I am a natural problem solver, and methodical in my approach. My original training and qualifications in Engineering, means I’m solution focussed.
In the early nineties, I qualified as a health practitioner and trained in Australia (UTS) and China (Beijing University CM).
I have been in private practice since 2004.
Over time, I have found the contemporary Taiwanese style of Dr Tan’s, Si Yuan Balance Method and Tung's style of acupuncture excellent for pain rehabilitation, management and resolution. With experience and training, the deep capacity to 'hear' the muscular and nervous tension of the body, then modulate pressure, technique and dosage accordingly for optimal benefit is part of the art of this science.

My approach is systematic, gentle and individually tailored. I have been in practice since 2009 and have worked in a range of clinical settings using acupuncture for women’s health, pregnancy and IVF support, D&A rehab, and mental health and emotional support.
In the early years I was interested in acupuncture research and worked under RCT (randomised control trial) conditions, as well as an assistant for health literacy and other medical research. My real love though is working with people and my focus for the past decade has been clinical excellence.
Through the years I have developed a strongly trauma informed practice (TIP) and have a deep respect for the healing power of the therapeutic alliance.
Each body expresses a narrative of resilience and incapacity. Difficult or painful experiences can manifest with a range of symptoms and disrupt our equilibrium. Sometimes we want and need to talk, but when we don’t want to talk or we don’t have the language we still want to discharge or integrate the effects of painful experience in a healthy, beneficial way.
I have found that essential oils in combination with acupuncture work beautifully and gently to access and reframe the interplay of the emotional burdens held within the physical body.
Since 1989, I have lived with a chronic post viral syndrome, which is in part how I came to this medicine (for self treatment), then in 2019 I was diagnosed with endometriosis (severe). Since then I have become particularly interested in the role of inflammation in the the body and pain management and how acupuncture and essential oils can assist in the journey back to well-being.
