Holistic health
solutions that last.

The team at Project Dao are truely 5/5. Staff are warm and welcoming, and the selection of services/practitioners blend together perfectly to optimise the health journey. I took a chance on Project Dao to support my mental health, and I am so glad that I did.

My journey with Yanan had it’s (emotional) ups and downs. But the support, compassion and safe environment she provided helped me grow as a person. With a combination of acupuncture and compassionate inquiry, I walked in three months ago a shell of a human, and i’ve walked out shining brighter again. Thank you Yanan.

Tui Na Massage with Thad Wong has become a new favourite form of self care. The subtle but powerful body releases drawn out are like nothing I have experienced with traditional massage. If you’re yet to try classical Chinese massage, I highly recommend you give it a go!

In helping me, John’s approach was pretty different to the physios/massage therapists I had seen in the past. Not only did he treat my spine and shoulder in a highly effective way, he also taught and prescribed me exercises from a wide range of disciplines that included tai chi, callisthenics and kettlebell training. This was not a one-size-fits-all, textbook approach – the exercises he gave me were tailored to me and my body.

Not only did I feel vastly improved after every treatment, I also built a broad range of skills which meant I had a solid base to continue working on my body independently from the treatment room.

Seeing him last week for the first time in a year was immensely empowering because the scapular is no longer winging and the sclerosis is vastly improved. Importantly, as I’m leaving the country to live overseas, I know I have the knowledge and skills to continue working on this by myself.I highly recommend John for his unparalleled expertise and care. Under his guidance my body has totally transformed for the better.

She gave me a very personalized and complete treatment plan that has helped all parts of me come together and begin to heal. Acupuncture in addition to compassionate inquiry therapy has helped me so much gain insight and understanding about myself and my needs, as well as connect with distant and young parts of myself I’ve been glossing over for years. Could not recommend enough!❤️

I’ve been going to Project Dao since 2019 on the recommendation of a former student. I was exhausted, physically and mentally, from a toxic workplace, an abusive relationship and unresolved traumas. I knew I needed to approach my body and mind more holistically in order to heal, and Yanan has played an incredibly important role for me in this journey. I’ve had numerous acupuncture treatments with her over the years and more recently as part of the Healing Contract which also included a few sessions of Compassionate Inquiry and Body Movement Therapy with John. The combination of these treatments really helped me get through a challenging year (I was diagnosed in April with severe carpal tunnel syndrome and told I would need surgery; I did the Healing Contract instead and my wrists/thumbs are stronger than ever). I’ve also had facial rejuvenation acupuncture with Yvette and massage with Rei – both were great. The atmosphere of Project Dao is serene and welcoming, including to my dog, Jae, who was always so excited and happy to come with me for my treatments because he could sense the good energy. Highly recommend it!

I have tried to write this review for sometime now. The reason I haven’t done so is simply because I don’t seem to have the right words to describe just how amazing the past three to four months have been and how much project dao has changed my life for the better.

I went to Project Dao because I had back pain and yet I am now sitting here with a whole new lease on life.

Every movement I make, every experience I have and the relationships with my family and friends are no less than profound.

I’m a country boy, a builder and never thought the need for alternative medical practices in my life or the world was necessary.. how wrong I was.

I hope that if you’re reading this, you’re at a point where you’re thinking of committing to the healing contract or just the first appointment. Please don’t think anymore. Just do it. It will change your life and you will have a sense of knowing and belonging to this world but, more importantly, yourself and your health. It was the best decision I have made in my entire 42 years of life.

Thank you Yanan, thank you John, thank you project dao.
