Looking for Luke Preston Acupuncture in Dee Why? — Village Healing Centre Welcomes You
Luke Preston’s Dee Why acupuncture clinic “Northern Phoenix Acupuncture” has closed—here’s how patients can still get exceptional care
If you’ve just googled “Luke Preston acupuncture Dee Why” or “Luke Preston Northern Phoenix” you may have noticed that his website (northernphoenix.com.au) now reads:
“Please note that Northern Phoenix Acupuncture is no longer operating.”
Luke hasn’t posted a farewell or referral, so many long-time patients are reaching out to us, understandably wondering where to turn for the same calibre of Chinese-medicine support. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about continuing your healing journey just a few minutes to the south at Village Healing Centre, Curl Curl.
Why You’re Seeing “Northern Phoenix Acupuncture Is No Longer Operating”
The Northern Phoenix clinic site confirms permanent closure, without details about the reason or future plans. Public directories still list Luke Preston as an acupuncturist in Dee Why, which can make Google results confusing.
We are not affiliated with Luke or Northern Phoenix; we’re simply nearby practitioners who share a patient-centred philosophy and are ready to help. Over the years, several of our practitioners have been patients of Luke’s and have appreciated his warmth, professionalism and care. We’ve shared many patients in common, for example providing cover during holiday periods. And Lois shared classes with Luke at Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
