I have been practicing natural medicine since 1995 and use acupuncture, massage, Chinese herbs, exercise, diet and lifestyle advice to create a holistic framework for health rejuvenation and maintenance.

Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the whole picture so underlying causes can be addressed and longer-term results are more likely to be achieved.

We all have times when we are not running at full capacity and may need some help to get back on track. The difficulty for many people is acknowledging this in the first place and then taking steps to deal with it.  I enjoy helping my clients with that process.

To address the condition effectively, periods of extended treatment may be necessary.  It is important to be patient as the condition may have occurred or existed over a long period of time.  Consequently, more than just one treatment might be needed.

  Private health fund rebates for acupuncture, Chinese herbs and massage depending on the level of cover held.

Member Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association.

I am an acupuncturist, herbalist, Reiki master and shiatsu massage practitioner from California, and am fully qualified to practice in Australia. 

I hold a Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the USA.  This means I have extensive studies in acupuncture, Chinese herbalism and nutrition. This includes vast hours of clinical supervision, providing me with a depth of knowledge greater than many Australian practitioners.

Being a Reiki Master, I also offer the ancient Japanese art of energetic healing. 

My areas of specialty include:

•    stress & adrenal fatigue 

•    digestive disorders including:
      reflux, ulcer, IBS, constipation and diarrhoea

•    insomnia and anxiety

I combine the sacred art of these modalities in the sanctuary of Evolve Natural Medicine to heal the mind, body and spirit.

Bachelor Of Acupuncture, Grad Dip Chinese Herbs,
Post Grad Dip. Clinical Nutrition.
Member Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA)

My practice in natural healing spans more than 25 years. Modalities include: acupuncture and Chinese herbs, massage, nutrition and lifestyle advice.

My goal is to alleviate pain, tension and discomforts in the short term, whilst treating and directing my patients towards gaining and sustaining optimal health and fitness in the long term.

Chronic symptoms and disease states require an initial period of concentrated treatments, to ‘turn the tide’ as it were. Then one’s progress is ensured by maintenance treatments. This way we maintain vigilance over the ageing process, emotional and mental overload, recreational habits and all types of stress in daily life.

My specialties include:

•    stress-induced illness
•    depression and anxiety
•    digestive disorders
•    painful conditions (e.g., headaches, muscular
      tensions, PMS, etc.)

Health Fund Rebates available for acupuncture treatments.

I began my practice based in oriental massage eight years ago and, through this, found a passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine. From here I continued studying in Australia and China. I utilise all facets of the TCM system including: massage, cupping, moxibustion, acupuncture and herbal medicine.

I have great enthusiasm for Chinese medicine because it’s more of a preventative health system rather than just treating present symptoms. If you are looking for a way to maintain your health, I can offer treatments that can aid the process. 

Some people are apprehensive about getting needled - I have worked hard on learning gentle techniques!

In a world where health practitioners are generally so busy, I look forward to spending time with my clients really listening to their concerns. Together we can work out a plan for your health to move in a positive direction. 

My areas of special interest include:

•    women’s health: pre and post labour care, menopause
•    infertility
•    muscular skeletal problems
•    migrane
•    stress management
