Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture

by Ashini Perera

Gentle medicine meets collective care

Welcome to Just a Little Prick

Hi, I’m Ashini (she/her), an AHPRA registered Chinese Medicine practitioner and founder of Just A Little Prick (JALP) Acupuncture — a name that holds space for a little light-heartedness.

My journey into Chinese Medicine began with a personal search for health answers. Living with Psoriasis led me to explore alternative medicine . What I found in Chinese Medicine was a deep, ongoing return to myself and that is what I aim to bring to my patients.

Healing happens best in spaces where people feel safe, affirmed, and seen — especially for those who are often overlooked in health care.

At JALP Acupuncture, I’m passionate about community care that honours the whole person. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, hormonal shifts, stress, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with your body, you’re welcome here — exactly as you are.

With heart, humour, and just a little prick.
