MELINDA WEBB
Founder Beattie Street Health Studio Dr Chinese medicine - Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Dr Joe Dispenza health practitioner Spinal energetics - level 2Breathwork Facilitator Health Starts Within
For more than a decade, Melinda Webb has been helping people understand their body’s innate ability to create change.
Chinese Medicine forms the foundation of her work, guiding people to better understand what their body is communicating through pulse diagnosis, tongue assessment and the principles of Chinese Medicine. Melinda believes that when people understand why their body is responding the way it is, they become active participants in their own health.
Her practice has evolved through years of clinical experience, continued learning and her own lived experiences. As a Dr Joe Dispenza Inner Health Coalition Practitioner, Buteyko Breathwork Instructor and Level 2 Spinal Energetics Practitioner, she brings together acupuncture, breath, nervous system awareness and body-based care in a way that is thoughtful, intuitive and deeply individual.
Melinda’s Approach
Melinda’s role is not simply to provide treatment. Education is central to her care.
She explains why particular acupuncture points are chosen, what the pulse and tongue may reveal from a Chinese Medicine perspective, and how breathing can create an immediate shift in the body while becoming a daily practice for longer-term health.
Her own work with Dr Joe Dispenza began in 2015 during a significant period in her life. Through daily meditation and the practical application of these teachings, she developed a deeper understanding of the relationship between thoughts, emotions and physical health.
Melinda believes that meaningful change requires the mind and body to move in the same direction. When a person thinks one way but continues to feel another, it can be difficult to create a different outcome. Her work helps people become more aware of these patterns and understand how breath, attention, behaviour and the nervous system can influence the way they feel each day.
Her training in Spinal Energetics has further developed her ability to recognise the subtle ways the body communicates through tension, movement, breath and resonance. Together with her knowledge of Chinese Medicine and years of clinical experience, this allows her to meet each person where they are and respond to what their body is presenting in that moment.
Somatic Acupuncture
Somatic Acupuncture is Melinda’s integrated approach to care, developed through more than a decade of clinical practice and influenced by her work in Chinese Medicine, breathwork, nervous system regulation, Dr Joe Dispenza’s teachings and Spinal Energetics.
While acupuncture identifies patterns through pulse diagnosis, tongue assessment and the principles of Chinese Medicine, Somatic Acupuncture also explores how those patterns are being expressed throughout the body. Breathing, posture, muscle tension, movement, body awareness and nervous system responses can all provide valuable information about how a person is adapting to stress, illness and life experiences.
By combining these observations with acupuncture, Melinda helps people better understand the connection between how they think, how they feel and how their body responds. Her treatments are designed to support immediate regulation while also encouraging practical, lasting change beyond the treatment room.

At the heart of every consultation is the same intention: to guide, educate and help people understand their body, influence their health and create meaningful change in their everyday life.
Paediatric Care
