My entire life has been spent surrounded by animals, from my first pet budgie as a young child, to chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs and even hermit crabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-445b29680afae9599ae65df9a8398714\">I knew from a very young age, particularly from my first encounter with a horse at the age of 4yrs, that my calling was to work with, and help animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-802fb00861ba789f4055ad82d85d177f\">I spent 10yrs as a veterinary nurse in small animal practices before pursuing different avenues and interests, all of which ultimately led me back to my passion and where my heart truly belongs \u2013 animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e26ba03b91ce4cb330452de9bf25442b\">My introduction into animal acupuncture happened at the age of 7yrs, when our kelpie at the time was being treated with acupuncture. Fast forward some years and I was re-introduced to this magnificent form of healing through my own personal experience. Through conversation with my acupuncturist and my yearning to return to working with animals so strong, the seed for Freedom and Flow was planted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f6bb7302f121c3117c71d0bc4684c7b9\">From my first needling session with horses several years ago, I have seen firsthand the benefits and truly powerful healing process which takes place through acupuncture. Because this ancient form of complementary medicine addresses the root cause of illness, it has the ability, working alongside the energetic body which is receiving treatment, to realign the life energy force and help attain positive health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cc942642e4b8e1d2bc5891ea1c611085\">Although I believe there are times and circumstances where conventional medicine has its place and benefits, I also believe that acupuncture has a place alongside other modalities, to offer alternatives which can co-exist and complement each other to treat the body as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-175bd15665d61a50d5675d139736d6fc\">With an open mind, heart and pure loving intentions, I can connect with the individual to help bring awareness to areas which need addressing and for healing to take place. The aim therefore of each session is to help achieve freedom from disease and for the body to flow into alignment towards health and wellbeing &#8211; Freedom and Flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull\" style=\"min-height:600px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background\" alt=\"\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/freedomandflowanimalacupuncture.com.au\/c355d7b3-1cbb-47af-b8bd-884e80f2a53a\" style=\"object-position:10% 10%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"10% 10%\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-nv-light-bg-background-color has-background-dim-80 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/freedomandflowanimalacupuncture.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nadine2.jpg\" alt=\"acupuncture for dogs, cats and horses\" class=\"wp-image-55\" style=\"border-radius:16px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freedomandflowanimalacupuncture.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nadine2.jpg 634w, https:\/\/freedomandflowanimalacupuncture.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nadine2-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:50%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2a9d2bc199051430266927a400d87ad9\">Why Acupuncture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9cefeef2b0c81df3b5b995b13ef74aa4\">Acupuncture forms an important foundation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), with this ancient therapeutic technique having been practiced for over 2500 years in both humans and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0cba89a2b82f05a757810f4b09409244\">Acupuncture involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points which are located along meridians, or channels, on the body. These meridians are invisible pathways that form a network connecting all parts of the body through which Qi, or energy, flows. Each meridian is related to a specific organ system and this meridian network not only links meridians with each other but has the power to transmit information to and among the organ systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-293163c69626905f170f4c9bfd6db033\">TCM understands that if Qi flows freely through the meridians, and the organs work in harmony, the body can avoid disease. This framework enables acupuncture to identify the root cause of health issues and to work to regulate the energy functions of the body to help assist the body\u2019s natural healing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c685ebbd0fa06f8d8f80f169f8d27289\">The intention of my acupuncture sessions is to help each individual achieve freedom from disease and for their body to flow into alignment towards health and wellbeing &#8211; Freedom and Flow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aligncenter is-light\" style=\"min-height:600px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-nv-site-bg-background-color has-background-dim-0 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"951\" src=\"https:\/\/freedomandflowanimalacupuncture.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nadine4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53\" style=\"border-radius:16px;width:287px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freedomandflowanimalacupuncture.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nadine4.jpg 634w, https:\/\/freedomandflowanimalacupuncture.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nadine4-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color\">Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-neve-text-color-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Acupuncture sessions take place in your home or the animal\u2019s own environment, wherever they feel most comfortable and at ease. <br><br>Each session and animal are unique; just like people, no two are the same. Treatment is tailored to any health issues which may be occurring\/recurring, either physically, emotionally or both. <br><br>Depending on the concerns to be addressed, as well as the animal itself, each session can take anywhere from 20-30 minutes up to 1 hour or more.
