The appeal is dismissed because the magistrate correctly found that unlicensed acupuncture by a person without formal training, carried out at scale (six patients with 266 needles), posed substantial risk to public safety and warranted a deterrent custodial sentence; a six‑month starting point reduced for plea and personal mitigation to three months and two weeks immediate imprisonment was appropriate and not manifestly excessive.
