Led by Dr. Robin Won — New Zealand's only registered Acupuncture Specialist with a PhD in Traditional Chinese Medicine and 26 years of clinical experience. 3 of our 4 acupuncturists offer ACC treatment with zero co-payment. Serving Auckland patients in English, Korean, and Chinese.
Auckland Wellness Centre provides acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at our North Shore Auckland clinic in Rosedale. Dr. Robin Won is New Zealand's only acupuncture specialist with a PhD in TCM and 26 years of clinical experience. Our team of 4 acupuncturists treats pain, stress, women's health, and sports injuries. ACC acupuncture costs from $0 to $20 — no GP referral required.
Four experts. One clinic. The highest acupuncture qualification in New Zealand.
Dr. Robin Won holds the highest acupuncture qualification in New Zealand. His PhD in TCM and KOMS/KOMSA membership put him in a category of one. No other Auckland clinic can offer this level of specialist-accredited acupuncture care.
Accident-related pain, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions are frequently covered by ACC. Start treatment the same day. No GP visit, no wait — just bring your NHI number and we'll assess eligibility at your first appointment. Combine with chiropractic care for comprehensive recovery.
Our practitioners speak your language. Consultations available in English, 한국어, and 中文. For North Shore Auckland's Korean and Chinese-speaking communities, AWC offers truly fluent clinical care — not just basic phrases.
Four acupuncturists with different strengths — from PhD-level specialist to Chinese-trained practitioners. You'll be matched with the right expert for your condition, whether that's complex neurological care, fertility support, or sports recovery.
From acute sports injuries covered by ACC to chronic conditions and women's health — our team has the expertise to help. For back pain, neck pain, or work injuries, acupuncture pairs powerfully with soft tissue massage.
Not a one-size-fits-all protocol — a clinical approach tailored precisely to your condition.
Your acupuncturist assesses your condition using TCM diagnostic methods alongside modern clinical evaluation. We identify patterns, not just symptoms — understanding the root cause before placing a single needle.
Precise needle placement activates your body's natural pain-relief and healing pathways. Treatment is tailored to your specific condition, not a generic protocol. Every session adapts as your body responds.
Regular sessions build cumulative effects. Most patients report lasting improvement after a course of treatment, with many returning periodically for maintenance — maintaining the gains they've worked for.
ACC-covered patients pay little to nothing. Private patients receive world-class expert care at transparent, fair rates.
Four practitioners with distinct expertise — matched to your specific condition and language preference.
NZ's Only Acupuncture Specialist
Lead Specialist Acupuncturist — PhD, 26 Years Experience
Dr. Robin Won holds New Zealand's only Acupuncture Specialist registration — a distinction that places him in a category of one. With a PhD in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Sangji University (Korea) and 26 years of clinical experience, Dr. Won specialises in Sa-am acupuncture, a sophisticated Korean technique that goes far beyond pain relief to restore internal balance and neurological function. If you've tried acupuncture before without success, Dr. Won's specialist approach is different.
Chinese Medicine & Cupping Practitioner
Acupuncturist & TCM Practitioner
Trained at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine — one of China's top TCM institutions — Ada brings authentic Chinese acupuncture and bodywork techniques developed over centuries of clinical tradition. Her unique approach combines acupuncture with Tuina massage and cupping therapy in a single session, making her especially effective for patients with both pain and muscle tension.
Sports & Rehabilitation Acupuncture
Acupuncturist & Exercise Rehabilitation Practitioner
A graduate of Jinan University (China), Elaine brings both traditional acupuncture training and modern rehabilitation expertise to AWC. She works with a growing number of Auckland athletes, office workers with stress-related conditions, and patients managing anxiety or digestive health issues. Elaine integrates acupuncture with exercise rehabilitation for more comprehensive recovery.
20+ Years Clinical Experience
Acupuncturist — Traditional Chinese Medicine
A graduate of the New Zealand School of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine with over two decades of clinical practice, Mike Lee brings a deep foundation in both Korean Saam acupuncture and classical TCM. For patients seeking traditional, whole-body acupuncture care with an experienced practitioner, Mike provides steady, reliable results.
"I can only speak highly of Jun and Dr Robin, I literally struggled to walk. I was diagnosed with having very aggressive Rheumatoid arthritis and after having an MRI this showed that I also have 4 bulging disc's in my lower spine. With hand on heart with 1 session of acupuncture every week on the 3rd-4th week I felt good, my body finally felt like everything was in its right place and more importantly I was pain free. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone in pain and discomfort."
"I highly recommend Dr. Robin Won, Acupuncture Specialist and PhD in TCM at Auckland Wellness. He is very knowledgeable and professional in his specialised treatments that he offers focussing on healing for the whole body."
"I've been going to AWC for about three months now, and Ada's been amazing! I'd never had acupuncture or needles before, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She always knows exactly where the pain is and her treatments are spot on."
"I saw Mike Lee and was highly impressed by his professionalism and kindness. Within just a week, the pain I was experiencing has significantly subsided. I highly recommend his services."
