Thirty years of clinical traditional Chinese medicine on the Tweed Coast. Whole-person care that takes the time to understand what's beneath the surface — because pain rarely lives in one place.
Three brands, one origin: Dr Mal McKay, thirty years of clinical practice, and a belief that the body wants to heal. The clinic is where we are now. The product is what's next. The Wellness Hub is where we're going.

Heal by youA destination at Hastings Point that holds clinic, product, and community in one place. Treatment rooms, group programs, retreat space — the philosophy made physical.
The visionMost issues that bring people to us — chronic pain, fatigue, stress, women's health, recovery — have been building for months or years. They don't unwind in a single appointment. The Levels of Care framework gives us the cadence to actually make change.
Acute. The presenting issue is dominant. Sessions weekly until relief lands.
Underlying patterns. Sessions fortnightly. We treat the cause, not just the symptom.
Maintenance. Monthly or seasonal. Catch drift before it becomes pain again.
Most patients work through a 12-treatment protocol — a structured pathway that maps relief, restoration, and prevention. We talk about it together at your first consultation.
"Mal listened to me for an hour before he picked up a needle. The pain in my shoulder is gone for the first time in three years."
"Have been seeing Mal on and off for fifteen years. Best practitioner on the Tweed Coast, full stop."
"Came in for migraines, left with a real plan. Have only had two in six weeks since starting the protocol."
Most major private health funds cover acupuncture. We process your claim on the spot via HICAPS — you pay only the gap. Also a registered provider for NDIS, Work Cover, and Motor Vehicle / Injury Insurance.
