Kallista Chinese Medicine - Acupuncture & Pain Relief 87 Monbulk Road, Kallista, Victoria 3791
About the Business
Welcome to Kallista Chinese Medicine - Acupuncture & Pain Relief! Located at 87 Monbulk Road in Kallista, Australia, our institution offers a range of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) services to promote healing, restore balance, and improve overall well-being.
At Kallista Chinese Medicine, our experienced practitioners, Kali and Ayla, utilize acupuncture, acu-pressure massage, cupping, and herbal medicine to treat symptoms and address the underlying causes of various health conditions. Kali, a body-oriented trauma therapist, specializes in resolving anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and illness by incorporating techniques such as Somatic Experiencing® and TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises).
TCM has proven to be particularly effective in treating women's issues, including menstrual irregularities, menopause, fertility, and pregnancy. Our practitioners have a deep understanding of the patterns of disharmony within the body, allowing them to provide targeted treatments and correct imbalances.
In addition to TCM, we offer Cranio Sacral therapy (CST), a gentle hands-on healing technique that mobilizes and releases tension and trauma in the cranio-sacral system. This therapy focuses on the head, spine, pelvis, and sacrum, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
Our small team of therapists is dedicated to providing comprehensive services that address the mind, body, and spirit. Alongside Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine, we offer Osteopathy, Shiatsu & cupping, Laser acupuncture, Somatic Experiencing®, and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®). We also provide high-quality herbal pills, capsules, over-the-counter medicines, and liniments for a range of common health complaints.
If you are experiencing pain or have chronic symptoms that seem unrelated, our holistic approach can help. Chinese Medicine views the body as an interconnected system and treats both the symptoms and underlying causes of disharmony. We also provide guidance on diet and lifestyle changes that may be necessary for improved health and well-being.
Kali Foster, a pioneer in Somatic trauma therapy, combines Japanese palpation-style acupuncture with Kathy Kain's touch work to provide bodywork treatments that regulate the nervous system. Through safety and co-regulation, Kali helps clients achieve parasympathetic states, which enhance the effectiveness of acupuncture and often lead to rapid and profound results. Kali also offers Somatic Experiencing® trauma sessions, boundary work, and access to healthy anger and self-compassion.
For those interested in self-empowerment and stress relief, we offer Trauma Release Exercises (TRE). This simple technique can be learned and practiced at home to release deep chronic tension caused by traumatic or stressful events. Kali teaches TRE to individuals from the clinic and also provides 1:1 trauma therapy using Somatic Experiencing® techniques to alleviate pain, stress, and anxiety by calming and regulating the nervous system.
We are open Monday to Wednesday from 9am to 5pm, Thursday from 12pm to 8pm, Friday from 9am to 6pm, and Saturday from 9am to 1pm. Appointments can be made by calling Natasha Laurie on 0408 123 609 or visiting hillsosteopathy.com.au.

Reviews
"I have had 3 Somatic Trauma therapy sessions so far with the amazing Kali. I can honestly say that I have experienced more healing, empowerment and growth in these 3 sessions than I have in over 20 years of seeing various psychiatrists/psychologists. I leave every session feeling like I understand myself just that little bit more and I am cultivating love, understanding and compassion for all parts of me. Kali has been instrumental in helping me to facilitate this and I could not recommend her enough! Kali really knows her stuff and is genuine and compassionate. I feel very safe, seen and heard in our sessions and that is super important to me. Thankyou for your wisdom, warmth and kindness Kali. I’m looking forward to continuing my healing journey with you!"
"I have been seeing Kali Foster since 2017. The reason why I see Kali for treatment is because I suffer from muscle tightness in various parts of my body. The method of treatment for my condition is a combination of acupuncture, massage, and cupping. These forms of treatment are very effective for my conditions as I always feel an instant release of muscle tension. Not only is the treatment immediate, it also has longevity. I think this is attributed to Kali's care and precision in her approach to treatment; Kali is very knowledgeable on pressure points on the human body and how to pin point discomfort. Apart from the psysical benifits of Kali's treatment there is also a mental component which I can describe as calmness of mind and feeling uplifted. I highly recommend seeing Kali Foster if you experience muscle pain as she is fantastic. Ryan"
"I had a session with Ayla today, a combination of acupuncture and craniosacral therapy. I felt at ease in Ayla's care immediately, she has a very gentle and nurturing presence. My stomach has been in knots with stress and anxiety, today was the first time in years that I felt my gut had a chance to fully relax. I'm really excited for my next appointment and the healing that this journey will provide my mind and body. Thanks Ayla."
"I spent many months seeing Kali for acupuncture, cupping and Chinese herbs. It was a very stressful time for me both physically and emotionally and I found Kali to be very empathetic and compassionate and I felt her treatments helped me to restore myself and heal. I will be forever grateful for the excellent treatment and even more so for her kindness and wisdom. Thank you Kali!"
"Kali Foster from Kallista Chinese Medicine has been my doctor of choice for over 12 years. Her professionally skilled response to a variety of situations illustrate just how awesome her particular blend of modalities works. Between the herbs, top quality and always the effective dosage, the acupuncture and the shiatsu, I know I will have a deep ally in meeting whatever it is that my body is going through. Grateful."
