Rebecca R

Acupuncturist

Rebecca is a sought-after practitioner of Acupuncture and Naturopathy for her expertise in working with her patients to aid in treating not only the symptoms that arise from chronic illness, but also delving deeper into understanding and addressing any underlying causes.

Special areas of interest are; Autoimmunity, Chronic, severe pain and inflammatory conditions and Fatigue syndromes.

Pain of any type and severity – arthritis (rheumatoid, psoriatic, osteo), other inflammatory auto-immune conditions, injuries, migraine, neck and back pain, plantar fasciitis, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal pain, menstrual and gynaecological pain

She has over 20 years of experience and is a qualified Naturopath and Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner of Acupuncture with AHPRA.

 Having experienced chronic health issues from a young age, there is no one more passionate about getting results for her patients than Rebecca Rickey. Having an autoimmune condition (psoriasis) since infancy, that then progressed into (psoriatic arthritis) as a teenager, and more recently the additional diagnosis of (Hashimotos) later in life,  Rebecca was always destined for a career in health.

Having found her calling, Rebecca has completed extensive studies in both naturopathy, herbal medicine and acupuncture, a combination that she finds particularly useful for long-term management of fatigue, chronic pain and auto-immunity.

Rebecca’s own experiences have taught her so much. She understands severe pain and what it is like to not be able to get out of bed, have trouble walking, turning a door handle, and do basic things like cooking or making the bed. These are some of the daily things that most people take for granted.

She is committed to helping others find natural solutions for autoimmunity and chronic pain without depending on medications that may not work and have unwanted side effects. Health is a lifelong journey and she can gently guide you through the ups and downs along the way.
