Castlemaine Acupuncture Collective
A small group of local acupuncturists have been meeting monthly over steaming bowls of soup, dreaming and planning a new way to offer healing in our community. From those nourishing conversations, the Castlemaine Community Acupuncture Collective was born — a shared vision of affordable, accessible acupuncture grounded in connection and collective care.
​
Community acupuncture offers a different experience from traditional one-on-one sessions. Treatments take place in a shared setting where only minimal skin exposure is needed. Sessions focus on using distal points on the legs, arms, hands, feet, and ears. Patients recline comfortably on yoga mats, relaxing for around 30–40 minutes as the treatment unfolds.

Dr Lauren's (TCM) journey to community acupuncture...
Beginning a community acupuncture clinic has been a dream of Lauren's since her early days of study, a vision that became even clearer after spending time at a community clinic in Nepal. She’s seen firsthand the power of people coming together to focus on their healing and is excited to bring this collective model of care to her favourite town.
