Dr Ben O’Brien helped me with my immune system failure during this school holiday period. As a mum and business owner, this level of natural medicine means I can focus on what needs my attention again; my children and my business. Thanks Dr Ben!
Wonderful service. My husband woke up in terrible pain and within a matter of minutes after I lodged a request for assistance I had an appointment offer. Three hours later he’s back home smiling again after a wonderful acupuncture experience and some excellent advice from Dr Ben 🙂 Thank you Ben and team! We’re absolutely so grateful for your service.
Super knowledgeable, and focused treating root cause. Friendly and personable and results driven. Definitely recommend 🙂
I had been suffering widespread pain for over two years and the situation was out of control. I was not able to work full time, take a walk or brush my teeth as a normal person. Until I’d met Dr. Ben about 4 months ago. He helped me from limping to able to enjoy life and a lot more. My pain has improved a lot and my condition is under control. Thank you Dr. Ben for your incredible and inspiring knowledge and making the miracle happens to me. May miracle happens to us all.
Finding The Natural Medicine & Nutrition Clinic was nothing short of a miracle. I was at my wits end with chronic foot pain and a more recent pain in my knee. I had tried massage, chiropractic and podiatry and my resolve not to go down the big black hole that is the medical system was being challenged because of the constant pain. I was just about to commit to orthotics, which I knew weren’t the answer, and then I googled natural medicine and up came Ben. It was the awesome reviews of other people who had experienced Ben’s care which had me make an appointment. My results have been extraordinary to say the least and I am beyond grateful to Ben and his skills with using acupuncture, Chinese herbs and diet to reduce the inflammation in my body which in turn has completely healed my knee and is well on the way to healing my foot. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE to make an appointment to see Ben. I can’t stop smiling as my life is once again filled with joy instead of pain. Thank you so much Ben.
YOUR FIRST STEP
Personalised Acupuncture Treatment Plan
Our Initial Exam is designed to uncover the root cause of your health concerns — not just treat the symptoms. As a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic, we use acupuncture as our primary treatment method, combined with personalised care plans tailored specifically to your body’s needs.
This comprehensive approach ensures your acupuncture treatment targets the underlying imbalances causing your pain, stress, fatigue, or other health issues.
What you receive:
Comprehensive Health Assessment & Examination
Tongue & Pulse Analysis (TCM Diagnosis)
Personalised Acupuncture Treatment Plan
Your First Acupuncture Session (you can do this on the same day if you want)
Report of Findings & Ongoing Care Recommendations
These issues aren’t isolated problems — they’re your body’s way of signaling deeper imbalances. Our goal is to find and fix those root causes so you can restore your natural energy, balance, and wellbeing.
OUR HOLISTIC HEALING APPROACH
At Natural Medicine Nutrition Clinic, we combine acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrition to support your body’s natural healing.
Acupuncture enhances blood flow and organ function, while herbal and nutritional therapies accelerate recovery and strengthen your body’s innate ability to heal.
Guided by our core philosophy—identify and treat the root cause, care for the whole person, and empower patients through education—we focus on addressing underlying imbalances rather than just managing symptoms, helping you reclaim your vitality, mobility, and lasting wellness.

Trained in both Western Nutrition and Chinese Medicine, and having taught at Guangxi Traditional Medical University in China, Ben blends deep clinical knowledge with a passion for education—helping patients understand the “why” behind their symptoms to support faster healing. Through his integrative, patient-centred approach, he empowers individuals with the insight and tools to restore balance and maintain long-term wellbeing.

Prior to seeking treatment with Dr Benjamin O’Brien, I had exhausted all avenues of medicine in trying to remedy my ongoing lower back and nerve pain that I was experiencing 24/7. Over a 4-year period my health had continued to decline.
The recovery journey with the treatment, care and support received from Dr Benjamin has given me a new life and optimism in the healing process. His holistic approach has seen a reduction in my body’s inflammation and my stress are finally returning to normal. I am now exercising regularly and also follow the recommended Acid-Alkaline Balance in my diet with great results.
Dr Benjamin has the ability to simplify medical jargon and explain conditions and his recommended treatment. I appreciated the feedback Ben provided in keeping me informed throughout my treatment process.
I am so thankful I found Ben when I did! I was feeling fatigued all day everyday, never rested, not sleeping, and had so many aches and pains that a normal day was a always so difficult! I felt like this for so long and could not figure out what was happening. After one consultation and treatment with Ben, I was already hopeful that things could change. Several months later and I’m feeling great! He is a wealth of knowledge and fantastic at what he does and has always treated me like a good friend! I very highly recommend seeing Ben no matter the issue! And I will continue to see him, Thank you Ben!
Dr. Ben has been a game-changer in my journey of a healthier, balanced life and is a remarkable healer. Ben’s nutritional expertise, acupuncture and herbs, have all addressed my neck issues, digestive discomfort, and overall well-being.
His acupuncture treatments resolved a neck problem that I had had for months and using normal methods had not worked. I could not believe that I walked out after 1-session with no pain and also brought a huge amount of relief overall.
The tailored nutrition advice improved my digestive health significantly and educated me on making far better choices.
Dr. Ben stands out not just for his mind-blowing knowledge but also for his genuine care. He is a valuable member of my health team, and I am grateful to him and Ange for their love and support.
I was recommended to Ben about 4 years ago and have been going fairly consistently ever since. He has helped me through multiple injuries including my back and knee’s as well as my very persistent stomach issues. We are now at such a good stage with my stomach and back that we just do a little tune up once a month.
Ben is extremely knowledgeable in both his fields of acupuncture and Chinese herbs. He looks at your health in a very holistic way, always enthusiastic about offering advice and just an all round nice guy.
I trust him with my health, wholeheartedly and would recommend him to anyone!
Ben is very knowledgeable and his practices proved it all. My nerve symptoms which I had suffered over one year were healed by his treatments within one month. I enjoyed his treatments because I was able to see my body was changing. Thank you Ben.
Ben is a very experienced clinician who skillfully combines western and eastern healing methods to encourage your body to return to a state of wellbeing. I underwent acupuncture with Ben for a couple of months for a very complex health condition and saw positive shifts in my mind and body. When voicing my health complaints I always felt heard and understood, and Ben worked in a very collaborative manner which is lacking in mainstream medicine. Ben has particular expertise in musculoskeletal injuries and was able to eliminate shoulder pain in an instant. He also was able to offer really helpful suggestions in terms of nutrition and has helped me switch from foods and drinks that were overstimulating for my system to ingredients that are more nourishing. Highly recommend – by far the best Chinese medicine practitioner I have ever seen!!!
I was fortunate to find Ben about 2 months into my Chemotherapy treatment. He has made a significant and positive impact on my overall health status of which I am grateful.
Ben has an extensive wealth of knowledge and experience and is a warm-hearted and professional.
I have no hesitation in recommending Ben.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an Initial Exam? Can't I just book acupuncture?
The Initial Exam helps us understand your unique health patterns and identify the root cause of your symptoms. This ensures your acupuncture treatment targets the right points for maximum effectiveness. Without proper diagnosis, acupuncture may only provide temporary relief rather than lasting results.
What conditions can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture is highly effective for chronic pain, headaches, nerve problems, stress, anxiety, digestive issues, fatigue, and inflammation-related conditions. We’ll discuss whether acupuncture can help your specific condition during your Initial Exam.
What can I expect at my first appointment?
Your first visit includes:
- Health History Review
- TCM Examination (Tongue & Pulse Diagnosis)
- Consultation
- Report of Findings
How long will the initial exam take?
The Initial Exam typically takes 30 minutes. If you book acupuncture treatment the same day, please allow 60-90 minutes total for your first visit.
How does acupuncture work?
Acupuncture stimulates specific points on your body to increase blood flow, trigger natural pain-relieving chemicals, and retrain your brain’s healing response. We use distal needling, which places needles away from the pain site for faster, more effective results.
What if you can't help me?
If we don’t think we can help, we will refund you the cost of the initial exam.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people are surprised at how gentle acupuncture feels. The needles are
very fine; many patients find it relaxing and even fall asleep.
Do you take private health insurance?
Yes, we have HICAPS many private health funds cover Acupuncture. We also
provide receipts so you can claim directly with your health fund.
How many acupuncture treatments will I need?
It depends on your condition. Some issues may improve in a few sessions, while chronic conditions usually need a treatment plan. We’ll discuss this at your Initial Exam and create a care plan based on how your body responds.
Where is the clinic located and how do I book?
