Emma Brinkmann – Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture), Master of Applied Science (Chinese Herbal Medicine), AACMA member.
Hello and welcome!
Chinese Medicine is a gentle and holistic way to restore balance to the body and mind. I am a qualified and experienced practitioner with a dedicated focus on women’s and children’s health, fertility, pregnancy & postnatal care, hormonal & menstrual health, and emotional wellbeing.
Your treatment is tailored to suit your individual health needs and desired outcomes, and may include ~ acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, nutritional guidance, meditation, and other lifestyle changes.
We spend time talking together to determine what you would like to achieve with your health, and make a treatment plan that is sustainable for you. My practice is a safe place for you to share details about anything relating to your health, where you will be compassionately listened to and cared for.
I am here to help!
The clinic and raw herbal dispensary are located in the Hub building, Castlemaine, an easy walk from the train station. I also work in Kyneton, at 59 Mollison Street.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the gentle and considered insertion of very fine needles into points located on the body to activate your innate healing mechanisms. It has a long history of use and has an ever-growing body of research surrounding its applications. Points are chosen based on your unique presenting health condition. Most people find it very relaxing and nourishing.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
I have a comprehensive raw herbal dispensary at the clinic in Castlemaine and love getting hands-on and preparing your scripts. You can have some acupuncture while your herbs are dispensed, or sit and relax in the dispensary and watch me at work. You can take your herbs in raw form (to cook up as a tea), granules (which dissolve into warm water), or various pill or encapsulated forms. We will discuss the best form of herbs to suit your health situation and lifestyle.
For more information about my dispensary and the different herbal options available, see my Chinese herbal medicine information.

Your treatment may include bodywork, acupuncture and/or Chinese herbs, moxibustion, cupping, and individualised homework (including nutrition or mindfulness exercises). The session may also include cupping or moxibustion.
