The Koru

Koru Acupuncture — Meaning and Practice

The Koru is central to my clinic’s identity and reflects the influence Aotearoa New Zealand had on my introduction to acupuncture. The Koru, a Māori word meaning loop or coil, is a powerful symbol of regeneration, growth, and new beginnings. Its unfurling spiral captures the journey of healing: the courage to start again, the steady progress of recovery, and the quiet resilience that underpins lasting wellbeing.

​

What the Koru Represents in Treatment

At Koru Acupuncture, the spiral’s balanced proportions symbolise harmony and equilibrium; qualities I aim to restore in your body and mind through gentle, evidence-informed acupuncture and supportive care.  Whether you seek relief from pain, stress reduction, or help with your fertility or chronic conditions, each treatment is designed to encourage renewal and sustainable health.

​

Commitment to Tradition and Ongoing Learning

In my professional work, I combine the time-honoured foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine whilst consistently keeping updated on contemporary research to deliver safe, effective acupuncture.   On a personal level, I continue my learning about Māori culture and what it means to be Tangata Tiriti. 

​

Respect and Gratitude, and Cultural Care

Using the Koru within Koru Acupuncture is an act of respect and gratitude.  It reminds me to keep learning, listening, and adapting. My promise to you is a practice rooted in clinical skill, cultural humility, and a dedication to helping you find balance, growth, and renewed wellbeing.
