CARM Therapies

30/11/2025

10 years ago, we got the keys to our new shop in Higgins. We were full of excitement as we cleaned, painted, furnished and created a vision of a new chapter for CARM Therapies.

We have had highs and lows, laughter, (sometimes tears) over the years here. Lots of challenges that come with the territory of running a small business, but also unexpected and life changing experiences like Covid, which definitely changed all of us in many ways.

Through all of it, you - our beautiful community - have been here with us. And what a privilege it has been to be here for you.

So today we raise a glass and give thanks for the past 10 years, and get into the festive spirit at the same time!!

Love to you all! 💜🎄💜
Emily and Kingsley

And so, after 9 years of bossing us around, of caring for everyone, and providing amazing treatments to our CARM Community, it’s with both sadness and gratitude that we say a heartfelt farewell to Rowena!

The clinic won’t be the same without your bunny/reindeer ears, the random appearance of googley eyes, and the sounds of laughter coming from your treatment room.

So in this, your last week with us, we say thanks! Thanks for being the intelligent, thoughtful, and caring woman you are. Thanks for all the little extra things you have done around the clinic (and Marko too!!), and thanks for being the clinic mum!

All the best for your adventures in Victoria! We’re gonna miss you!

💜💜💜

And so the time finally came that we have to bid farewell to our one and only Caitlin!!

We wish her all the best for the upcoming weeks, and all the adventure she has ahead!

We will miss her in the clinic, but are so happy for her and know how lucky we have been to have her as part of our team for so long!

As 2024 draws to a close, and the dawn of a new year fast approaches, we reflect on what has been a challenging, but rewarding year.

Both Emily and Kingsley finally completed certifications that they had been working towards over the past few years.

Kingsley completed his post graduate certification in Neuropuncture and will continue his studies to become a teacher of Neuropuncture in the new year.

Emily completed her Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy, and is embarking on a few smaller courses in the new year to complement those, but also aims to complete a bronze level boxing coaching certificate, as her love for the art and positive mental health side of the sport continues to grow.

Rowena also completed studies in Lymphatic Drainage, and is about to embark on certification in Personal Training next year!

Caitlin continues to study her degree in Radiography, having had a big year of work placements and looking forward to another big year ahead.

John remains a constant calming presence in the clinic in between his FIFO work, and is also looking to do more study in the new year.

And we welcomed a new team member in Erica who brings with her a Degree in Myotherapy.

We have listened to many stories of trials and tribulations over this past year. Many of us have lost loved ones, had illnesses or injuries, and gone through hard times. But through it all, amazing things have also happened and we have shared those moments together as well.

Let’s reflect on the positives, on the people we love, and look to the possibilities ahead for this new year.

Bring it on!!

Wishing all of our wonderful CARM community a safe and merry festive season!

Massive congratulations to Kingsley, having had many trials and tribulations over the past few years to finish this qualification, he has just been awarded his Certification in Neuropuncture - Neuroscience Acupuncture.

Kingsley began this qualification back in 2019 and was meant to complete the training in the USA in 2020. Unfortunately due to COVID19 that was interrupted, and four years on, he has finally been able to return to the training and successfully complete his certification to become the first Australian to be a certified Neuropuncturist! 🌟

We are so proud of him and his achievements and look forward to the opportunities this will open up for him going forward.

Feeling a little stiff and sore from the cold hitting us in the last two weeks!?!

Both Kingsley and John are back to full speed as of next week, so if you’re looking to book in some Acupuncture appointments jump on the phone and give us a buzz, or flick us an email 👍🏼🤩👍🏼

An interesting read about new research on the effect the brain and the vagus nerve have on inflammation and the immune system.

Scientists identify the brain cells that regulate inflammation, and pinpoint how they keep tabs on the immune response.
