Acupuncture- Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Ancient texts describe Chinese medicine as a holistic science focused on natural balance.
Chinese medicine encompasses acupuncture, dietary and lifestyle advice, herbal prescriptions, and manual therapies such as Tui Na (massage), cupping and gua sha. It focuses on each individual and how they present, rather than relying on generalised treatment protocols, with an emphasis on prevention.
What this means is that I spend time with you, asking questions about you, your body and your lifestyle. I then develop a treatment specifically for you, with acupuncture, lifestyle and dietary recommendations at the forefront of your care.
Chinese medicine has been practised in China for over 2,000 years and is now widely accessed in Western countries. It is a recognised health profession, and AHPRA regulates practitioners such as myself—the same regulatory body that regulates nurses and doctors in Australia.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses very thin, sterile needles inserted through the skin. The location of these points depends on your health concerns and what we are aiming to achieve through treatment.
Tui Na (Massage)
Traditional Chinese therapeutic massage aimed at working into the joints, muscles and connective tissue. It aims to relieve muscle tension, support mobility and flexibility, and encourage circulation.
Cupping and Gua Sha
Often used in conjunction with Tui Na, both cupping and gua sha aim to move Qi and Blood, supporting circulation.

There are many wonderful ways to move our bodies, and every form of movement does have something to offer. Pilates and yoga, however, invite us to dive deeper than building muscle or increasing our heart rate. Rather than training to do more and push harder, we take a different approach, encouraging a mind-body connection while you move.
Movement
Yoga
An ancient practice stretching back thousands of years, centred around uniting the physical body with mind and spirit. Yoga combines breath, movement and focused awareness to build strength, improve flexibility, and balance body awareness. While people often report physical benefits, yoga also encourages a deeper connection with ourselves and helps regulate stress in everyday life.
Pilates
While an element of this type of movement is still around body awareness, Pilates has more of a focus on precise, controlled movement. These classes will often have a focus on core strength and pelvic floor engagement, and building stability and strength. These focus points are designed to be taken throughout everyday life, aimed at improving functional mobility, posture and balance, helping you to move through life confidently.
Both Pilates and yoga encourage mindful movement, strength and body awareness. While they have different approaches, both offer valuable ways to build a stronger, more connected relationship with your body.
