A&I works at the intersection of acupuncture and subconscious repatterning to restore balance across the body, mind and self.

The work releases inherited patterns, stabilises the system, and helps symptoms resolve at their root.

For people who want genuine insight and the tools to actually do something with it.

Grace Elliston | Acupuncturist and Theta Healer

Hi, I’m Grace.

I created Awareness & Integration as a place where the self, the body and the mind are worked on together, not in parallel.

My route into this work wasn’t theoretical. I trained in both because they were the approaches that genuinely shifted things for me. I experienced how powerful they are when they’re applied with precision and held within a clear therapeutic structure.

In 9 years of clinical practice, I’ve learned people don’t struggle because they’re ‘broken’ they struggle because their system isn’t communicating with itself.

A&I brings these threads together into one coherent approach.

It reflects how I actually work: direct, relational, and deeply respectful of the complexity of the human system.

It’s for people who want more than relief - they want resolution, integration, and a clearer relationship with themselves.

The world teaches us to solve everything through the mind - to analyse, to critique, to control - or otherwise we’ll ‘fall apart’.

But when the body is left out of the conversation, we end up managing symptoms rather than transforming them and true recovery never takes place.

My work bridges these worlds.

Through Five Element Acupuncture and subconscious repatterning, your body, mind and inner self are worked on in unison, bringing unconscious patterns into awareness as they change.

That pairing - awareness with physiological and subconscious shift - is what creates whole-system healing. This is integration.

  • you’ve done the “right” things — therapy, lifestyle changes, medical routes — and still sense there’s a deeper layer

  • you recognise patterns in yourself that don’t shift, no matter how much you understand them

  • You feel disconnected from who you are, or from the way you want to be living

On the other hand

This isn’t for you if you’re looking for a one-off treatment, a quick fix, or a passive experience.

The work asks for curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to participate in your own transformation.

If you’re here because you want real change, and you know you’re ready for it, you’re in the right place.
