Mt Pleasant Acupuncture - Kylie Skillen

Acupuncturist When Kylie’s not treating, she is a passionate gardener who enjoys growing her own food and living sustainably.

Meet Dr Kylie Skillen
Doctor of Acupuncture (BHsc)

Kylie’s complementary medicine journey started 30 years ago when her finance job sent her on a health retreat where she experienced a wide range of natural therapies. After this life changing experience, she began to study anything to do with natural medicine, with qualifications in massage, acupuncture, yoga teaching and yoga therapy. She was drawn to acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine after experiencing its positive effects with her own health and found it supported her body’s healing capacity and increased mental/physical well-being. Kylie’s acupuncture treatments are tailored to the individual and may include needling, cupping, moxibustion, Chinese herbal formulas, breath work and stretches based on your needs. Her special interests include acupuncture for fertility (pre-conception, IVF/IUI support); menopause and pregnancy related symptoms; stress and emotional issues (anxiety/depression); autoimmune disorders and pain management (acute & chronic). She is a mother, book reader, food lover and dog mum who enjoys wide open spaces on her rural property. Education and Certifications
Kylie has a Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture), is an accredited member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA), and is a registered practitioner under the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Authority (AHPRA).

💛International Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness 💛

Early pregnancy loss can be physically and emotionally overwhelming. New national guidelines from RANZCOG are helping healthcare providers offer better support for women experiencing miscarriage, recurrent miscarriage, or ectopic pregnancy.

Key updates include:
✨ Redefining when further testing should begin
✨ Encouraging empathetic, respectful care
✨ Improving physical and emotional support

The federal government’s $9.5 million commitment to miscarriage research and support is an important step toward breaking the silence and improving care.

If you or someone you know needs support, these services are here to help:
💛Red Nose Grief and Loss: 1300 308 307

💛Pregnancy, Birth & Baby: 1800 882 436

💛PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia): 1300 726 306

💛Bears of Hope: 1300 114 673

You are not alone.
