Always a great joy to work with women and see the deep relaxation that happens in groups. Add yoga 🧘‍♀️ , sunshine ☀️ , the 🏖️ and some whales 🐋 on the horizon and that’s my idea of an awesome start to the day.

It’s a profession. Chinese herbal medicine isn’t something to DIY or source from just anyone working in the health industry.

A qualified TCM practitioner undertakes years of study across pharmacology, human physiology, biochemistry, pathology, materia medica and herbal formula theory — including how herbs can interact with medications and other substances.

Your practitioner considers the individual herbs, the combination of herbs, dosage, contraindications and potential drug interactions before prescribing.

This is why your herbal medicine matters 🌿
Know what you’re taking. Know who prescribed it and their qualifications to do so. 🌿

Needles, heat lamps, a bit of moxibustion, some Chinese cupping.
Lots of cups of tea in the breakroom for me, while my patient lies on the table relaxing.
Lots of conversations with patients to reassure them about their treatment progress, my commitment to helping to create change with them so they feel better.
Helping people slow down long enough to finally take a deep breath, today. Just another day in my Brookvale clinic.

Cupping is a simple option when your body feels like it’s holding too much tension.

A lot of people don’t realise how much tension they’re carrying until it starts showing up as:
• tight shoulders
• neck stiffness
• upper back tension
• lower back discomfort
• headaches or feeling physically “wound up”

This is something we commonly work with using Chinese cupping in clinic.

Cupping is often used to help release areas of built-up muscle tension and tightness — especially for people spending long hours at a desk, driving, parenting, training, or constantly “pushing through” without much recovery time.

For busy Brookvale locals, we also offer Express Cupping appointments designed for quick, focused treatment during a lunch break, after work or on the weekend. Ask us how to book in.

📍Brookvale clinic: Tuesdays + Saturdays

A lot of people hold stress physically without realising it. Tight shoulders, locked neck, clenched jaw or always feeling ‘switched on’.
Your body can stay stuck in that tension pattern. This is where Acupuncture fits in with you - supporting the nervous system and helping the body shift out of that constant holding state.

Starting acupuncture can come with a lot of questions—and that’s a good thing.

The most important part of your experience isn’t just the treatment itself, it’s finding an acupuncturist you feel comfortable with. Someone you trust, who listens, explains things clearly, and creates space for you to ask questions without hesitation.

Your sessions should feel collaborative. Whether you’re asking “Will it hurt?”, “How many treatments do I need?” or “Is this right for my condition?”—those conversations matter and that’s why it’s important to see a fully qualified acupuncturist.

This covers some of the most common FAQs, but your individual concerns are always welcome. That’s what I’m here for.
If you’ve been curious but unsure where to start, consider this your invitation to ask for what you need and feel reassured in my care.

I’m a degree qualified acupuncturist and have over 20 years experience in private practice. Based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, I’m happy to answer your questions.

Stiff knees? Ongoing pain and poor mobility? Knee osteoarthritis can be frustrating but acupuncture provides a research-supported option for relief.

According to evidence summaries from EvidenceBasedAcupuncture.org, acupuncture has been shown to reduce pain and improve function in knee osteoarthritis, outperforming sham treatments in many studies.

Acupuncture may reduce pain by affecting nervous system pathways, lower inflammation by suppressing pro-inflammatory markers, enhance joint function, and support improved outcomes when combined with exercise.

If knee pain is limiting your movement, consider incorporating acupuncture from fully qualified acupuncturist into your treatment plan. It’s different from dry needling!

56kms. 20kg pack. 6 days, 2 of them raining. This was the hardest hike I’ve done, with no defined trail or path in a straight line. We called it “fundulating; there was obstacles - going under and over trees, branches and slippery roots, creek and river crossings. But the rainforest put on a spectacular show! 🤩

To prepare, I did 8 weeks of training with an EP because I wanted to focus on strength and avoid injury. Thanks Jasper!

My own training of 3-4 additional fitness activities per week in the lead up.

My back, hips and knees niggled during the training and I always come back to my own modality- Acupuncture. Great for pain relief and reducing inflammation, I know it helps me a lot. Thanks .acupuncture

I have years of experience with training and preparing for hiking and outdoor endurance. I can help you get prepared for your next trip or adventure using Acupuncture, cupping and hydration, nutrition and blister prevention tips that have helped me walk all over the world including Patagonia, Borneo, multiple stints in Sth island New Zealand and here in Tassie and Larapinta.

It’s so important to build your support team around you.

Heel pain from plantar fasciitis can make every step uncomfortable—especially first thing in the morning or after long periods on your feet.

💙Acupuncture can help:
~ Relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve local circulation.
~ Excellent for softening and releasing tight calves.
~ Often used alongside stretching and strengthening exercises, acupuncture can be an effective addition to your treatment plan.
If foot pain is limiting your movement, it may be time to address it properly.

I’ve just come back from a hiking holiday, so I wanted to put out a reminder for those of you training for a hiking holiday or fitness challenge, to make sure you look after your feet!

💫 Acupuncture can be an awesome tool in your toolkit for preparation and recovery.
