Discover methods of dealing with your familys health that will help strengthen their system so that drugs like antibiotics are a last port of call rather than the first and so you have remedies other than Panadol to use that are effective, gentle and will strengthen your immune system for now and into the future.
Learn simple tricks of the trade so you can save time and energy and allow your GP more time to see the patients who really need their help.
Come along, bring a friend, and be empowered to look after your family naturally with herbal remedies, homeopathics, massage techniques and more.
Tania Grasseschi is an Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbal Medicine practitioner specialising in Women's and Children's health with over 10 years experience in Oriental Medicine. She has also taught Shiatsu and Oriental Health Science and teaches Infant Massage Classes to new parents and carers.
Her primary focus is to support you to achieve and maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle and to restore your inner harmony over a course of treatments.
Tania draws upon ancient oriental wisdom to incorporate many of the limbs of Classical Chinese Medicine in the course of her treatments. In this way the subtle balance in the energy of your body, mind and spirit can be restored, thereby treating and preventing a wide-range of disorders, emotional and physical, in both adults and children.
By understanding your condition and becoming actively involved in your own healing path you gain a level of self-empowerment that you can draw upon for the rest of your life.

Fertility, Pregnancy and Postnatal Support
Healthy couples produce healthy babies and you deserve to start your family in the best possible hands.
Preconception care using Oriental Medicine can normalise menstrual irregularity in women and improve male reproductive function. The success rates of IVF can be greatly increased using researched Acupuncture protocols before and after embryo transfer as well as during the whole IVF cycle.
Clients have found that acupuncture during pregnancy offers drug free relief for many conditions including morning sickness, heartburn, colds and flu, oedema, sciatica and back pain.
Pre-birth acupuncture is a series of treatments starting at 36 weeks to prepare you for labour often resulting in a shorter, less stressful and more natural childbirth. Treatments can also turn breach and posterior babies and induce labour when your baby is overdue.
Postnatal support treats conditions such as perineal discomfort, breast-feeding problems (insufficient lactation, mastitis) and minor postnatal depression.
In addition acupuncture is excellent for helping you to restore the energy you expend in your new role as a parent.
Childrens Health
Tired of baby and toddler blues, battling earache, coughs and colds, runny noses, tummy upsets or bowel irregularities, teething problems, sleep problems, asthma or eczema? Tania uses specially modified pain free acupuncture and acupressure techniques and offers safe herbs and dietary advice to put your children's health and wellbeing back in your hands. These treatments boost immunity, provide relief and avoid the overuse of antibiotics. Children respond quickly and well to these treatments.
Stress Management
Exams, deadlines, finances, and relationships - everywhere you turn it seems you or your children are being called to action. Studies have shown that stress can suppress your immune system and challenging times can result in anxiety and sleep disturbances, digestive upset, headaches and more. Oriental Medicine can revitalise your energy, boost your immunity and greatly improve your quality of life. Tania has had great success with her acupuncture treatment protocols in helping her clients move on and move forward when going through challenges such as grief and divorce.
Esoteric Acupuncture
Esoteric Acupuncture is a form of acupuncture that emphasises the maintenance of wellness by harmonising and strengthening your energy systems before you become ill. It has been developed to address the complex imbalances that occur at the spiritual and emotional levels in order to heal at the physical level. In clinic Tania focuses on using Esoteric Acupuncture to harmonise and balance your energy centres known as Chakras. Her clients find these treatments excellent for treating anxiety, depression and other emotional imbalances. It can also deep your meditation and help you better tune into yourself.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile, single use needles into your skin, at specific points on your body, for the purpose of treating various disorders. Your body is permeated and surrounded by fields of energy. The meridians or "energy channels" of oriental medicine are intimately related to these energy fields. The insertion of needles stimulates your energy at these points thus restoring and regulating the natural flow of energy (qi) through your meridians. This promotes optimal health within your body. Each point has a unique location, specific needling instructions based on depth of needling and angle of insertion, particular actions and indications as well as special combinations to enhance its effect.
Tania's consultation with you will involve an inquiry into all your signs and symptoms, additional to your primary complaint, including your preferences or aversions to cold and heat, concerns around night sweats or excessive sweating, problems with pain, appetite and digestion, levels of thirst, dietary preferences, toilet habits, sleep patterns and energy levels, menstrual issues for women, and exercise regimes. In addition, by observing your body in general and your tongue in particular as well as feeling your pulses and certain meridians on your body Tania can then diagnose both your constitution and your current condition so that an appropriate course of treatment can be discussed and implemented.
It is important to note that everyone responds differently to treatment and so it is often difficult to be specific about how many treatments are required. A good rule of thumb is that the more chronic a problem the longer the course of treatments, the more serious the condition the more frequent the course should be. Additionally, acupuncture is as much a system of prevention as cure and so regular treatments, be they monthly or seasonally, are sometimes recommended for maintenance of your overall well being.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is used in conjunction with acupuncture to: - Support and nourish your body by replenishing those aspects that are tired or weak;
- Clear disease pathogens such as viruses and bacteria;
- Restore your bowel function with laxative herbs;
- Harmonise or regulate the functions of your different organ systems;
- Warm you from the inside or cool you down;
- Reduce accumulations and stagnations.
Tania has a dispensary of approximately 200 individual Chinese Herbal granules that she uses to create formulae specifically tailored to your individual condition and that are easily modified as your condition changes and improves. These formulae are effective, non addictive and are easy and convenient to use for both adults and children. For acute conditions the herbs may be taken three or more times per day for up to one week, more chronic conditions may require the herbs to be taken twice per day for a longer period.
Food is a more gentle form of medicine than herbal supplements but can still greatly influence the progress of your treatment. Improper eating habits can worsen your condition, however, with so many conflicting ideas about what constitutes a healthy diet it is often easy to become confused about what you should or shouldn't eat. Tania offers Whole Food Counselling and Dietary Advice based upon Chinese Medicine's understanding of the nature of food (warming and cooling foods, moistening and drying foods, etc) and its application to your constitution and current condition.
Infant Massage
Baby Massage is a wonderfully beneficial technique that every new parent should know. As a mother of two Tania has first hand experience of the benefits of Infant Massage and so teaches new parents a form of massage that is suitable for babies ranging from 6 weeks to 6 months of age. It is an easy to learn technique, steeped in ancient wisdoms, that focuses on formalising your inherent nurturing skills and can be specially designed for individual babies' needs or adapted to older children. Infant Massage improves your baby's sleep patterns by soothing their nervous system; relieves colic and constipation by toning your baby's intestinal system; aids positive non-verbal communication skills between you and your baby, thereby building bonds, teaching trust and developing behavioural understanding; enhances the tactile expression of your love, thereby increasing your confidence as a parent. Infant Massage is proven to be most beneficial to all babies including Special Needs and Premature babies.
