Pharmacist, Herbalist and Acupuncturist
I work as a pharmacist but I also have completed further training in Chinese medicine as an acupuncturist and herbalist. I’m able to offer a unique insight into your current health problems as I look at it through the lens of western medicine but also Chinese medicine.
I have gained experience working in the community for the past 10 years, over that time I’ve studied various forms of naturopathic healing to help patients who were looking for more answers to their health concerns, not just pharmaceutical medication. It led me on a path to studying Chinese medicine. I've found it to be the most profound method of treatment and diagnosis.
I have specialised further doing additional training in gynecology so my special interest is women’s health, hormones fertility and endometriosis.
As a Chinese medicine practitioner my intent is to treat the mind-body-soul as a whole. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can be used to bring the body back into balance when living in the stresses of the modern world takes us out of alignment.
treatments
In Chinese herbal medicine, herbs, plants, minerals and flowers are used to nourish the body and bring it back to balance.
Herbs have a particular temperature, taste and organ affinity. So if there is an imbalance in the body the herbs can be used to tonify and nourish that organ system. Or if there is an obstruction in the way, the herbs can be used to remove
the blockage.
Herbal medicine is one of the most powerful ways to bring the body back into balance and clear pathways for healing.
Chinese medicine sees each person as an individual so treatments are very personalised which is in direct contrast to Western Medicine giving one pill for each condition.
It treats the mind-body-soul. Your body has everything it needs to heal, herbal medicine helps to unblock certain pathways and bring balance for healing.
You are seen as an active participant in your
healing journey, together a plan is made to bring you and your life back into balance.
Making Chinese medicine more accessible you can visit my online clinic with virtual consultations, assessments and treatments from the comfort of your own home.
Assessments are made through collecting information from questionnaires, blood test results, tongue photographs and past medical history. From here a Chinese herbal medication prescription will be posted directly to you.
