Meet Ariel Dawson
Doctor of Chinese Medicine + Registered Acupuncturist +
Registered Remedial Massage Therapist + Reiki Practitioner (Level 1 & 2)
I’m a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturist, Remedial Massage Therapist, and Reiki Practitioner based in Yuggera Country (Brisbane). My journey into alternative health began as a beauty therapist in my early 20s, where I was introduced to complementary medicine. This sparked my passion for holistic healing and led me to study Acupuncture in 2019, graduating in December 2024.
Prior to completing my acupuncture degree, I deepened my hands-on therapeutic skills by completing a Diploma in Remedial Massage. Seeing firsthand the profound effects of relaxation massage, I wanted to offer more targeted, therapeutic treatments. Around this time, I also discovered Reiki when a fellow student performed a brief healing on me. The experience was so transformative that I went on to complete my Level 1 & 2 Usui Reiki training.
I’m passionate about supporting mothers and women, creating a space where their wellbeing is prioritised. Having become a mother at a young age, I understand the challenges they face and aim to provide compassionate, personalised care.
