Chris Fehres
Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture)
Registration # CMR0002016769
Registration Type: Acupuncturist, General


Chris Fehres is a recent graduate acupuncturist of Endeavour College of Natural Health in Brisbane. Following a decade-long career of travelling the world as a professional musician, Chris returned home to follow his passion for healing and helping people through natural medicine.

He has spent a great deal of his student clinic hours focusing on treating psycho-emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety, as well as addiction management, and has experience working as a patient minder at Jost Sauer’s Urban Drug Rehab clinic in Paddington.

As well as having a comprehensive understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chris also incorporates his knowledge of shamanism, energy healing, and dream interpretation into his treatments in order to provide the most effective outcome for the patient. With a long-standing history as a martial artist, Chris is an instructor of Chen style Tai Qi, which also incorporates the core principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine into a moving, physical form.

Chris believes that many illnesses can be traced back to an emotional imbalance, which then manifests itself in various ways through the physical body. His treatments therefore aim to determine and heal the root of this imbalance in order to regain optimum health and well-being.
