Passion, healing and individual care. These are the fundamentals to David’s work as a Registered Acupuncturist. Throughout his time in the industry, David has worked with countless patients to improve their quality of life. With a particular focus on fertility, pain and stress. David’s clinic, Coastal Natural Therapies and Haynes Acupuncture, proudly holds the standard as a leader in the field, with patients travelling both near and far to be treated by David and his team.
First assisting, then practicing since 2008, David made a commitment to continued education early on. He believes that to pave the way as a leader in the field, learning new techniques, expanding your skills, and researching new ways of achieving outstanding results, is essential. This means regularly travelling to conventions, exhibitions, and workshops with international leaders in Chinese Medicine. Including a three-month internship at a Chinese Hospital in 2009, where he gained certification in Advanced Practice (Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medical University, Nanning, China).
David’s commitment to continued education results in comprehensive acupuncture treatments, that can be tailored 100% to the individual’s needs.
David’s passion for acupuncture and holistic living is unwavering, which is obvious to his patients at each and every treatment.
Rather than resting on the usual diagnosis, David comprehensively treats his patients every time, to ensure that nothing is ever missed. This attention to detail, and commitment to his clients, is what sets David apart from the rest.
