Who is Sacred

Dr. Iesha Coombes (TCM)

Iesha is a registered acupuncturist with a Bachelor of Health Science (AcuTh), and the owner of Sacred Acupuncture & Wellness. She is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA) - and is a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).

She has a special focus on women’s health, fertility, postpartum care, and mental wellbeing, and is committed to offering personalised, considered care that supports overall health and wellness. Iesha has a passion for ongoing learning and research, actively integrating current scientific evidence, clinical insight and traditional principles into her practice.

Before training as an acupuncturist, she started her career as a personal trainer which shaped her appreciation for the interconnected role of movement, lifestyle, and long-term health, which continues to influence her holistic approach to practice today. Further into her health journey, Iesha’s postpartum experience following the birth of her first child played a pivotal role in guiding toward Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly during a time when conventional options did not provide the support she was seeking. This experience deepened her commitment to understanding the underlying contributors to imbalance within the body, and to approaching care with curiosity, compassion, a gentle hand, and respect for the individual.

Iesha particularly enjoys incorporating lifestyle and dietary therapy alongside acupuncture, guided by the belief that food is not only fuel for the body, but an important source of nourishment and support for wellbeing - a philosophy she often expresses with the phrase: “feeding people is my love language”…. turns out it’s a lot more than just that!
