Endometriosis is a whole body disease. Suffering from Endometriosis Stage 4 and Adenomyosis and treating thousands of women in clinic with Endo & Adeno, I've created a specific endometriosis treatment.

When the body has experienced pain month after month, the tissues remember. The nerves brace. The pelvis contracts. The body prepares for pain “Danger" before your bleed has even begun. This is your body in survival and protection.

At Angea, we don’t just treat symptoms. we teach the body that it is safe again.
Through the sacrum, the coccyx, L4–L5, the Liver and the Kidneys, we soften the fear stored in the tissues.
We bring warmth with moxa.
We create space where there was once contraction.
We remind the womb how to breathe.

At Angea, we work with the sacral plexus (your base chakra), L4–L5, the sacrum and coccyx, gently releasing the tension so the tissues can soften and breathe again. We use moxa, back shu spinal points, and specific Liver and Kidney points to calm fear stored in your body & tissues , we restore flow, and retrain the pain pathway.

When the nervous system feels safe, healing becomes possible.

This is how we change the pain pattern not just manage it.

Save this if you experience period pain

Acupuncture for Hormones
This isn’t woo. This is your physiology! And we've got the research

If you’ve ever been told your period pain is “normal”…
If you don’t ovulate regularly…
If your stress feels trapped in your body…
If your cycle is unpredictable…
This is for you.

Research shows acupuncture can:

• Reduce the intensity of period pain by lowering prostaglandins and activating natural endorphins
(Armour et al., 2019, Cochrane Review)

• Improve ovulatory patterns in anovulation and PCOS by regulating the brain–ovary hormonal pathway
(Stener-Victorin et al., 2009, Human Reproduction)

• Lower cortisol and stress hormones, shifting the body out of fight or flight
(Zhou et al., 2015, Journal of Endocrinology)

• Improve uterine and ovarian blood flow, supporting ovarian function and implantation
(Stener-Victorin et al., 1996–2011, Fertility & Sterility)

• Increase insulin sensitivity and improve metabolic markers in PCOS
(Jo et al., 2017, PLoS One)

• Initiate the relaxation response via parasympathetic nervous system activation
(Napadow et al., 2013, Human Brain Mapping)
• Improve menstrual cycle regularity over time
(Johansson et al., 2013, American Journal of Physiology – Endocrinology)

From your first bleed to perimenopause and beyond, acupuncture works to support your nervous system, hormones, circulation and stress chemistry! She's the bomb!

Did you know pregnancy symptoms and period symptoms are almost identical?
Breast tenderness.
Bloating.
Cravings.
Mood shifts.
Fatigue.
Pelvic heaviness.

So many women think, “Am I pregnant… or is my period coming?”
And here’s the wild truth:

We're not meant to know.

After ovulation, your hormones prepare for pregnancy every single month, whether conception has occurred or aunt flow is on her way.
Progesterone rises, digestion slows, temperature shifts, your womb builds a home…
All the early pregnancy signs can also PMS signs (mind games) 🤯

From an evolutionary perspective, early pregnancy is meant the great mystery, a protected window where the body whispers, and doesn't fully reveal - until it's confirmed on the p*e sticks or blood test.

In Chinese Medicine, we call this the Great Mystery a the liminal space where potential becomes manifestation.

So if you’ve ever felt confused by your symptoms, you’re not alone.
Your body isn’t tricking you, it's just evolution didn't separate pregnancy from period 🤯.

The first trimester is wild, isn’t it?
One minute you’re fine… the next minute only hot chips, toast and crackers feel safe.
And here’s the truth: there is a biological reason you crave carbohydrates.

From the moment of conception, the “big bang” where s***m meets egg, a whole universe begins inside you. Your zygote becomes a 16 cell morula… and within days, an embryo is organising organs, limbs, tissue layers and DNA expression.

During this rapid growth phase, glucose provides up to 75 percent of your baby’s energy needs.
Yes, seventy five percent.

So please don’t feel guilty if you can’t face salads or “clean eating” right now.
Your body is doing the biggest job of your life.

Carbohydrates support:
• Foetal growth and structural development
• Maternal and foetal organ formation
• DNA synthesis
• Healthy glucose homeostasis
• Your energy and survival in the hardest trimester

Focus on what you can eat and stomach!
And if you need the hot chips… eat the hot chips.

You're growing a little human.
Your body knows exactly what it’s doing.

Is it only my Doctor?

Things my doctor never told me about my fertility 👇

1️⃣ Low progesterone can cause short luteal phases + early spotting, making implantation difficult.
2️⃣ A TSH above 2.5 (even “normal”) can increase miscarriage risk.
3️⃣ Thyroid antibodies may indicate Hashimoto’s or Graves’ both linked with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss.
4️⃣ Low iron affects egg quality, oxygenation, and implantation.
5️⃣ Low ferritin can point to gluten sensitivity or chronic inflammation.
6️⃣ Egg quality isn’t fixed, it can improve in 90 days.
7️⃣ You don’t need to wait 12 months before investigating. Early testing = early answers.

Fertility is not luck!
When you learn to read the signs, you step back into your power. At Angea we help you understand your fertility!

Your hormones are the messengers for your reproductive, gynaecological and menstrual health!
When they fall out of rhythm, your body starts whispering through symptoms.
Those whispers are not random… they’re invitations to listen deeper ✨

To help you understand what your symptoms are trying to tell you about your fertility ~ let's decode!

Hi everyone, I’m Dr. Chantel Spiteri of TCM

About 25 years ago, I felt a deep calling to do something more meaningful, to help others heal. I had been seeing an acupuncturist for years and was always amazed at how grounded, nurtured, and balanced I felt after each treatment. I often wondered how those fine, delicate needles could create such a profound shift within me.

That curiosity sparked a journey, one of learning, transformation, and self-discovery. As I immersed myself in the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, I also awakened a part of myself I hadn’t yet nurtured: the spiritual, intuitive, and heart-centered side that felt like the missing piece of who I truly am. I’m living my purpose.

In my practice, I weave together the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine and the gentle, healing spiritual energy of Reiki. Together, these therapies deepen relaxation, restore inner peace, balance and nurture both body and spirit. My intention is always to help you feel more connected to your body, your energy, and your inner calm; so you feel anchored, supported, and empowered on your journey.

I work with both women and men on their fertility journeys; supporting natural conception as well as assisted fertility cycles such as IVF, IUI, ovulation induction cycles, and egg-freezing preparation. Balancing,nurturing and supporting women throughout pregnancy, including labour induction and postnatal recovery.

Beyond fertility, I treat conditions such as Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, PCOS, menstrual irregularities, perimenopause to menopause transitions, as well as anxiety, insomnia, stress, digestive issues, inflammation, pain, and immunity support; helping to restore strength and vitality at every stage of life.

This work truly fills my heart. I am endlessly grateful to walk beside my patients on their healing journeys; to nurture, support, and witness them as they find balance, create life, and blossom into their fullest selves ❤️🌟🙏

Thank you Amanda my soul sister & the incredible team at Angea😇❤️

Hi, my name is Scarlett, .tcm and I’m honoured to be one of the practitioners at Angea Acupuncture.

A little bit about me and where I’ve come from: I grew up as an elite artistic gymnast in Melbourne, training up to 32 hours a week at the High Performance Centre, VIS and AIS. That experience shaped so much of who I am today. It instilled in me a strong sense of discipline, drive, and a deep understanding of what both the body and mind can endure.

Throughout my gymnastics career, I experienced countless injuries, including stress fractures in my lower back, hamstring tears, sprains, and general disharmony. Beyond the physical strain, I also navigated emotional stress, body image challenges, and the heavy expectations of performance. Although it was a demanding time, I hold no regrets. It gave me profound insight into the body’s resilience and a deep appreciation for the emotional and spiritual layers that influence physical wellbeing.

During those years, I was regularly supported by physiotherapists and massage therapists - women I deeply admired for their ability to nurture and restore. Their care inspired me to pursue a hands on path in the healing and wellbeing field.

As I grew into adulthood, I discovered yoga and the importance of spirituality, which deepened my understanding of balance and self-awareness. Wanting to bring together my love for physical health, emotional wellbeing, and spiritual connection, I was drawn to study Chinese Medicine, a holistic practice that recognises the body, mind, and spirit as one.

As a practitioner, I specialise in musculoskeletal conditions, pain management, emotional wellbeing, digestive health, and women’s health, including menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, and pain in pregnancy.

My approach is grounded, compassionate, and intuitive, supporting each patient to reconnect with their body’s natural rhythms and innate capacity to heal.

I feel incredibly grateful to be part of the nurturing and empowering space that is Angea, surrounded by women who continue to inspire, educate, and heal through this beautiful ancient medicine.

We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Dr Scarlett to the Angea Family! ❤️
