Acute Acupuncture is focused on unlocking the body’s power to heal itself and understands the importance of enabling its patients to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.

We specialize in a wide range of medical conditions from mental/emotional problems (including addiction, anxiety, depression and reducing stress) to musculoskeletal problems (including repetitive strain injury (RSI) and any accident covered by ACC). We also support patients with chronic conditions such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, adrenal fatigue, arthritis and migraines.

After gaining a wide range of experience as an acupuncturist and tuina practitioner in different settings throughout the greater Wellington Region including Hutt Hospital Maternity Acupuncture Clinic, a community outreach program at Arohata women’s prison, at Bendy Buddha, at Achilles Clinic, and as a Teaching Assistant and a Guest Lecturer at the New Zealand School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Nate Wafstet identified a gap in the market and opened up his own clinic on The Terrace in Wellington Central where he could incorporate the experience and skills that he had acquired to build a thriving inner-city practice.

There’s nothing more satisfying than watching the progression of each patient when they embark upon their personal health journey, and Nate has great passion to help facilitate patients to achieve their health goals.

Customer Reviews

Robert Beno on Google Reviews :

Nate is the real deal: Thrilled I found this guy while travelling through Wellington cause he is an accomplished professional and a true expert. Having been to several dozen acupuncturists over the years in various countries from Australia, NZ, the UK and USA, Nate is up there with the best and tackled my head tension and related pain in a new, creative and unique way that many others before did not and this has produced great results and tremendous relief. His keen observation, deep knowledge, clever questions, insightful pulse analysis and tongue diagnosis all worked in concert to bring about a good shift in just 2 sessions. I have great admiration for his ability to get to the heart of the issue and deal with the emotional side that underlies the issues, too. All round, hands down, this is someone who is a gift to the clients fortunate enough to see him. Thanks!!!

I’ve been seeing Nate for a few months now, and I couldn’t recommend him more! As a qualified massage therapist, I am often very sceptical of other therapists. However, I have been blown away by the knowledge and treatments I have been offered over this time. Nate has a deep understanding of the human body and health that puts me at ease. The treatments have almost completely rid me of muscular tension in places that regular massage hasn’t, along with relieving stress and aiding my overall wellbeing. Absolutely fantastic job, can’t wait to come back!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
