When I was 17 years old my family was going through a tough time and I went to live with my Grandmother.

From this point, every morning at breakfast I would walk past my grandmother’s prescription drug tray and because I cared for her, I began studying the mechanisms of each of her drugs.

The sight all the common side effects took my breath away. What was worse was none of these drugs were guaranteed to provide any benefit.

Deep down, I questioned the reality of the situation and felt there had to be another way. It wasn’t until I had a health problem of my own that my doctors didn’t have an answer for, which led me to a Chinese medicine physician.

What took 2 years of monitoring at my local GP clinic, with no answers, took 2 appointments with a Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose and successfully treat my problem. It was the first time I was symptom free in 2 years.

So, I asked myself, “If Chinese medicine can fix a problem I had for 2 years so efficiently”, I wanted to know if it could be applied to other health problems.

I was so happy with my own physical improvement in that I added Chinese medicine and human biology to my list of preferences for university.

I began study in 2011 and I have since seen first hand why Chinese medicine has been popular for over 2000 years.

At the same time, I began a personal training service that has now provided over 12,000 sessions across Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

In 2015, I completed a full internship in one of the busiest hospitals in Nanjing, China. I spent time in dermatology, gynaecology, rheumatology, nephrology, oncology, respiratory, gastroenterology, paediatrics departments applying Chinese medicine to a multitude of health conditions.

Everything in my life has led me to this point. I am here to provide options for people that want more than symptomatic relief and get the most from their life.

Today, I have an office in Reservoir and feel grateful to be able provide more options for people
