Diane M Chase, L.Ac., Dipl.Ac, MAc, MSN
I am a Licensed Acupuncturist by the New Hampshire Board of Acupuncture, and board certified Diplomate of Acupuncture by the NCCAOM. I am also a Registered Nurse with 23 years of clinical experience in local NH hospitals in various specialties such as cardiac, orthopedic, acute and chronic disease, psychology, maternity and preventative care.
I completed my extensive education and training in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine culminating in a Masters Degree in Acupuncture through the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) in Newton, MA.
As an Intern, I practiced Acupuncture at New England School of Acupuncture Teaching Center Clinic, Boston Medical Center Family outpatient center, Winchester Hospital Family Medical Center, Malden Family Medicine Center and Element Care in Lynn, Mass. My extensive training consisted of over 700 hours of direct patient practice.
I have successfully treated conditions such as migraines, headaches, back pain, hip pain, knee pain, asthma, anxiety, shoulder pain, neck pain, mild to moderate depression, smoking cessation, digestive issues, endometriosis, TMJ and more.

Shannon Caperton, L.Ac was inspired to become an acupuncturist after witnessing the power of this type of medicine. It improved the health of family members struggling with health issues and who were bereft of relief using standard medical care.

She attended graduate school at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago where she earned her Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine. During her time in Chicago she was privileged to work in underserved communities at the Project Vida clinic in the Little Villages neighborhood on the city’s west side, as well as at Chicago Women's Health Center. In addition to these experiences, she worked extensively in the school’s student clinic, which prepared her for working with a diverse population and gave her the experience to treat a wide variety of disorders.

Shannon is nationally certified by the NCCAOM, as well as licensed by the Ohio Medical Board.

Lee Schwalb, a seasoned NYC acupuncturist licensed in New York State, also holds a board certification as a Chinese Herbalist from the New York Institute of Chinese Herbology. With a Master of Science in Traditional Acupuncture Medicine from the New York College of Health Professions, Lee boasts over two decades of hands-on experience in addressing a broad range of health issues. His education spanned four years and included more than 2,800 hours dedicated to studying acupuncture, herbal medicine, tai chi, and several adjunct therapies such as Tui na (Chinese massage), Eastern nutrition, laser therapy, electric stimulation, and auriculotherapy. Lee enhances his practice with additional healing modalities including Kambo detox therapy, PEMF therapy, and sound healing.

Lee’s approach to treatment is holistic, considering each patient's physical and mental health comprehensively. He evaluates the patient’s overall constitution, diet, and lifestyle to identify what is called a “pattern of disharmony.” Following a thorough initial assessment, Lee crafts a personalized treatment plan that may integrate acupuncture, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, dietary adjustments, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle changes.

With his extensive clinical background, Lee has aided a diverse clientele, helping alleviate conditions ranging from idiopathic pain and acute injuries to stress, anxiety, digestive and respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, skin issues, allergies, and reproductive health challenges. Committed to the healing journey, he strives to guide each patient toward improved health and enhanced quality of life.

Equilibrium Acupuncture uses the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine to treat our clients holistically.

With acupuncture clinics near Brisbane City, Holland Park and Cleveland, we treat people who are looking for a safe, effective alternative to mainstream medicine.

While most new clients come to us for traditional acupuncture treatments, we also offer a wide range of acupuncture treatments:

- Traditional acupuncture based on inserting fine, sterile needles in key acupuncture points.
- Gua Sha which works by scraping the skin to improve blood flow and speed up healing.
- Moxibustion using smouldering herbs to heat the acupuncture points and stimulate blood flow.
- Cupping which stimulates the blood flow, loosens muscles, releases toxins from the tissues and alleviates pain. Cupping is becoming more frequently requested because of its growing popularity with celebrities, both in Australia and globally

Acupuncture addresses the whole person including the physical, spiritual and emotional levels. At Equilibrium Acupuncture we aim to get to the root of your problem and treat the cause rather than just the symptoms.

Acupuncture is a safe treatment for a wide variety of diagnosed problems or for people who aren’t quite sure what’s causing their symptoms. Whatever your condition, we can advise you on the best acupuncture or alternative Chinese medicine treatment for your problem, be it physical or emotional.

Our philosophy centres on using acupuncture as a wellness tool to help improve and maintain your health.

We’re happy to talk about your problems, questions or concerns before you make a booking and will never take on a new client if we don’t think we can help you.
