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 practit

ioner 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:

Exhausted? Mental Fog? Poor appetite? Pale?

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

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

Menstrual irregularities
Gynaecological conditions
Absent periods
Fatigue
Insomnia
Pale skin tone
Pale gums
Palpitations
Dizziness upon standing
Floaters in your eyes

This week is National Diabetes Week 13-19 July 2025

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach the treatment of dis-ease by supporting and resolving imbalances in the body.

We will, in most cases refer to dis-ease or imbalance by different names to Western Medicine although they are the same presentation.

In clinic at a patient presenting with Diabetes, would be demonstrating the signs of a TCM diagnosis of Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome (keeping in mind that every different patient will have variances that are unique to their experience of any imbalance).

My recommendation would be for Traditional Chinese Medicine care and support to be provided alongside continued use of insulin and care from the patients Diabetes specialist.

Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome is typically a deficiency of Yin in the body impacted further by the presence of a heat pathogen. A constitutional Yin deficiency is common in people with Wasting-Thirst Syndrome however this deficiency may also be something that develops slowly over time.

Treatment of Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome is usually focused around nourishing the Yin and clearing the heat along with resolving any other imbalances unique to the individual patient. It is extremely common in the case of Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome for many imbalances to be in play at the same time and many treatment strategies to be involved.

You can read more information about Diabetes and the role Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine can play in supporting you alongside Western Medical treatment in our blog link within my story. If you’d like to arrange an appointment please call us on (03)59061494

Couples who are trying to conceive in 2025… What support have you included to support the MALE reproductive health?

I ask this because I’m going to guess that it’s highly likely you are doing the following:
* A women’s pre conception multivitamin
* Likely several women’s health focused GP appointments & specialist appointments
* Maybe a women’s health naturopath
* Hopefully an acupuncturist…

But what is being done to investigate and boost the health of the other 50% of your baby making equation?

1 in 6 Australian couples are experiencing infertility and of these up to 45% of them has male infertility as a contributing factor.

Often the point at which I meet couples who are seeking alternative fertility support is after many years, much expense, great emotional strain and countless invasive procedures and a focus solely placed on the female partner.

Male Fertility support is often overlooked but absolutely essential. There are many factors that can impact men’s reproductive health and on the flip side much improvement can be made in a short few months by implementing lifestyle changes, making dietary adjustments and balancing acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine treatments.

Did you know the World Health Organisation reference ranges for acceptable s***m morphology is 4% (this means 4 out of every 100 s***m are the right size and shape and 96 are not...) This reference range is also why so many couples are told that “the s***m is fine”.

For us at we know for optimal chance of success the numbers we want to see land between 15% and 50% - for obvious reasons!

If you’d like to learn more about how we can help with fertility support at please get in touch (03)59061494.

So happy to have these beauties back on the shelf at and they are right on time!

I love custom made heat packs because it’s such an easy way for patients to use heat therapy in between their appointments.

The use of heat therapy is especially important in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In many cases the cause of pain or imbalance in our systems is due to slow moving or stagnant Qi. Warmth increases circulation and blood flow and as such moves our Qi.

By applying warmth to an injured or painful area we encourage an increase of circulation in local blood vessels and tissues.

By doing this we not only promote healing but also move old blood and damaged material that is being held in the area away.

If you want to read about the other ways I use Heat Therapy to assist in healing in the clinic check out my blog Healing with Heat, I’ll put an easy link in my story.

Fancy one of these heat packs? Get in touch or drop in - I’m sure in this weather they will move fast!
