ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a substantial part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves careful placement of very fine needles into specific points across meridians to influence and regulate an individuals life force, known as Qi.
The ancient Chinese believed that Qi, flows from the body’s primary organs out into the superficial body tissues such as skin, muscles, tendons, bones and joints. The quality and quantity of an individuals Qi can have significant effect over their health. Most often Qi becomes blocked (stagnated), hyperactive, hypoactive and/ or deficient leading to ill-health and eventually disease.
The primary focus of acupuncture therapy is to improve the the regulation of an individuals Qi, and help restore harmony of their mind and body. Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years for multiple conditions effecting the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular , endocrine, immune and nervous system.
There are a total of 350 acupuncture points found throughout the body, each having their own unique influence over an individuals state of health and well being. An acupuncturist is comprehensively trained in the individual actions and indications of these points with an in depth understanding of the patho-physiology and treatment of disease to help restore health and vitality for their patient.
Acupuncture, like all forms of natural medicine is a dose dependent treatment. Every patient is unqiue and responds differently to treatments. Patients should feel an immedient sense of relief or change from their main complaint that will last for several days after treatment.
Based on thousands of hours of clinical experience Dr Nicholas Beasley (Acu, DAOM) recommends a minimum of 12 treatments with acupuncture for long term significant results. In the inital few treatments, the shorter the duration between sessions (every 4-5 days) the greater the healing response.
Monthly maintenance treatments are essential for reevaluating and preventing any chance of disease remission. Sessions respond well with adjunctive treatments such as osteopathy, physiotherapy and remedialc MASSAGE.
MEDICAL PULSE DIAGNOSIS
Pulse Diagnosis is considered one of the most precise and insightful methods for identifying patterns of ill health by interpreting the subtle signals of imbalance within the body. This sophisticated diagnostic technique dates back more than 2,000 years and has been refined over centuries as a trusted method for understanding internal health before symptoms fully develop.
Dr. Nicholas BeasleY has extensive experience in Medical Pulse Diagnosis and incorporates this method into his daily clinical practice. Through years of dedicated study and hands-on application, Nicholas has developed a highly refined ability to read and interpret the pulse with accuracy and depth.
Using this method, Nicholas carefully assesses the flow, rhythm, strength, and quality of blood moving through the radial artery at the wrist. These subtle variations in the pulse correspond to how blood and energy are circulating through specific regions of the body, including vital organs and organ systems. Each pulse position provides valuable information about different physiological functions and potential areas of stress or imbalance.
Medical Pulse Diagnosis allows Nicholas to identify a wide range of common health concerns, often revealing how seemingly unrelated symptoms are connected. By evaluating the pulse, he can gain insight into the overall health, vitality, and functional efficiency of each organ system. This holistic approach enables a deeper understanding of the body as an interconnected whole, supporting more personalized and effective care.
About Dr. Nicholas Beasley (Acu)
Dr. Nicholas Beasley (Acu) is an Exercise Kinesiology and Corrective Health Expert with over 12 years of experience bridging the fields of Western movement sciences and classical Eastern medicine. As the founder of his practice in the heart of Launceston, Tasmania, Nicholas currently runs a highly successful acupuncture clinic treating over 100 patients per week. His deep reverence for classical Chinese medicine and dedication to clinical excellence keep him inspired to deliver profound, systemic healing results to his community.
The Foundation: Physical Conditioning & Martial Arts
Nicholas’s journey into health and wellness began in 2005 when he completed his Certificate III and IV in Fitness, followed by additional qualifications in CHEK and exercise coaching. He subsequently established a thriving physical conditioning and corrective exercise business in the Brisbane CBD. Heavily inspired by industry pioneers Paul Chek and Ido Portal, Nicholas spent his early career educating clients on correct motor patterns, core conditioning, mobility, and flexibility for rehabilitation and optimal sports performance.
During this period, Nicholas was also training intensely in Muay Thai boxing. The martial art's deep cultural and spiritual roots sparked his fascination with the internal dimensions of training, shifting his personal focus toward Qigong and meditation. In 2012, he expanded this pursuit by training in Shaolin Kung Fu at Six Harmonies in Melbourne, dedicating himself to traditional Kung Fu forms and dynamic Qigong practices.
The Pivot to Traditional Chinese Medicine
In 2015, Nicholas relocated to the Gold Coast, where he established and managed a small organic herbal tea dispensary across retail lines and local organic markets. A personal turning point occurred when he received acupuncture treatments for a chronic neck issue and visual health challenges. Experiencing the medicine's immediate efficacy firsthand solidified his professional calling.
In 2017, Nicholas enrolled at the Endeavour College of Natural Medicine, graduating five years later with a Bachelor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine with an average distinction. While completing his degree, he founded Wuji Medicine to teach students and practitioners the traditional healing arts of Qigong and Daoyin.
Mastery of Advanced Lineages & Master Tung's Balance Method
Following graduation, Nicholas set out to deepen his understanding of classical Chinese medical theory, studying the ancient philosophies of the I-Ching and Feng Shui. This path led him to study directly under Dr. Sonia Tan (L.Ac, DAOM), a lineage disciple of the legendary Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan.
Through this lineage, Nicholas mastered the Balance Method—a highly effective acupuncture system that utilizes specific channel configurations to instantly restore systemic harmony. This clinical foundation is heavily rooted in generations of classical knowledge preserved by medical pioneers such as Master Tung Ching Chang, Dr. William Yei-Young, and Dr. Chen Chao.
Pulse Diagnosis, Herbal Medicine & Global Lineage Training
Driven to provide the most precise care possible for thousands of patients presenting with complex physical and mental ailments, Nicholas focused extensively on the art of pulse reading and herbal formulation. He has trained under the renowned Dr. Jimmy Wei-Yen Chang (PhD, MPH, L.Ac) to master advanced diagnostic and prescribing skills.
Furthering this expertise, Nicholas spent the last three years engaged in a rigorous clinical internship in Medical Pulse Diagnosis (MPD) under world-renowned acupuncturist and herbal therapist Dr. Robert Doane. To master this sophisticated diagnostic system, Nicholas completed multiple advanced courses directly under "Bob" Doane in the United States.
To trace this knowledge back to its authentic roots, Nicholas traveled to China to train at Wudang under Bob Doane’s direct Sifu, Master Jake Pinnick—the 17th generation lineage heir of the Wudang Sanfeng lineage in Taijiquan and Qigong. Having dedicated over 5 years to mastering this profound system, Nicholas now regularly leads student exchange trips back to China to facilitate cultural and medical immersion training.
