Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a gentle, calming treatment where thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on the body. It has been used for thousands of years as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to naturally stimulate the body’s healing.
While the traditional theory focuses on regulating the body’s flow of energy, often referred to as “Qi” (pronounced chee), modern research suggests acupuncture works by stimulating nearby nerves, cells and tissues to stimulate healing responses.

OUR TREATMENT
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine has been used for thousands of years to improve health, strengthen the body, and support both acute and chronic conditions.
It is widely used today as a natural way to support health and well-being. Many people choose herbal medicine because it is generally gentle on the body, has fewer side effects, and focuses on improving the root cause of health problems rather than simply masking symptoms. It can also help strengthen the body and support overall wellness.
Herbs are carefully selected based on each individual’s body constitution, symptoms, tongue and pulse diagnosis, and overall health condition. Every person’s body and health condition are different, and the same herbal formula may work well for one person but may not be suitable for others; therefore, Chinese herbs should always be prescribed and used with professional care and guidance, with the same respect given to pharmaceutical medicines.
We have successfully used herbal medicine to support
- Fertility
- Sleep/insomnia
- Stress/anxiety
- Coughs
- Inflammation
- Sinus issues
- Digestive health
- Overall body circulation and health
We offer something unique...

Herbal Tea Bags
The herbal tea bag is a unique feature used at Ponsonby Wellness Centre, where a specific quantity of powdered herbal medicine is formulated for patients.
“We use a customised formula for different patients. The formula keeps changing based on patients’ conditions, their symptoms, pulses, and tongues, the weather, and the seasons. Even the same patient will receive a different formula of herbal medicine each time. ” – Practitioner Virginia Jin

What Our Patients Say About Us
I have been seeing Virgina for over 2 years. I found her when I was looking for pain relief treatment for chronic lower back pain. Not only did her treatment plan fix the issue with my back, she also worked on my over-all health and balancing my hormones.

Thank you Virginia, for the acupuncture, tea and warmth which has helped treat the shoulder injury. I have been and will continue to recommend you to others.
The discomfort I had has dissipated. Your knowledge and care made me feel at ease during each session. Treatment was a time for me to look forward to rather than fear and I feel confident in myself once more.

Highly recommended! Went to see Virginia for severe migraine and neck/back issues. She was recommended by 2 friends who had previously seen her along with some family members and they raves on about how good Virginia was and how she fixed all their problems ranging from stomach issues to body aches and pains. I was definitely not disappointed and have been migraine free for over a month now and don’t have to rely on strong medication and my neck/back issues are still being worked on due to years of not looking after myself, but is a lot better than before. Virginia is very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. You must go see her if you want to fix those aches and pains!

I was referred by friends to this business. I have had ongoing chronic pain in my neck and all the way down the right side of my back and into my hip. I have tried chiropractic treatment, massage and other acupuncture providers. While I have had some relief from these treatments I have been left with an underlying residual dull ache which I haven’t been able to shift. Virginia was able to assess and treat me providing immediate relief. After my first appointment I found my pain level significantly reduced and mobility improved. I returned the following day and after that treatment I am with less pain and moving more freely than I have for 18 months. I found Virginia clear in her approach, she talked about what she was going to do and showed me on a ‘dummy’, then she very quickly found the source of my pain and treated it with brilliant results. Unfortunately I do t live in Auckland, however I will be returning for a regular appointment with Virginia whenever I am in town. Highly recommended for pain relief and professional approach
