SERVICES
I am a highly experienced, University qualified Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist, with a Bachelor of Health Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine, from the University of Technology Sydney. I have also trained with one of the top acupuncturists in Australia, Ross Penman.
Why is this important? When it comes to your health, you want to know you are in the best hands. My study has not only allowed me to gain an in depth understanding Chinese Medicine, but I have comprehensive knowledge of biomedicine.
You also want to understand your body, your health and how treatment will help you. Chinese Medicine is based in a language of broad, energetic and philosophical concepts. This is often a new language and way of looking at your health and wellbeing. I try a much as possible to explain these concepts and where relevant relate them to a language that is more familiar, such as a biomedical framework.
I am an accredited member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA) and recognised by private health funds.
HOW I CAN HELP YOU
I am particularly passionate about the following areas
Fertility and Conception, & IVF support
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can support both male and female fertility by -
• Ensuring proper circulation of qi and blood, with organs nourished and meridians balanced.
• Addressing all other aspects of health and well being that could be having an impact, such as stress, diet and emotional issues.
This has effects on the production and function of sperm in males, and the endocrine and hormonal balance in females.

Acupuncture and Pregnancy support
During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a dynamic time of growth and change for the mother and baby. Acupuncture offers drug free treatment for a range of conditions that can arise during this time, including ;
Nausea and vomiting, Heartburn, Constipation, Urinary tract infections, Musculoskeletal conditions, Fatigue and exhaustion, Anaemia, Insomnia, Anxiety and depression, Sinusitis, Pregnancy-induced hypertension, and Oedema.
Preparing for Birth
From about 36 weeks, acupuncture can be used to ripen the cervix, ensure the baby is in the best presentation and that the mother has the energy and stamina for the labour process.
During Labour
Acupressure can be useful for pain relief during labour.
Postpartum recovery
Acupuncture can assist a speedy recovery from the birthing process, supporting the mother through this next stage of being a parent, at optimal health.
Depression and Anxiety
Part of the beauty of Chinese Medicine is that it looks at the body holisitically, aiming to achieve physical, emotional and spiritual balance and vitality. Acupuncture in particular offers gentle and yet effective treatment to support people through periods of anxiety and depression. It is also a very safe complementary therapy for anyone on medication for these issues too.
