About

My interest in Chinese Medicine began many years ago when I found the great benefits of acupuncture in treating my own health concerns and seeing results of others close to me. Realising for myself that by using this age-old medicine it enables/activates your own body’s innate ability to heal itself. When the body is in imbalance causing you pain or discomfort, my main priority as a practitioner is to get you back to being pain free or relieving your discomfort, whatever that may be. I understand that restoring your health will get you back to doing the everyday things that you enjoy most. In diagnosing and treating your condition I will use my knowledge and the appropriate methods which will be most effective for your presenting condition, allowing your body to reclaim its balance and recover from the disharmony in which it finds itself. My philosophy is to always create a relationship within a supportive and safe environment for my patients, where we can both work on getting the greatest benefits and lasting results for you. An individual and tailored treatment plan will be established unique to your individual condition. I hope that I can be of service to you in the near future. Special interests:

A few weeks ago I had the awesome experience of a day out picking and processing Pine Pollen.

Pine Pollen in Chinese medicine works as a Tonic for: Lung, Kidney, Liver, Heart and Spleen.

The most known benefits in Traditional Chinese Medicine are:

Tonify Lung Qi
Dispel Wind-Dampness and Alleviate Pain
Replenish Yuan Qi and Alleviate Fatigue
Strengthen Wei Qi and Regulate the Immune System
Nourish the Lung for Skin Health
Shen Tonic to Promote Heart Health and Emotional Stability
Support Spleen and Stomach Qi for Digestive Health
Calm the Shen and Support Cognitive Function
Nourish Kidney Qi and Support Prostate Health
Tonify Yuan Qi to Enhance Physical Performance and Motor Skills
Balance Spleen and Stomach to Support Weight Management
Promote Overall Health and Immunity
Jing, Yuan Qi, and Post-Workout Recovery
Jing, Yuan Qi, Anti-Aging, and Longevity

So as you can see it has a multitude of health benefits!

I’m looking forward to using the pine pollen I picked and processed for my own personal health and seeing what changes I notice.

The powder pictured is then mixed into a tincture that is taken as a dropper dose under the tongue.

If you’d like to learn more about Pine Pollen benefits I’ll put a link in my story.

Spring is the season of the Eye.

Connected to the Liver channel, Eye health is of great importance during the coming season. In Traditional Chinese Medicine our eye health is considered a direct result of the strength (or lack there of) of the organ system of the Liver.

When there is imbalances of the Liver Qi such as Liver Heat, Deficiency or Wind we would expect to find that reflected within physical symptoms experienced in the eye.

Common eye health symptoms include:
Dry eyes
Allergies targeting the eyes
Fatigue of the eye
Dark spots / floaters
Vision blurring
Decreased night vision
Yellowing of the eye

Pay attention to your eye health this Spring, consider the rise of screen use in our lives and take intentional break periods from your computer or smart phone screen. Include Liver supporting foods such as fresh leafy greens & sour flavours.

Are you a seasonal sinus and hayfever sufferer?

Why do these seasonal symptoms of swollen nasal passages, chronic itchy eyes and nose, sneezing and respiratory issues strike some but not others?

Our Qi is the vital force that is responsible for life and takes a variety of forms and serves many functions within our body. Deficiency, excess or stagnation of qi = an imbalance that manifests as illness. Get the Spring sniffles? That means your body is out of kilter.

Our Protective Qi (Wei Qi) flows outside the meridians and circulates under the skin and flesh protecting us from external pathogens such as wind, cold, heat and damp. If your Wei Qi is weak so is your external layer of armour.

The good news is that Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine has amazing success balancing out hayfever symptoms. Many of my patients who are chronic or seasonal hayfever sufferers find that acupuncture can be used to not only relieve symptoms but prevent them! Treatments aid in the circulation of qi and to boost that very important Wei Qi. We also have some brilliant herbs (it’s ok they are capsules) that are every Hayfever sufferers best friend.

So stay ahead of the stuffy sinuses and get in touch with us at on (03)59061494 or book online via the link in bio to arrange allergy season treatments today!

I’d like you to introduce you to Trev’s Story.

Did you know 1 Tradie dies every 4 hours to su***de?

Trev’s Story is a charity aimed towards having mental health issues normalised by conducting meetings on building sites - not only to trades, but also to high level management. These meetings are designed to help remove the stigma of mental health, and to encourage the creation of a safe place to talk.

I’d love it if you can check out and get behind this important cause.

In a further incredible feat Trev is going to be raising awareness for mental health by pushing a wheelbarrow from Marysville to Parliament House Canberra. The Great ‘BARRA’ push to Canberra kicks off Sunday 28th of September in Marysville, maybe you’ll even see him along his way!

One of the things I love about Healesville is the access we have to such a wide and skilled range of practitioners.

Achieving the best results for a patient will often require a multidisciplinary approach and the fact that spaces like The Healesville Wellness Factory offer so many modalities under one roof is so helpful.

Today I caught up with the team from Better Exercise Physiology and Pilates Plus who are only one part of the brilliant offerings available from The Healesville Wellness Factory.

Exercise Physiology & Clinical Pilates are wonderful tools when approaching injury recovery and work brilliantly in conjunction with acupuncture.

Other modalities available through The Healesville Wellness Factory include:

Chiropractic Care
Remedial Massage
Psychology
Naturopathy & Dietetics
Yoga

Exhausted? Mental Fog? Poor appetite? Pale?

Blood deficiency in some form is one of the most common patterns affecting our female patients at

Blood has a multitude of important supporting, nourishing, warming and moisturising functions for the body.

When our blood is not nourished and supported it becomes deficient and stagnant.

What does blood deficiency look like?

Menstrual irregularities
Gynaecological conditions
Absent periods
Fatigue
Insomnia
Pale skin tone
Pale gums
Palpitations
Dizziness upon standing
Floaters in your eyes
Cold extremities
Slow healing
Poor immunity
Loss of appetite

If any of these symptoms sound familiar then check out our blog ‘Let’s talk about Women’s Health and Blood Deficiency’ or give us a call on (03)59061494

At we can work with the body and the cycle to move, build, tonify and nourish the blood. We do this using Acupuncture alongside other Chinese Medicine therapies such as moxa.
