Elisa is an Acupuncturist with over 15 years’ experience, grounded in Biomedical Science (Neuroscience) and Chinese Medicine. She has undertaken further training in Japanese acupuncture, including Toyohari, refining a highly skilled and intuitive hands-on approach.

Elisa has a special interest in supporting stress and burnout, gut health, and women’s health. She understands how deeply stress can impact the body, and is passionate about creating space for people to slow down, reset, and restore their wellbeing.

Outside the clinic, Elisa enjoys reading in cafes, practicing Tai Chi, and hiking in nature.

Growing up in Seddon, Lana spent her days outdoors at local parks and playing sport — sparking her early fascination with the human body and leading her to osteopathy for its holistic, hands-on approach.

Since graduating, Lana has worked across aged care, community sport, a coastal practice in Barwon Heads and the colourful western suburbs of Melbourne. She uses a combination of soft tissue therapy, joint articulation, manipulation, shockwave therapy and dry needling, alongside clear education and tailored exercise plans to help patients move with confidence again.

Lana has a special interest in postural concerns, jaw dysfunction and pelvic health. She has completed further training in pregnancy-related and post-partum care.

Outside the clinic? You’ll likely find her playing social hockey, trying her best at Olympic lifting — or grabbing hot chips in Seddon 🤍

The Body Folks’ first work trip ✈️

Sydney was all about stepping up — leading the consult with confidence, owning the room, and creating treatment plans that actually make a difference. With mindset and communication layered in, this is how great practitioners are built. 🤍
