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.

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.

To find out more about how acupuncture could benefit you, or to make a booking at our Brisbane City, Holland Park or Cleveland acupuncture clinics, call us on now on 0408497513 or email us today to get the conversation started.

My journey as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner started in 1994 when I met a monk in Taiwan who taught me about meditation, cleansing, food healing, calligraphy and Chinese health practices. For 10 years, I travelled around the world studying natural healing and classical Asian martial arts from various masters, healers and schools.

I graduated from the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in British Columbia with a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, modelled after the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine curriculum.

I’ve been in clinic practice for over 10 years in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. I am a Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac) with the College of Traditional Chinese Medical Practitioners and Acupuncturists in Ontario under the following number: 2807. I currently see patients at The Village Clinic in Westboro.

I teach weekly Qigong and Chen Style Tai Chi classes at Aylmer Qigong and Tai Chi and I hold regular at workshops, lectures, webinars and events on health and well-being.

I also lecture and write on child developmental psychology and behaviour using traditional Chinese medicine. I am the author of the book Democratic Parenting and the creator of The ADHD Transformation Program.

I have advanced training in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Therapy, Dietary Recommendations, Qigong/Tai Chi, and Traditional Chinese Medical Psychology.
