A holistic approach to healing
Helping your healing journey
Welcome to Emerge Acupuncture
My name is Kim Pullan, and I am a fully qualified and registered acupuncturist.
My aim is to help people with health issues so that their bodies and minds can function at their best.
At Emerge Acupuncture, you can expect a safe and caring environment, along with a treatment that is tailored to your specific needs.
I specialize in acupuncture (both Chinese and Japanese), cupping, moxibustion, tuina (massage), and lifestyle advice.
My holistic approach focuses on nourishing and revitalizing your body to ensure it functions optimally. I can help you remove blockages and facilitate your body's natural healing process, encouraging it to work at its best.
I can assist with injury-related issues under ACC or see you privately.
Emerge Acupuncture provides holistic healthcare in Richmond at 9 Cambridge St and in Motueka at 354 High Street, New Zealand.
Let's work together to help you achieve optimal health!

All About Me
My Journey
Kia ora, I'm an Acupuncturist who's been in practice since completing my Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture) in Wellington, NZ in 2020.
I decided to become an Acupuncturist after experiencing my own health issues. Which were resolved with Acupuncture.
I've had a diverse life experience that includes raising three sons, working as a Teacher, and providing elderly care. I've had the pleasure of working in Acupuncture clinics in both Wellington and Nelson, where I've had the opportunity to get to know people and help them on their healing journeys. I've treated various issues such as shoulders, knees, backs, menopause, depression, anxiety, cancer recovery, and more.
My practice is all about empowering people to live healthier and more easeful painfree lives. I use Acupuncture, Tuina (massage), Moxabustion, and Cupping, incorporating both traditional Chinese and Japanese methods to achieve the best results.
If you're looking for a positive, caring Acupuncturist, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would love to help you restore and revitalize yourself.

FAQs
I’m Here for You
What should I expect from my first session?
In our first session, we will explore your medical history, situation, and goals to understand your needs. Chinese medicine goes beyond symptoms to identify the root cause of any issue. We will develop a plan for your wellness and begin treatment in that session.
How does it work under ACC?
To have a treatment that is covered by ACC (with a $30 surcharge) you will need to have a claim with ACC for an injury, The practitioner who made the claim for you (Doctor, Physiotherapist, Chiropractor, Osteopath) will have given you an ACC45 number (or ACC has messaged/emailed you). You will need this before coming to see me.
