While I specialise in reproductive, gynecological and pre and post-natal care, I am experienced and successful in treating many forms of illness and pain in men, women and children.
You’re in good hands.
I am a fully qualified Acupuncturist and a full member of Australia’s peak body of Acupuncturists (AACMA). I graduated from the Australian College of Natural Medicine in Brisbane in 1999 and received my qualification of an Advanced Diploma of Health Science, (Acupuncture). While predominately trained in TCM I have received extensive training in Natural Medicine and counseling through my qualification and due to my commitment to ongoing self education.
As a family man and father of 2 young boys I believe I have some understanding of the pressures of what can be a busy life. I’ve been told that I’m a good listener, but more importantly I hope to understand every person’s situation so I can best work with them to achieve positive outcomes.
You can be assured that a solution for your health concern will be achieved in a timely and cost effective manner. As much as I wish that I could cure every health concern that is presented to me, the reality is that some times it takes more than one therapeutic approach to find the solution. For this reason I have a network of trusted and experienced professionals to refer you to, if required, for the resolution of your health concern.

Want to make a positive difference to the health of your child?
Whether you planning to conceive or already have a child, there are many great ways to achieve the goal of your child growing in a happy and healthy manner. Find out how important nutrition, diet, lifestyle and environment factors are in achieving this important goal.
Preconception Care
The ultimate goal of Preconception care is a healthy, happy baby, problem free pregnancy and birth, great post-birth recovery, baby bonding and breastfeeding. Preconception care is important for couples that want to give their child the best possible start to life. Simply the health of your baby is dependent on the quality of the egg and sperm, which is actually determined during the 3 months prior to conception, (this is the ideal time to improve your health to prevent miscarriage and birth defects) and the mother's health during the early stages of her pregnancy.
Fertility Management
By improving your reproductive health you improve your chances of conceiving and enjoying a healthy pregnancy.
While for you infertility may seem to be your primary problem, actually it is in fact a reflectance of a deeper underlying imbalance. My successful holistic approach can correct many of the imbalances that underlie the complex physical and hormonal disorders that prevent pregnancy. Regular application of specialised therapeutic techniques not only assist you in regulating the menstrual cycle or invigorating the sperm, but they also serve to enhance the function of your whole body. Reproductive health care treatments can be effective in the treatment of the following conditions:
- Luteal Phase Defect
- Male Factor Infertility (except sterility)
- Polycystic Ovaries
- Recurrent Miscarriage
- Tubal Obstruction
- Unexplained Infertility
- Uterine Fibroids
- Advanced Maternal Age
- Amenorrhea
- Anovulation
- Endometriosis
- High FSH Levels
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Immunologic Infertility
My successful approach is to integrate techniques in both Natural medicine and Western medical diagnosis in order to formulate a naturally oriented treatment plan incorporating the techniques of acupuncture, nutritional therapy, herbal medicine with diet and lifestyle advice. My knowledge and skill is drawn from experts in this field from around Australia and the world and my own experience. Where particular fertility issues exist, I work with you both to discover their origins and determine the most effective treatment.
Supporting ART/IVF
Acupuncture is a recommended adjunct therapy to Artificial Reproductive Technologies (ART/IVF) when applied by sufficiently trained therapists. While it is my goal to have you conceive naturally, I recognize, however, that there are couples, which without the use of ART/IVF they would not be able to have a child of their own. For those who are unable to conceive without the use of it is my focus to prepare your body to significantly increase your chance of success. I strongly suggested that couples try my services first before attempting assisted reproductive therapies. Rushing into ART without balancing your body and its hormones is like planting a seed without cultivating the soil.
Acupuncture Treatment in Pregnancy and Childbirth
By addressing your health concerns with safe and effective therapeutic support in your pre-natal and post-natal periods you will enjoy a better pregnancy and time with your baby. It has been my experience that acupuncture has allowed a greater number of women to achieve normal, more natural births and so a more positive birth experience overall.
Acupuncture offers women the choice of drug free treatment and can be successfully used for a wide range of conditions.
| miscarriage | nausea and vomiting |
| heartburn | constipation |
| varicose veins | urinary tract infections |
| musculoskeletal conditions | fatigue and exhaustion |
| anaemia | insomnia |
| anxiety and depression | thrush and abnormal vaginal discharge |
| itching in pregnancy | sinusitis |
| pregnancy-induced hypertension | oedema |
| small for dates babies | breech and posterior positioned babies |
| induction | postpartum recovery |
| acupressure for pain relief during labour | pain relief and problems during labour |
| pre-birth treatment to prepare the body for an efficient labour. |
You may also consider attending a birth workshop/seminar (held at regular intervals) that teaches you and you partner/assistant strategies for a natural birthing experience that also includes acupressure instruction during birth for a reduction in pain and labour time.
Nutrition
The foods you eat, the things you drink can have a dramatic effect on you health and so diet has always been vitally important in Natural medicine. Nutrition involves the use of foods and nutritional supplements to influence health and prevent disease.
Take care of yourself, test your thyroid!
How you produce and distribute energy is complex; thyroid hormone function has a major impact on all of your energy systems. Since the thyroid regulates body temperature, your body's ability to keep you warm and to convert the food you eat into energy (metabolism), ensuring your thyroid is working is vitally important to your ongoing health.
Classic symptoms of low thyroid function, or hypothyroid, include; fatigue, constipation, slow heart rate, dry skin, dry hair, weight gain, depression, headaches, anemia, low libido and abnormal menstrual cycles.
You may be one of the many whose sluggish thyroid problem did not show up on a lab test. This is partly because thyroid lab tests do not accurately measure the activity of thyroid hormone inside cells.
Subclinical hypothyroidism is often missed by medical doctors because they predominantly rely on TSH levels, which may miss secondary and tertiary hypothyroidism.
Subclinical hypothyroidism has been linked with high cholesterol, atrial fibrillation, and osteoporosis which are all important risk factors for heart disease in women.
One of the long standing clinical tests used to diagnose abnormal thyroid dysfunction has been a delayed/slowed Achilles tendon reflex. Prior to 1974, when the TSH blood test became used to screen for low thyroid function doctors used a simple reflex test to diagnose and treat hypothyroidism.
The Thyroflex Test is a specialized device that can assess thyroid function and determine if your thyroid is working effectively and if you are on thyroid medication that you are taking the right dose. The Thyroflex instrument consists of a reflex hammer connected to a computer which measures reflex time in milliseconds. A tendon in the forearm is used instead of the Achilles tendon reflex for easy testing while you're seated comfortably in a chair.
This revealing test can help find answers that will:
- Restore Your The Sleep
- Speed Your Metabolism
- Get Your Sex Drive Back
- Give You Energy To Play With Your Kids
- Provide Enough Energy to Exercise and Do Physical Activities Again
- Get Your Weight Under Control
Acupuncture and TCM, a truly holistic health care
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a number of supporting and inter-promoting holistic therapeutic practices such as Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping and Herbal medicine, developed by the Chinese over thousands of years for the treatment and prevention of disease. The TCM system is as ancient and effective as any other medical techniques used in the world today. In fact, the World Health Organisation recognises acupuncture as effective in the treatment of more than 300 diseases.
There is an ever increasing percentage of the world's population that now uses acupuncture and herbs as their main form of health care. Although acupuncture has been used in England, France, and Germany for few hundred years, only in the past three decades has TCM and acupuncture been more widely recognised in Australia.
TCM approaches disease differently from how it is approached in the West. TCM is based upon the treatment of you as a whole person and the underlying cause of your symptoms rather than solely focusing on the band-aid affect of treating just your symptoms.
In TCM everything about your physical and emotional condition as well as your past health is important in understanding and identifying your underlying pattern of imbalance, so an appropriate treatment approach can be devised to return your body to a state of balance and reverse the disease process. This is why TCM is recognized as being holistic and every thing about you is vitally important for effective treatment.
The TCM system is founded upon the holistic concept that the body is basically a self-repairing mechanism that always strives to maintain its own unique balance. The sages of ancient China encountered already at prehistoric times the problems of mortality and sickness and over thousands of years of research, extensive testing and unceasing observation of the human body, the core essence of TCM was formed to prolong life and enhance health. Written texts dating back thousands of years show the philosophy and medical theories that explain the functioning of the body and provide the framework for diagnosis as well as detailing the methods and techniques for treatment of disease.
The use of Acupuncture and herbal formulas stimulate the flow of intrinsic energy, Chi, in the body which, in turn, enhances health and benefits organ function.
Acupuncture is the gentle stimulation of specific points on the body to restore the flow of Chi, to bring about balance, well being, deep relaxation and to correct health problems. I uses hair-fine needles that are pre-sterilised and single use only which are frequently applied with little or no painful sensation. Acupuncture can be safely used in conjunction with any medication or other form of therapy, as there are very few side effects.
