My path to becoming a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began with my own health challenges. After seeing multiple healthcare providers and finding few answers, I turned, as many do, to TCM as a last resort. What I experienced was profound. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine not only relieved my symptoms, but offered a deeper, more coherent understanding of health that changed the way I related to my body and the world around me.

Driven by curiosity and a long-standing passion for Eastern philosophy, I immersed myself in study, determined to understand the wisdom behind this ancient system. What I discovered is that TCM isn’t mystical. It is a sophisticated, time-tested framework that views the body as an interconnected whole, in dynamic relationship with its environment.

Many of the central tenets of TCM developed from a naturalistic philosophy in which the human organism represents a microcosm of the surrounding environment and the greater universe. It is from this perspective that TCM is uniquely positioned to treat each individual holistically by addressing imbalances in their internal physiological and mental states and helping them adapt to changes in the external environment.

As we are all unique, we require individualised treatment strategies in order to balance our fundamental biological systems to regain and maintain health.
