If you’re looking for acupuncture in Newport or Melbourne’s western suburbs, I offer Classical Acupuncture treatments from Think Focus Act Yoga Studio in Newport, VIC.
From March 2026, I'm offering appointments here every Monday, providing acupuncture treatments for people in Newport, Williamstown, Spotswood, Yarraville, and surrounding areas.
Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine that supports the body’s natural healing processes and can help with a wide range of health concerns including chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue and nervous system regulation.
My goal is to help you better understand your health and support your body in restoring balance naturally.
Parking/Access
There is free street parking available nearby, and the studio is approximately a 15-minute walk from Newport train station.
Meet Your Acupuncturist – Dr Karina Smith
I’m a qualified acupuncturist with a Bachelor of Health Sciences majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I continue my training through ongoing mentorship in Classical Acupuncture with Ann Cecil Sterman.
I lived in Melbourne's west for many years and remain deeply connected to the local community. While my primary clinic is located in Altona, I offer treatments at Think Focus Act in Newport so my local patients can still access acupuncture here.
In my work, I focus on understanding the deeper patterns behind a person’s symptoms. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, I take the time to look at the broader story of your health, including lifestyle, stress and emotional wellbeing.
How Acupuncture Can Support Your Health
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to regulate the nervous system, improve circulation and support the body’s natural healing processes.
People often seek acupuncture for help with:
Chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions
Stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm
Digestive issues & hormonal imbalances
Fertility support
Headaches & migraines
Sleep issues
Fatigue and low energy
Chronic illness and autoimmune conditions
Nervous system regulation and burnout
Every treatment is personalised, so your acupuncture session is tailored specifically to your body and your health concerns.
