Meet the team who'll actually listen 🫶🏽

You've probably heard "it's just hormones" or "give it time" more times than you can count. We're not here for that.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we're the clinic Hobart women come to when they're done being fobbed off and ready to actually feel better no matter what season you're in. Hormonal shifts, fertility, pregnancy, perimenopause, or just that low-grade "something's off and no one can tell me what" feeling. Bring all of it. Nothing is too weird, too complicated, or too much.

Behind that is a team who take it seriously 👇

Sophie Hynes — Sophie believes healing doesn't need a perfect starting point, only that you're worthy of care exactly as you are. Thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely in your corner. Off the clock, she's on the beaches and trails of Tassie with her kelpie Frazey.

Rebecca Marks — our founder. Rebecca moved from inner Sydney to Hobart and never looked back and she brings the same grounded, no-nonsense heart to the treatment room. Her mission: get the wisdom of Chinese medicine to the people who need it, without the fluff. When she's not in clinic, she's hiking the hills or pottering in the garden with her kelpie Elfie.

Kristin Bramley — the heart of our clinic, our practice manager and the voice on the other end of the phone. Kristin makes sure your questions get real answers, your booking runs smoothly, and nothing falls through the cracks between appointments. She's the reason you'll never feel like a number here.

Every one of our practitioners is degree-qualified and AHPRA-registered, but more than that we're the team that will actually dig into why you don't feel well, and won't send you off with a shrug.

Your first appointment is up to 90 minutes, because we refuse to guess. You'll leave with a real, written plan — not "see how you go."

Ready to feel at home in your body again? Book via the link in our bio or call us on 0408 402 512. We can't wait to meet you 💛

Planning for pregnancy can be one of life’s most hopeful and exciting chapters and transformative journeys you’ll ever take. And while there is so much excitement, it can also feel complex, and at times lonely.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we believe you deserve someone in your corner. Someone who truly listens. Who’s not afraid to ask the deeper questions. A practitioner who sees you as a whole person - not just a diagnosis. A practitioner who works alongside your IVF specialist, OBGYN and other health professionals to ensure that every part of your care is connected, clear and supported.

Fertility is one of our deepest passions. We live and breath it. It’s why we take a holistic, evidence-informed approach - because your whole story matters.

When you work with one of our practitioners, you’ll receive individualised support that may include:
✨ A thorough review of your test results with guidance on what may need further exploration
✨ Cycle tracking to support hormonal health and deepen your body literacy
✨ Acupuncture to regulate hormones, improve blood flow and ease the nervous system
✨ Nourishing lifestyle and dietary support
✨ Customised herbal medicine and supplements based on both your Chinese medicine diagnostics and your pathology.

Our practitioners are degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered and have undertaken extensive post-graduate fertility training to offer truely comprehensive, heart-led care. Ready to feel supported and understood on your path to parenthood? Book your consultation via the link in our bio or by calling the clinic on 0408 402 512. We can’t wait to meet you 💛

Something happens when a patient sends someone they love through our door.

Not just for us (although your trust in us is genuinely the highest compliment in the world) but for the person walking in. Because they’re usually arriving on someone’s word. They’ve been told: go here, they actually listen, they’ll take you seriously.

That trust sets the tone before we’ve even met them.
If you’ve referred someone to us already, thank you. Truely.

Word of mouth is how Hobartians find us, and it’s how we’ve been able to do the work we believe in and grow our community.

If there’s someone in your life who’s been putting their health last, who’s carrying too much, who’s been fobbed off, who’s been meaning to do something about it for months, consider this your nudge to send them our way.

We’ll give them the same thing we gave you: time, a thorough intake and a real written plan. No ‘see how you go’.

Our community is at the heart of South Hobart Acupuncture. We would love to thank you for letting us support you. The South Hobart Acupuncture Referral Program is our way of doing this.

Here’s how the referral program works:

🌿 You refer someone to see us at South Hobart Acupuncture. They get $20 off their initial appointment.
🌿 To say thank you, you get $20 off your next follow-up appointment.

They just need to mention your name when they book in over the phone. Call us and we’ll make the rest happen 💛 That’s it.

Over the past few weeks you might have noticed a warm voice on the phone, the caring tone of an email or the new presence that has settled into South Hobart Acupuncture. We are so excited to welcome the newest member of our team - Kristin, our practice manager.

Kristin works remotely, so you she won't be greeting you at the door, but she is the big hug on the end of the phone. She's the one making sure your questions get answered, your bookings run smoothly and that everything you need is taken care of in-between appointments.

She comes with years of working in Chinese medicine clinic. Kristin knows this world, she knows exactly what our patients need and she brings exactly the kind of care and follow-though we want for every one of you.

We're really glad she's here with us 💛 We think you will be too.

At South Hobart Acupuncture, one of the more common reasons patients come to see us is their mood. More specifically, stress. Stress has a funny way of creeping up on someone - starting as something small and then slowly snow-balling until it seems like an insurmountable issue. ⁠

Don’t worry, we’ve got you.⁠

At South Hobart Acupuncture we love holistic care. We treat all our patients with the wisdom of Chinese medicine (acupuncture and herbal medicine) but we thrive on adding in lifestyle advice. Little tweaks to diet, habits and routine can make all the difference in managing your stress levels.⁠

Some of the things we love to suggest include:⁠
💫 Connect with loved ones and nature - community and nature help us access our true selves and provide a welcome rest from the hustle + bustle of modern life.⁠
💫 30 minutes of unfiltered sunlight on your face on waking - to help regulate your sleep/wake cycles⁠
💫 Sleep hygiene - wind down before bed without screens to help your body know it’s time for bed and to ease you into sleep.⁠
💫 Regular mindful breathing - to help turn down our ‘flight/flight/freeze’ response and turn up our ‘rest + digest’ response. We often suggest square breathing, lengthened exhale breathing or 4/7/8 breathing.⁠

Save this post for the next time you’re feeling stressed, and let us know how you find these suggestions 💛⁠

Our practitioners are degree-qualified and registered with AHPRA, meaning you are receiving professional guidance from practitioners that are focused on you and your health goals 🌀 We can’t wait to meet you. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512 during business hours. Let's find your flow ⁠

Endometriosis isn't just 'period pain'. It's a whole-body inflammatory condition that can affect your cycle, your fertility, your sleep, your digestion, your nervous system - and it can take over your life. If symptoms flare up, it's not just bad luck. Your nervous system load, hormonal balance and gut health can all play a role.

The good news? These are areas we can gently and holistically support so that you can live life with ease.

In Chinese medicine there is no one-size-fits-all endometriosis treatment. At South Hobart Acupuncture we take a whole-body approach to endometriosis care. Every endo-warrior that walks through our doors is assessed for their particular Chinese medicine diagnosis and given a treatment plan that helps to support them and their body to reach their health goals.

Some of the areas we work with include
✨ Calming inflammation,
✨ Supporting healthy iron levels,
✨ Improving pelvic blood flow,
✨ Regulating hormones and stress responses.

You don't have to push through or figure this out alone. If you're ready to step into a cycle that's more regulated, easeful and calm, our degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners are here to guide you through a compassionate approach to endo support. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by calling 0408 402 512. We can't wait to support you 💛
