Love Thy Health - Acupuncturist & Naturopath

Love Thy Health offers integrative acupuncture and naturopathy from a clinic in West Footscray, with online appointments also available. Led by Christine Carley, the practice combines acupuncture, naturopathy, herbal medicine, nutritional guidance and lifestyle support rather than following a fixed protocol for every client. A complimentary discovery call is available for people who are unsure whether the approach is suitable for their needs.

Christine describes her acupuncture sessions as gentle, calm and nurturing, with a focus on creating a safe space where clients can feel relaxed and supported. The West Footscray clinic is presented as a quiet, private setting away from the bustle of daily life, with parking and easy access from nearby Seddon and Yarraville. Treatments may include gentle tuina or massage, while acupuncture sessions use fine needles and can include time for reflection and self-care guidance afterwards.

The practice lists support across areas including mood, sleep, energy, pain and fatigue, digestive health, hormonal health, fertility, menopause and PCOS, as well as chronic complex conditions. Naturopathy consultations can involve herbal remedies, flower remedies, whole-food nutrition and an individualised plan. Christine’s background includes a Bachelor-level naturopathy qualification, a Master of Applied Science in Acupuncture with distinctions, and previous work as a clinical supervisor for final-year naturopathy students at Endeavour College of Natural Health. She says her approach brings together scientific knowledge, clinical experience and attention to the mind–body connection.

Alongside one-to-one consultations, Love Thy Health offers group and one-to-one acupuncture, transpersonal therapy, The Work of Byron Katie, and family and business constellations. Christine also co-facilitates Beautiful Humans Retreats with Rebecca Jade, combining acupuncture with yoga, meditation, pranayama, self-inquiry and retreat-based wellbeing programs. This makes the practice suited to people seeking individual support in Footscray or online, as well as those interested in workshops, group experiences or longer-form retreats. The website also includes health articles covering topics such as sleep, fatigue, fertility, thyroid health and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
