Althon Lin

Traditional Chinese Medicine Instructor- 26/Oct

For over a decade, Althon Lin has practiced the ancient art of acupuncture in the serene coastal town of Tauranga. As a registered member of the Chinese Medicine Council of New Zealand (CMCNZ), his path has always been guided by a deep reverence for nature and a firm belief in preventative approaches to health.

His postgraduate research delved into the synergistic effects of combined treatment techniques for both acute and chronic lower lumbar pain. The findings not only refined his clinical efficacy but also enabled him to offer his clients thoughtful guidance on post-treatment lifestyle adjustments—extending the healing benefits far beyond the treatment room.

To Althon, true well-being is not solely the practitioner’s task, but a shared journey. Healing begins with intention, and lasting transformation is born from personal effort. That is why his focus embraces both the act of healing and the art of prevention. Through active participation and mindful living, one can attain a state of harmony—where body, mind, and spirit align in balance, tailored to the rhythm of each individual life.

Beyond the clinic, Althon nurtures the community through group discussions and workshops. With quiet wisdom, he guides participants to explore the idea that illness is often a creation of the heart—a message from the soul awaiting to be heard. He teaches how suppressed emotions may take form within the body, manifesting as physical distress, and how through deep self-awareness, spiritual reflection, and authentic emotional expression, one may begin to release what no longer serves—and make space for renewal, forgiveness, and healing.

In Althon’s hands, healing is not just a technique—it is a way of life, a poetic unfolding of balance, insight, and gentle transformation.
