I became interested in acupuncture about twelve years ago, after struggling to overcome a back injury. Acupuncture was the last treatment I considered, but it turned out to be the most effective.

After some time traveling I ended up on a Canadian farm for the winter, and when not clearing snow had plenty of time to read about Chinese medicine. I returned to Melbourne and studied at the Melbourne College of Natural Medicine for four years.

After my final year I went to China and spent two months studying acupuncture in the Nanning University and hospital. Appreciating the experience to be gained by working in a Chinese hospital clinic, I took the opportunity to return for another year.

Working beside doctors in the acupuncture clinic and living and traveling in China has given me an understanding of this amazing country, which has developed a unique style of healing from which we can all benefit.

I am a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (A.A.C.M.A) with registration number 2156.
