in Brisbane before moving to the Dandenong Ranges in 2014, first in Upwey, now in Tecoma.
After more than 20 years in clinical practice, one thing has remained consistent: I want to understand the person in front of me, not just the symptom that brought them through the door.
I work with people experiencing a wide range of health concerns, including menstrual and reproductive health, fertility, persistent pain, digestive issues and complex or ongoing symptoms.
My approach is individual. I take time to listen, explain my clinical reasoning and work with you to identify realistic steps that fit your circumstances.
My aim is for you to leave your appointment with a better understanding of your health and a clearer idea of what to focus on next.
Your first appointment
What should you expect?
If you haven’t had acupuncture before, it’s completely normal to have questions about what happens during an appointment. I’ve put together a guide explaining what to expect, how to prepare and what happens during your first visit.
Take the time to really look at your health
Not sure where to start? Your first appointment is designed to help make sense of the bigger picture.
We’ll talk through your main concerns, your health history and the different factors that may be relevant to what is happening now.
From there, I’ll explain what I think is worth focusing on first and what your care may involve, whether that includes acupuncture, Chinese medicine, practical lifestyle support or working alongside another healthcare professional where appropriate.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you book. That’s what the first appointment is for.
