The heart of our practice
Kelly Maslen, Registered Acupuncturist & Holistic Nutritionist and Birth Doula
Kelly Maslen is a skilled Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Registered Acupuncturist, Holistic Nutritionist and retired Birth Doula with over 25 years of experience in holistic healing. As the founder of Beach Acupuncture, she has created a nurturing, heart-centred clinic space where patients feel safe, supported, and truly seen.
Kelly’s approach combines the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern lifestyle guidance to treat the root cause of imbalance. She specializes in stress, anxiety, burnout, hormonal health, digestion, cosmetic and esoteric acupuncture, and fertility — with a particular passion for supporting women through perimenopause and menopause.
With a deep respect for the body’s innate ability to heal, Kelly helps her patients reconnect with their rhythms, regulate their nervous systems, and thrive in both body and mind. Her treatments offer more than physical relief they provide space to exhale, let go, and return to a grounded sense of self.
Founder of Beach Acupuncture
With renewed inspiration, I dedicated myself to studying this ancient medicine and it became the focus of my life’s work. As an honours graduate from the Acupuncture Integrative Medicine Academy, I wholeheartedly embrace the teachings of acupuncture and passionately share this wisdom with others to relieve pain, re-balance and promote energy and vitality.
Prevention is key
Believing that prevention is key, I empower my patients to make healthy lifestyle transitions to restore optimal health and improve quality of life.
I offer a warm, compassionate and grounded presence to all my patients. Having been a healthcare professional for almost two decades, I have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share.
A safe environment
All my therapies are delivered in a calm, competent and down-to-earth manner that instills trust and creates a sense of safety in the treatment space. I am incredibly grateful to know my life’s purpose is to share my love of acupuncture and make a positive impact in the lives of others.
