Welcome to
Somerville Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine
He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything.
Good health is so much more than the absence of disease and illness. It is a sense of joy, fulfillment and an appreciation of living.
Achieving good health is entirely our own responsibility. Our dream at Somerville Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine is to help you understand your own weaknesses and imbalances.
As a patient, you will be assured of our protection, care and guidance, as we take the time to focus solely on you. We will work together to achieve the best possible results for your health and wellbeing.
Traditionally, Chinese Medicine recognizes that health problems are not isolated and are part of a bigger picture. It’s a picture that includes the physical, emotional and spiritual level of each individual. Disharmony at any of these three levels will cause an imbalance that leads to illness.
As part of the core practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we look beyond the obvious and delve into the unseen factors or influences affecting your health.
We are trained to feel other people’s pain, and to understand the individual and differing patterns to each person’s illness.
From this understanding, great results for the patient are achieved.

Damian Somerville
B. Ed (ACU), Dip. Reflexology (Nature Care College), Ad Dip. Traditional Chinese Medicine (Sydney Institute Traditional Chinese Medicine).
Damian has 15 years experience working with people with mental health problems and people with physical disabilities.
In addition to his 4 year advanced diploma, Damian has trained for 2 years under the guidance of Dr Anna Guo as a private student in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr Guo has 40 years experience in Chinese herbal medicine in China and Sydney. Her main focus is on gastrointestinal problems and she also treats many other illnesses using Chinese herbs.
Damian has a keen interest in emotional illness including anxiety, stress and depression from his years of experience working and studying in this area. He has gained experience in pain management through his extra work and study with Dr Guo.
Damian became interested in Chinese Medicine as a result of glandular fever and spent 6 weeks in bed. There was no treatment from western medicine, and the advice from the GP was to rest and take it easy.
During this time he found out through a friend that Chinese herbs could help and so he went to China town in Sydney for a diagnosis. After one week of taking the herbs the hot sweats he had for six weeks had stopped and the energy came back. After two weeks he was well enough to go back to work. He then enrolled in an advanced diploma of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the rest is history.
Damian is registered with major health funds and is a long standing member with the ATMS.
Claire Somerville

Claire has over 10 years of massage experience working with the physical and emotional body. She has worked with a number of NRL teams including State of Origin over the years as well as NSW cricketers and AFL umpires.
Claire was working in a corporate environment but knew that she wanted to get out and try something different, as working for a large corporation was not the right path for her. Claire found a passion for massage and other therapies that help to release stress and pain for her patients.
Claire is registered with all major health funds and is a long standing member with the ATMS.
