I am a registered Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbal Medicine Practitioner. I practice from two multi-modality clinics in Melbourne – Ferguson Street Chiropractic and Natural Therapies in Williamstown and Qi Medicine in Moonee Ponds.
Graduating from Victoria University in 2008, I completed my clinical internship in Shanghai China. There, I spent time in the Acupuncture, Gynecology, Internal Medicine and Oncology departments.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) forms a holistic health care model that incorporates Acupuncture and other traditional modalities. It has been practiced for thousands of years and focuses on restoring balance and vitality. It looks at the whole person and not just the symptom. I believe it has an important role to play in our modern health care system and can provide a pathway towards better health outcomes.
As a registered Chinese Medicine practitioner, I utilise Acupuncture, Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxibustion, Chinese Herbal Medicine (pills, liniments and granulated herbs) and Chinese Medicine dietary therapy and lifestyle advice (Yang Sheng) in clinic.
I see a wide variety of health care concerns including: post viral syndrome, chronic pain, hay fever, migraines, digestive issues, skin conditions and fertility/pregnancy support.
I also provide Acupuncture as a supportive treatment for those embarking on IVF. I offer flexibility around timings of treatments to suit a patient’s needs. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine have a long established history as a support treatment for natural fertility, IVF and in addressing some of the symptoms that may arise during pregnancy.
