Services

Japanese Acupuncture

Japanese acupuncture combines gentle needle techniques with pulse diagnosis to restore energy balance. Our practitioners use extremely fine needles and guide tubes for minimal discomfort. This therapy addresses chronic pain, stress, and fatigue by stimulating meridian pathways. Treatments follow traditional methods from master practitioners while incorporating modern understanding of anatomy and physiology.

Moxibustion Therapy

Moxibustion uses burning mugwort to warm acupuncture points and improve circulation. We apply direct or indirect techniques using rice-grain moxa or warming tools. This therapy strengthens Qi, alleviates pain, and supports immune function. Treatments target musculoskeletal conditions and energy imbalances through controlled heat application that penetrates deep into tissues.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Our clinic provides high-quality herbal formulations for internal and external use. Practitioners create customized blends using granulated extracts, raw powders, and capsules. Treatments address digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic conditions. We source herbs through rigorous quality control processes including pesticide and heavy metal testing to ensure safety and efficacy.

Shonishin for Children

Shonishin uses non-invasive tools to balance children's energy through meridian stimulation. Practitioners employ gold and silver instruments for rubbing, tapping, and pressing techniques. This therapy addresses developmental issues, sleep disturbances, and behavioural concerns in children under 12. Treatments incorporate parental education for home care and bonding through gentle, pain-free techniques.

Lifestyle DNA Analysis

Our DNA testing service identifies genetic predispositions affecting nutrition, exercise, and stress response. Practitioners create personalized wellness plans based on genetic markers related to metabolism, inflammation, and recovery. The program includes initial consultation, at-home testing, and detailed results interpretation. This evidence-based approach combines genetic insights with traditional health practices for optimal lifestyle choices.

I highly recommend this clinic. It's a warm and inviting space where I've always felt I was in expert hands. Kelly is an absolute magician at healing sore bodies. Best acupuncturist I've ever been to.

I love our sessions with Kelly. She treats me and my 8mo daughter. Each session with Kelly is like therapy for the soul. She's so kind and loving. I love how comfortable my baby feels with her too! After each session baby has the longest naps ever and she's a little zen baby for the rest of the day.
Kelly is treating me due to my pp depression and I have to say that half hour with her is gold! I'm able to relax and rest!! I'm also taking some herbs which even my (skeptical) partner has commented seem the be working. I also always see an improvement in my daughter's eye condition after each session

The Ondol clinic is such a special caring healing center. Kelly goes above and beyond for her patients. I am the fourth family member to come to Kelly. Her acupuncture treatments have really helped me, it is truly exceptional. I always leave feeling like a weight has come off me, and this feeling actually lasts! We are so lucky to have Ondol here in Brisbane. Thank you Kelly

Kelly and the team are absolutely wonderful. I went there because I have many issues which result in me almost constantly having a sore neck, back, etc. Kelly was able to unlock me and I was able to turn my head like I hadnt in years; I am even able to sleep on my side now, which I hadnt done for a decade because it hurt when I lay down too long.
10/10 would recommend

I have been a regular client at Ondol for many years. I usually see Kelly, but all practitioners here are professional, insightful, and caring. Although owners Kelly and Hae Uk have been working for many years in the field of Oriental medicine, both were originally trained as medical professionals in a Western context. This understanding of both schools of thought means they really focus on the best outcomes for their individual clients. The practitioners at Ondol are educated professionals who will listen to you and tailor their treatment toward your needs. I can't recommend them highly enough

For almost a year now I have been seeing Kelly once a week, for stress and well-being. Kelly is passionate and knowledgeable in her treatments. My stress, energy levels and general health have improved tremendously with Kelly's treatments.
