Our Story
In 2010 I graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor Applied Science majoring in Chinese Medicine/Human Biology. In 2011 I completed an Advanced certificate of 5 Element Acupuncture*, and in 2012 I completed a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Adelaide University.
Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese art of inserting small needles into specific locations on the body. Acupuncture works on the functional aspects of the body; using the neural system, activating the immune, blood and lymphatic system, and as a flow on, activating the endocrine system, it can instigate change in the running of the body.
Research has shown Acupuncture to:
1. Boost immunity by increasing white blood cell count
2. Calm the nerves, and relax musculature
3. Regulate Hormones - especially stress and reproductive hormones
4. Reduce Inflammation
5. Reduce pain by dampening the brain's response to pain, as well as reducing pain at the source.
I have seen my clients time and time again completely relax and re-centre during their treatments. I am also a fully qualified Chinese Herbalist, and I often will supplement my Acupuncture treatments with herbal medicine, either in raw form, or pills.
I want your treatments with me to be relaxing and enjoyable, and your experience of Chinese medicine to be educational. I want you to find out about your body's wonderful strength and ability to be well!
All the best in your health and happiness,
Eryn
