Donna L.Barnard. Tina Cashman. Tina Cashman: the Inspiration behind Pushkar Live a colourful life and be in the moment. These words sum up the business philosophy of Pushkar, as well as that of its owner and founder, Tina Cashman. An essential force behind the thriving energy centre, gallery and shop that is Pushkar is the inspirational group of women that Tina has gathered together over the past 14 years since she first opened Pushkar in Coffs Harbour. Worlds away from just a retail shop and also complementing Pushkar are an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, four female masseuses, four female clairvoyants and a female body piercer. Tina also employs nine dynamically focused female retail staff, without whom Tina could not weave the magic that is Pushkar today. So ... certainly amazingly gifted business women are in abundance at Pushkar.

Here are just two of them: Jakinta Ryan: Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist. Jakinta has been specialising as an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist at Pushkar for the past five years. She began her career in complementary medicine over 20 years ago at the Wat Po temple in Bangkok and later gained her Bachelor and Masters of Health Science from the University of Technology in Sydney and completed a hospital internship in Guangzhou, China. According to Jakinta, the coming year is an exciting time, as acupuncture and Chinese herbs will be nationally registered. This reflects the acceptance of Chinese medicine by the medical fraternity and the general public as an effective means of medical treatment. By incorporating the well-designed prescriptions of acupuncture and Chinese herbs, Jakinta can

restore energy and disperse pathogens without depleting the client’s strength. This is crucial in the treatment of chronic illness such as lower back, neck and general joint pain, anxiety disorders, skin disorders such as psoriasis and gynaecological disorders. Jakinta’s acupuncture is also excellent in the treatment of acute disorders such as sprain, strains, GIT disorders and viral infections such as Ross River and Barmah Forest virus. As a New Year special during January, Jakinta is offering clients a complimentary 15 minute massage with all 1 hour acupuncture appointments. Bliss!
