"Mobilising the mind-body's own healing capacities is an important aspect to my practice. I generally prefer to start with the simplest and most natural methods. Medications and referral are considered when the situation arises. Treating presenting symptoms and correcting the underlying causes wherever possible. "I have trained with the Australian Medical Acupuncture College in Perth and Sydney. With further training in YNSA Scalp Acupuncture in Sydney / Miyazaki Japan and paediatric Sho-Ni-Shin. "My diverse clinical experience since 1999 includes health and wellness clinics, occupational health, emergency medicine, general practice, surgical assisting, health and arts programs and Fremantle Hospital therapeutic gardens. I began medical acupuncture practice in 2010 and found this most rewarding in being able to more effectively treat a broad range of conditions combining Western General practice and Eastern Medical practice. "Acupuncture is able to address many health problems including my special interests of musculoskeletal problems, chronic pain, women's health, digestive problems, stress-related conditions, insomnia, children and adolescent health and post-operative rehabilitation."
