What got you into your current profession as an Acupuncturist?
​
My journey into acupuncture began with trying it for my own self-care as a teenager, experiencing firsthand its positive impact on my mental health and overall wellbeing. I have been interested in complementary medicine since then and learnt about a variety of different modalities relating to mental, physical and metaphysical aspects of health. While learning Thai massage, I was introduced to 'sen' lines along the body which are similar to acupuncture meridian lines and this inspired me to pursue acupuncture & Chinese medicine. This field of medicine resonates with me because it looks at the whole picture of a person's health as well as the impact of lifestyle and environment. I also love that it is gentle and can be used alongside other therapies for so many ailments.
What do you like to do outside of work?​
​
I enjoy going bush walking, playing volleyball, meditation and spending time with loved ones. I also like to travel, learn about different cultures and am currently doing training in Shamanism.
What is your advice for anyone embarking on a health journey?
Be kind to your self, healing and change can sometimes take time.
​
Notice how you feel and check in with yourself after engaging with different activities, environments or foods. Just noticing can bring about change.
