Our Story
Taryn and Jonathon teamed up and began their journey into Oriental Medicine over 20 years ago. Taryn came from a background of human movement and remedial massage before venturing into her passion of ancient Chinese medicine and philosophy. Jonathon on the other hand jumped ship from his first career in Marine science and commercial diving, in order to pursue his interest in Asian medicine.
Taryn and Jonathon met at university while studying, quickly realizing their kindred spirits and have been a team ever since. Since graduating they have owned and operated three traditional medicine clinics. They have now found their home in Samford, where they are raising their family. The Samford Acupuncture & Massage practice has been successfully operating for 17 years, and will continue to provide the best possible service for many years to come.
Our professional team skillfully create tailored treatments to meet your health & wellbeing goals

I incorporate LED (light) therapy to create an effective and unique treatment repertoire for a wide range of solutions.
Jonathon Allen
Acupuncturist and Co-Founder
Hi, I’m Jonathon Allen, co-founder of the Samford Acupuncture & Massage clinic. My journey into Asian medicine began as an apprentice with Dr. Chu in Auckland. 20 years later I am a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture) with 14 years clinical experience.
My specialist postgraduate studies in Japanese acupuncture (toyohari, manaka and kiiko), combined with a degree of Chinese medicine and certificate in seitai /Japanese structural alignment have led to a unique and powerful treatment repertoire.
Within treatments I incorporate acupuncture, bodywork and herbal medicine. I also treat sports and musculo-skeletal conditions using motor point needling.
