  • Dr. Cherye Roche - Clinical Director, Pure Healthcare Albany NZ

    “Megan Nielsen is a supremely skilled and experienced practitioner of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I have had the pleasure to work with Megan in an integrated clinic here in New Zealand. Not only does she get results for her clients, she does so with a high degree of compassion and professionalism. She was a fantastic team member on our interdisciplinary team of alternative healthcare practitioners. I readily and enthusiastically refer my clients to her for a variety of health challenges, and especially for fertility care. Also, I am her loyal client for my health challenges. I whole heartedly endorse her as a wonderful practitioner and a delightful human”.

  • Abby Soares - Registered Nurse and Nutritionist

    I am extremely impressed with Megan from Integrative Acupuncture, not only is she extremely well qualified and knowledgable, but she also has an outstanding professional, yet caring, patient care approach.

    I refer a range of patients to Megan for acupuncture support and they always have excellent feedback and health outcomes from working with her. Megan takes time to listen to her patients and looks holistically at the whole person when it comes to supporting their well-being goals. It is truly a blessing to have a practitioner like Megan to work alongside and I recommend her warmly to anyone wanting support with their health, she really is a wealth of knowledge.

  • Janette Buchanan

    What a privilege to be under the amazing care of Megan, her care factor being off the scales, truly dedicated to guiding, listening to, supporting, educating and nourishing her patients. After 6 weeks of blissful treatments (an hour to focus on breathing, calmness and relaxing - which is unheard of in my world of motherhood) my sleep issues took a huge turn for the better along with so many other things that were just a by-product of Megan's guidance. I feel like a new woman and will continue my Acupuncture treatments as part of my well-being regime.

    I love meeting people who give me the inspiration to be the best version of myself I possibly can be, Megan has worked her magic, I believe in myself, I love myself and I now know there is always that one hour coming up where I can just "be". Thanks for being so beautiful in your care for me.

  • Carlie Victor

    Wow, what a beautiful, genuine and caring soul Megan is!

    I've seen her twice in the past week as I have shoulder/neck pain due to an injury and she has done Gua sha, acupuncture and cupping on me. What I love most about Megan is the way she clearly explains what's happening in the body (she is a wealth of knowledge), but most importantly, how much she cares. She checked in with me, sent me more information and went above and beyond to help me feel better.

    Would highly recommend Megan! Thank you so much.

  • Elona Spijkerbosch

    Megan is amazing! Megan has helped me so much with my headaches, stress and general well-being.

    Megan has a very calm, gentle way about her that makes you feel at ease and understood. I can't recommend Megan highly enough.

  • Delia Daniels

    Megan is absolutely amazing! Her calm, gentle and knowledgeable approach goes far beyond other acupuncture experiences and has had a lasting impact.

    I would recommend Megan to anyone looking for a highly qualified, holistic, intuitive and genuinely caring practitioner.

  • Amanda McKay

    Megan is so calm and trustworthy as a practitioner. She has the ability to hold space and listen to her clients.

    I highly recommend her on your journey to wellness.

  • Francesca Davis

    Megan is a gifted practitioner. Her depth of knowledge across a range of medical disciplines is impressive and she has always been incredibly interested and compassionate toward me. Her work speaks for itself.

    I saw real results with reduced symptoms of PCOS, pain and irregular periods, and also with injury pain, emotional pain and just whatever state you were in that needed fixing. I respect her non-bias approach to Eastern and Western medicine and she is generous with her resources and information. I only wish I had more time to visit her clinic.

“Megan is amazing! She helped me regain my period after coming off the pill. I got so excited to go see her every week! Definitely recommend.”

— Kelsi Boocock

  • Grace Crawford

    Megan at Integrative Acupuncture has been treating me for almost a year now, and she has had a hugely positive impact on my health. She has amazing skills with acupuncture and treats in a beautifully holistic and gentle manner.

    Her skills specifically in balancing hormones have been invaluable to me.

  • Jessica Symon

    Megan is truly exceptional and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing health or fertility support. Appointments are like visiting with a best friend/fertility specialist/therapist rolled into one, but with all the amazing benefits of acupuncture. I feel lighter with a restored sense of well-being with each and every visit.

    She's up to date on all the latest research and techniques, and her individualized care is hugely refreshing. She has helped me address hormone imbalances, relieved back and neck pain, and eased anxiety - honestly I think she can do it all. I can't imagine where I'd be without her!

  • Kea van der Spuy

    Megan is absolutely brilliant at what she does! She is so incredibly caring too.

    The acupuncture sessions made me feel so relaxed and really helped with all my pregnancy aches and pains.

    I will definitely return for postpartum treatment.

  • Livs Ya

    I feel very grateful to have found Megan, as she is incredibly kind, supportive, and knowledgeable.

    I initially went to see her for pain associated with Endometriosis, of which she has helped tremendously. What has also been wonderful are all the other symptoms she has helped with too; feelings of anxiety, chronic sinus issues, and low immune function have all improved greatly from Megan's acupuncture.

    Megan is incredibly passionate about helping people get real and lasting results. I leave every session feeling calmer and I cannot recommend her enough.

  • Sarah Harris

    To say Megan is wonderful would be an understatement. I have had the most amazing experience with her so far, she’s improved my acne, hormones and sleeping 10 fold and it’s only just the beginning. She’s kind and compassionate yet very professional.

    I can’t recommend anyone more than her!

  • Bruce Cain

    During two careers in the military and as a stuntman, numerous acupuncturists have helped keep me on track.

    Megan's holistic approach and technical ability are a combination that unlocks and assist your body's innate ability to heal itself. She's helped me fix a frozen shoulder and the tears that caused them- without cortisone or surgery.

    She's right up there and one of the best!

  • Leslie Sherlock Hurd

    Megan is an absolute superstar! Extremely professional and so very wise regarding all things health-related, she tailors her treatments perfectly every time. She always goes the extra mile, helping with supplements and other advice and following up, she is unbelievably generous.

    Plus she's AMAZING with kids! I can't say enough good things about Integrative Acupuncture, 100% recommend it!

  • Joanne Lowe

    I visited Megan weekly whilst I was preparing for IVF in 2019. Megan was so incredibly knowledgeable about hormones and health in general. Megan made a huge difference in balancing my hormones and improving my egg quality.

    I had tried other Acupuncturists before meeting Megan and was not happy with their either approach or knowledge.

    When I met Megan for the first time, I knew straight away she was the right fit for me and would be able to help me. I couldn't recommend Megan more highly.

“I love going to see Megan. It’s such a deeply healing and relaxing experience. Whatever you need Megan can help.”

— Judith Morrogh

  • Amy Mostert

    Couldn't recommend Megan highly enough. She has been treating me the whole way through my pregnancy where I have had terrible hyperemesis. Her sessions always left me feeling so much better.

    Megan has such a calm manner, is super knowledgeable and so supportive. I felt so heard and understood with my concerns and wants at each and every appointment.

  • Elizabeth Walker

    Megan is one of the most compassionate and caring practitioners that I have ever been in contact with. I went to see her for prenatal and postnatal acupuncture to help with induction, relaxation and stress relief. Not only does she put you right at ease with her calming voice but you can tell that she genuinely cares about helping you. I looked forward to every session and we were able to successfully be induced and welcome our beautiful baby boy to this world.

    I also continued to see her for postpartum support and she graciously watched my baby boy at each session so that I could fully relax. I cannot praise this wonderful woman enough for all that she has done for me!

  • Li Camilleri

    Integrative acupuncture has fast become my first step in recovering from injury and reducing pain. Megan is so insightful and she goes over and above to find a workable solution using a commendable holistic approach.

    She has managed to do what years of chiropractic, osteopathic, and western treatments could not, and delivered with genuine care and consideration. This is the closest you’ll get to a miracle-worker! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

  • Michella Otmar

    Great to get acupuncture/herbs/diet and lifestyle recommendations from Megan. She really knows her stuff. I was a bit unsure if this was the best treatment option for me, but I was recommended by a friend who is a nurse, and I am so glad I went. I was struggling with all these random symptoms that can now be linked back to stress and stress management.

    Being proactive and getting on top of this have made all the difference. Very grateful for Megan and her work.

  • Jana-Rae Esterhuysen

    I have been struggling with PCOS for the last 10 years and have never felt supported by any of my doctors. Megan is supportive, caring and definitely has your best interest at heart. She goes the extra mile and is determined to solve fertility/weight/pain (and much more) issues.

    Megan has managed to regulate my cycles and my abdomen pain is almost completely reduced. 100% recommend popping in to see Megan!

  • Natasha Bourke

    I've had a really bad back for a number of years and have seen countless people for it. I've learned that treating chronic pain is never a quick fix. However, I was really impressed that within 3 sessions with Megan my pain was greatly reduced. Stress is a trigger for my inflammatory condition and Megan addressed that with her treatment... putting me into a deeply meditative state. I never thought acupuncture could be so relaxing. I practically floated out of the clinic afterwards! Megan has a great deal of knowledge and expertise and her acupuncture treatment is unlike any I have had in NZ (mainly from physio's). I highly recommend her service.

  • Virginie Desjardins

    Megan helped me restore balance in my body when I needed it the most. A lot of different symptoms had shown up and she really took the time to listen and gave me the best treatment possible.

    I would definitely recommend Megan for a professional, caring and integrative approach to health.

  • Nicole Lovesy

    I decided to try acupuncture to help me conceive again after a miscarriage. I’m so glad I did! Apart from the fact I got pregnant straight away, Megan was amazing and went beyond the acupuncture to make sure I was emotionally supported the whole time.

    She is so knowledgeable and I would recommend her to anyone, you’ll definitely be in good hands!

women giving reviews on acupuncture services auckland nz

I couldn’t recommend Megan highly enough - her care has been life-changing for me.

I started seeing her in November 2020 due to intense weekly migraines triggered by stress & back injury. Despite multiple sessions with an osteopath, I couldn’t stop the migraines that kept coming back every week and hammering me down. They became a real handicap as totally unpredictable damaging work/social life.

A friend recommended trying Megan’s acupuncture as a treatment. As someone who’s plainly scared of needles, I was never an acupuncturist expert/fan but decided to give it a go and boy! How glad I am I found the courage to try.

Within the first week of treatment, my migraines were gone!

I carried them for almost a year beforehand and couldn’t believe a week of treatment sorted me out. I kept on going for an additional 4 sessions as after each I felt better and better. My energy levels were up, I was more relaxed overall and absolutely relieved to become reliable again in terms of work I could take or social outings I could attend/organise.

While I don’t have points of comparison with other acupuncturists, I particularly respected Megan’s approach to health mixing her knowledge of the western & holistic world. She’s also someone incredibly warm & empathetic who will support your healing by going the extra mile if she needs to.
