Dr K. Louise Bennett

Principal Acupuncturist

Your Balance Acupuncture Brisbane practitioner, Louise Bennett, has spent 30 years in the health sector developing and refining the skills and knowledge needed to assist individuals experiencing both acute and chronic health issues.

With many years’ experience in nursing, midwifery, and gynaecology, Louise is qualified to treat a broad range of health issues. She specialises in women’s health, covering pregnancy, fertility, and pain management.

Louise was first introduced to acupuncture as a patient, and the experience was so powerful it inspired her to change careers, leaving the busy maternity and nursing wards to become a Chinese medicine practitioner.

This life-changing experience occurred in her mid-30s when she conceived a longed-for second child with the help of regular acupuncture treatments. Later, as her busy family life with two energetic children made everyday living challenging and Louise found herself merely existing rather than truly living, a series of acupuncture treatments helped bring joy back into her life.

It was the positive results from her personal experience with acupuncture in Brisbane that motivated Louise to explore holistic patient care, combining Western and Traditional Eastern medicine. She earned her Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture) in 2009.

Louise’s qualifications include:

  • Bachelor of Health Science (Nursing)

  • Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture)

  • Toyohari Acupuncture: East Asian Needle Therapy

  • Kiiko Matsumoto style acupuncture: Basic & Advanced Certifications

  • Kiiko Certification

  • Do Nakano Level 1 & Level 2

Louise offers an empathetic, caring, and non-judgmental holistic health service, with treatments based on the traditional Eastern medicine approach. This approach takes into account physical issues, lifestyle factors, and other stressors that impact health and wellness.
