Mark Woods, Acupuncturist and Remedial Massage
BASci(Acupuncture), Diploma Remedial Massage, ATMS.
With 30 years of experience, Mark practices traditional acupuncture that originated in China over 2000 years ago. This ancient medical practice involves the use of single use sterile stainless steel needles to stimulate points around the body to help the body start to heal itself. Acupuncture is commonly used in the treatment of muscle and joint discomfort, however, it can also be used for organ problems as well, such as digestion, respiratory, and stress. More details can be found HERE.
Acupuncture can also be used as a complementary treatment to help assist your normal health regime. Mark is also a remedial massage therapist, that he also combines in treatment to assist in the body to heal through soft tissue manipulation.
When Mark isn't needling or massaging, he enjoys playing golf and spending time with his family, including the family oodle, Wally (which Mark may deny!).
Mark will start practice from our rooms Wanda Health Co. from Monday 20th April, 2026.
For appointments, please call Mark on 0429 846 400.

Wanda Health Co. Admin team.
Meet Jess and Tianna, our friendly reception team that are looking forward to meeting you and assisting you with all your administrative needs at Wanda Health Co.!
Both Tianna and Jess are locals with over 16 years collectively working in administration roles, from local medical centres and law firms, to the Pilbara.
Jess is inspired by the opportunity to support and care for people in a meaningful way, making sure people feel welcomed, supported, and connected to their community. You will see Jess outside the clinic at the beach, spending time with her family outdoors or doing something creative (pottery, sewing, screenprinting).
Tianna was introduced to this field by a familiar GP, Dr Jodie Yapp of Bay Doctors, who were the previous occupants of the cottage which is now Wanda Health Co. Shared patients may be familiar with seeing Tianna again behind the reception desk which was built by Tianna’s father! When Tianna isn’t sitting behind the reception desk, you may see her on the beach for a sunset swim and BBQ, and spending time with her husband, cats, and extended family.
Wanda Health Co are proud to have both Tianna and Jess on our team.
