It is my pleasure and of course, with much excitement that I officially introduce you to Miss Charlotte Clark 🥰 A ray of light and wisdom & already a favourite among many of our regular clients at Sundance. So without further ado, here she is:-

🦋 Charlotte – Registered Acupuncturist

Charlotte has been practicing as a registered acupuncturist since early 2024. After receiving acupuncture, she found the sessions had greatly benefitted her health and lifestyle, above and beyond what she had originally sought treatment for, which was 'simple' shoulder pain.

She knew that she wanted to help people, and has now found a particular passion in women's health and mental health, both of which have significant research and support in Chinese medicine traditions.

Charlotte also has experience treating musculoskeletal, digestive, immune system, pain, and fertility conditions

She uses her experience in both the modern scientific and energy healing fields to inform her practice, which stands firmly in Traditional Chinese channel and point theory traditions.

The rich history of Chinese medicine and its nuances continue to engage her, and she constantly learning new things to bring back and support her clients.
She loves treating and honours the practice of Chinese Medicine by approaching each of her clients as individuals with individual needs.

To book in for treatments visit Sundance Studio online www.sundancestudio.com.au, or Charlotte directly on 0402 805 905.

Sunday 7:30am – Therapeutic Yoga at Sundance Studio
(please book online)

This Sunday we will gently and thoughtfully build our way towards Triangle Pose (Trikonasana).
Our focus will be on:

• Opening the chest
• Strengthening and lengthening through the waist
• Balancing both sides of the body
• Creating space and ease in the lower back

This session is designed to support the release of everyday tensions, especially around the hips and lower back, helping your body feel freer, taller, and more aligned.

Looking forward to seeing you on the mat at 7:30am this Sunday at our beautiful Sundance Studio.
Let’s move with awareness, breathe with softness, and nourish the body deeply. Love Gosia x

What Acupuncture Feels Like – and Why I’m Continuing My Journey

After three sessions of acupuncture, I can honestly say the health benefits have been extraordinary. My inflammation has gone down, my digestion has greatly improved, and I feel as though my body’s natural energy — my qi — is finally flowing again. There comes a point where all the emotional release has to be caught up by the physical, and when you’re ready, you’re ready. I’m happy — and I want to keep feeling this sense of balance and movement within.

During a session, the experience is both calming and profound. I lay comfortably in my quiet therapy room by the rainforest, Charlotte holding space, birdsong infiltrates the room as fine, hair-thin needles are placed in specific points — the wrists, feet, stomach, forehead. What might sound intimidating is, in truth, deeply relaxing. The moment the needles are inserted, there’s a subtle tingling called de qi — a sign that energy has been activated. The feeling soon transforms into an airy, light sensation that lingers for hours afterwards.

Acupuncture works by restoring the body’s natural energy flow — qi — through channels connected to different organs and systems. In traditional Chinese medicine, disruptions to this flow are believed to cause imbalance, pain, and illness. The goal of acupuncture isn’t just to treat symptoms, but to bring the body back into harmony. It’s like resetting an inner current that connects everything — mind, body, and spirit.

After my own sessions, I felt waves of release and an inner calm I hadn’t realized I’d lost. My body feels less inflamed, my digestion smoother, my energy clearer. It’s as if my system has been given permission to exhale.

Acupuncture isn’t meant to hurt — the needles are tiny, and the experience is often described as relaxing, even euphoric. Many people use it to relieve pain, anxiety, insomnia, or digestive issues, but it’s equally valuable for general wellbeing and maintenance.

For me, it’s become more than treatment — it’s a recalibration. After three sessions, I can feel that my energy is ready to move freely again. And that’s something I want to keep nurturing.

Lately friends have been commenting to me on how young I am looking .. one girlfriend after spending the whole night with her kept saying it over, until one point she said have you had botox injections… I laughed and said no way, never and I normally pass off these comments as, 'someone is just being nice' and thanking them but when every person you meet even just on passing is making particular reference, I started to question.. what am I doing differently that could be contributing?

And so now before I start sounding like an ad for next latest invention which is just rediscovered age old wisdom, well probably that’s all it is… but besides the pottery which brings me so much joy and dance, well we know what that does to me! Loving my job in Innisfail, morning self Abhyanga, swimming laps in our gorgeous public swimming hole?

These things were bringing me joy and fitness but what really are the things that I’ve been doing differently?

Well..... I started yoga classes with Gosia and then I did a one on one session, where she asked me what I wanted and I told her - to heal my belly. My belly that has birthed 5 babies into this world, my belly that has dealt with so much… She told me I needed minerals! (What chocolate - isn’t enough?!?! 😅) She put me on the most delicious and heart warming breakfast, a warm bowl of miso soup, seaweed and small fish. I've been doing that now every morning - along with everything else… but then I remembered, I am also doing weekly acupuncture with Charlotte Clark and that has been rocking my world with an acute awareness of which organ is struggling.. My liver is struggling, I said but I don’t drink, that often, maybe a couple of celebratory drinks at parties, so then she told me about the dampness in my liver and also my spleen… I’m not sure if there is a point to my story, I’m really just sharing, my experience, which is a healthy stronger core and other benefits like, smell returning and well, if it is, that you are all just being nice to me - then it couldn’t have come at a better time as I am not having my daily dose of chocolate!

As well, I am feeling so supported right now with the studio so - thank you, for all of it!

Wait there is a beautiful point to this story:- Charlotte Clark who has left the practice in Innisfail, encouraged by her clients to step out on her own, is now practising Acupunture at the studio, in our newly renovated, air conditioned therapy room by the forest.
