What’s Included in Your First Visit

Your first visit is a full 1-hour session designed to understand your needs and begin treatment right away. It includes:

  • A detailed consultation using classical diagnostic methods

  • A personalised acupuncture treatment based on your individual presentation

  • Time to ask questions and discuss your health concerns

  • If appropriate, a short tuina massage may be included as part of your treatment

  • Diet and lifestyle guidance based on traditional principles, if relevant

  • A calm, professional setting in our Albany North Shore clinic

This session is about more than just relieving symptoms — it’s the beginning of a plan to support long-term balance and wellbeing.

What Sets My Approach Apart

I’m a registered Chinese Medicine practitioner trained in acupuncture, massage, herbal medicine, and traditional diagnosis. My treatments are based on classical Chinese Medicine, with added experience in Tibetan and Ayurvedic systems.

I combine acupuncture with movement practices like yoga and qigong to support deeper, long-term healing — not just quick fixes.

I only treat one person at a time. No multi-bed or multi-room setups — just focused, one-on-one care in a calm, private space.

If you’re looking for natural, personalised treatment that supports your whole body and mind, I’m here to help.

Before I came to Dean I was barely able to turn my head, my neck ached constantly and I had very restricted movement. I had been diagnosed with a degenerative cervical spine and was extremely despondent. Following just the first session I was able to move far more freely and after each session I am relaxed and pain free. Dean is extremely knowledgeable, professional and has wonderful healing skills. I had never attempted acupuncture before but am now a convert and would thoroughly recommend Dean to anyone who requires treatment for any issues.

Dean is a truly gifted acupuncturist, healer & yoga teacher. Over the past few years I have seen Dean for a range of issues including, chronic insomnia & anxiety, digestive issues, tight neck & shoulders & chronic jaw tension. Dean has played a massive role in my personal healing journey. He draws on wisdom & healing techniques from multiple Eastern traditions which is very unique. Since seeing Dean for acupuncture & also attending his 6 week Yantra course I have managed to overcome the sleep disorder, digestive issues and release a lot of pain & tension & feel a lot more balance & harmony. I would highly recommend Dean to anyone seeking to heal any issues or wishing to expand their own practice & knowledge..

Dean is truly amazing, I can't recommend him more. I had an accident and hurt my knee, any movement was very painful. After just one session with Dean, my leg has became much more flexible. After the second session the pain had mostly gone and I could walk normally and even on stairs! My life is back. Dean is very kind, caring, compassionate and professional. He explains the treatment very clearly and tells me what to expect before he puts the needles in. Each time after acupuncture, he also gives me massage and carefully designs some safe yoga exercises for me. I love yoga so I really enjoy them. The treatment room is very comfortable and I always feel very relaxed and peaceful. Thanks Dean, I'm very grateful I have found you.

I have been seeing Dean for the last year to treat my chronic back, shoulder and neck pain. It has helped me in a way that I have been able to heal from the root, recover my mobility and live pain free as well as get back my energy, manage my emotions, balance my hormones and reduce significantly my stress levels. I do highly recommend Dean Wickenden Acupuncture.

The best acupuncture treatment I’ve ever had. Dean is extremely genuine and knowledgeable in his practice. I recommend his acupuncture highly, for injury rehabilitation or general overall well-being.

Dean provides an incredible service and has healed my injuries more than any specialist or doctor has done. Highly recommended.

After suffering with chronic headaches and neck pain I eventually found my way to Dean. Other treatments had not relieved my symptoms but Dean managed to get me out of my nightmare and give me my life back. I can’t recommend him enough, he’s very empathetic and understanding. Thanks Dean!!

I wholeheartedly endorse Dean as a healer for any condition because he is such an amazing person. He approaches his therapies holistically and is very knowledgeable. More significantly, after every session I feel totally different and better in every way, than I did when I arrived. Dean is a very reputable practitioner that you can confidently entrust for both your initial experience and follow-up treatments if you haven't tried acupuncture before (you should absolutely give it a try - Dean really understands and using his calming techniques, alleviates your fear of needles). If you have an injury, your life will be made easier by Dean's status as an ACC provider.
