Clinic News & Community Updates

Welcome: Three New Practitioners Join HTC Collective

We're delighted to welcome three new practitioners to the Health Therapies Clinics collective this month: a ATMS-registered naturopath with specialisation in women's hormonal health, a remedial massage therapist with twelve years of sports clinic experience, and a kinesiologist with extensive background in working with children and learning difficulties. The additions expand HTC's capacity and breadth significantly. Introductory appointments are available through the online booking portal.

HTC Achieves ATMS Facility Recognition

We're proud to have been awarded ATMS Facility Recognition in January 2025 — a formal acknowledgement by the Australian Traditional Medicine Society that HTC meets their standards for an integrative natural health facility. This recognition affirms our commitment to professional standards, practitioner qualifications and the quality of the patient environment.

New: Kinesiology Sessions Now Available

Following significant client enquiry, Health Therapies Clinics has added kinesiology to its treatment offering with the arrival of two ATMS-registered kinesiologists to the collective. Kinesiology uses muscle testing and bio-energetic assessment to identify and address stress patterns, emotional blocks, learning difficulties and chronic fatigue presentations. Initial sessions are 75 minutes. Please see our blog for a full explanation of what kinesiology involves and who it helps most.

Practitioner Spotlight: Meet Our New Remedial Massage Therapist

We welcomed a new senior remedial massage therapist to the HTC collective in November — bringing twelve years of clinical experience from sports clinics, physiotherapy centres and private practice. Their specialisations include deep tissue work for athletic recovery, postural correction for office-based presentations, and pre/post-natal massage. Appointments are booking quickly; early booking is recommended for those seeking evening or weekend slots.

Gift Vouchers Now Fully Online — Instant Digital Delivery

Our gift voucher system has been upgraded to full online functionality with instant digital delivery. HTC gift vouchers can now be purchased at any time, delivered immediately by email, and redeemed for any treatment at the clinic. Personalised messages can be included with each voucher. This has been by far our most-requested clinic improvement — we're delighted to have it in place before the Christmas season. Visit our Gift Vouchers page to purchase.

Winter Wellness Packages Available for Lane Cove Locals

HTC introduced a series of Winter Wellness Packages in August — curated combinations of treatments designed to support immune resilience, energy and mood through the cooler months. Packages included an Immune Boost combination (acupuncture + naturopathic review), a Deep Rest package (remedial massage + sound healing), and a Whole-Body Winter Tune-Up (comprehensive three-session programme). Due to significant uptake, similar packages will be available again in the coming winter season.

Research Feature: Integrative Healthcare in Community Settings

A collaborative research project between HTC and the University of Technology Sydney's Faculty of Health was completed in June 2024, examining integrative healthcare delivery in community clinic settings. Preliminary findings — focused on patient-reported outcomes across multiple modalities — were positive. The research team presented findings at the Australasian Integrative Medicine Association conference in October. We are proud to contribute to the evidence base for community-based integrative care.

Year in Review: 2024 at Health Therapies Clinics

Looking back over the 2024 calendar year, Health Therapies Clinics served over 1,200 individual patients and hosted 18 practitioners across our collective model. Demand for naturopathy, sound healing and holistic psychotherapy grew most significantly — all consistent with broader Lane Cove trends toward integrative, preventive and mental-health-inclusive care. We added four new practitioners, upgraded our booking system and participated in three community events. We are deeply grateful to our patients, practitioners and community for an exceptional year.
