Ségolène Prats
Acupuncturist
My passion for this medicine began years ago when I was suffering from chronic pain for a very long time. After experiencing acupuncture my sleepless nights transformed into peaceful rest.
Being a Mum of three, I understand how difficult and sometimes complicated looking after your own health can be and I am dedicated to help others to find energy and balance to a busy life. What Eastern Medicine offers is a philosophy that empowers us, it teaches us to listen to emotions, to pay attention to the changes in our body and cultivates our mind.
The body has this amazing ability to heal, always seeking for the perfect balance; acupuncture acts as a guide to help bring the body back to homeostasis. I am passionate about assisting others find the keys to unlock their fullest potential through reconnection with their body and mind.

Eryn Heddle
Acupuncturist
Eryn’s lifelong passion for holistic health began at a young age after exploring several alternative healing modalities, including acupuncture, to heal herself from chronic health conditions.
Eryn’s thirst for knowledge led her to complete a Bachelor of Arts (Sociology) in 2018, after discovering a deep interest in human behaviour and psychology. Eryn then worked as a prosthetic makeup artist in the film and television industry, a barber and Usui Reiki practitioner. An extremely passionate and driven individual, Eryn experienced severe burnout and turned to acupuncture for recovery. This inspired her to complete her Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) and pursue Chinese Medicine to help others experience its incredible physical and mental health healing benefits. Outside of her degree, Eryn learned from several senior acupuncturists and assisted in clinics to develop her knowledge and skills.
Eryn is deeply passionate about supporting patients in their own natural healing, empowering them to understand their bodies, minds, and nervous systems. Eryn has a particular interest in treating pain, injuries, stress, anxiety, chronic illness, digestion, women’s health, and nervous system/emotional regulation. Eryn loves balancing continued professional education with meditation, writing and yoga.
