About
My Story ...
My interest and passion in health Natural Medicines and Traditional Chinese Medicine developed while I studied martial arts in my high school years. After graduating from school I continued my journey by studying Chinese Medicine and Naturopathy which followed with post graduate studies with the Zhejiang Research Institute and based at the Red Cross Hospital in Hangzhou China. I was totally immersed in the lifestyle of treating patients as well as embracing the Chinese culture.
Returning to Australia, I started my practice in Brisbane and was fortunate to be able to lecture and tutor students imparting my clinical experience and knowledge.
After moving back to Sydney I practiced for 28 years in Bondi Beach. I treated a varied myriad of health issues as well as personalities. I am always trying to find the best treatment for patients as it is “not one size fits all”.
During this time, I lectured and was on the board of the Sydney College of Traditional Medicine.
I was privileged to be the President of the AACMA (Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association) as well as serving as member of various committees. Being a consultant for the Health Department and Education Department provided an insight to other aspects of the health industry.
Health is not just something I have studied. It is something that my family and I embrace.
From my vast experience and continued research into health, I am only too happy to help and assist you in your health journey.
