Conditions People Seek Help For
People seeking health, Tanagata wai ora do so for a wide range of conditions.
I have listed the general categories and invite you to use the contact form (click here)
I prefer to have a chat about your condition so I can ask a few questions, and we can decide if Chinese Medicine is the right approach for you. I need to make sure it is within my experience and scope of practice prior to booking the first session.
While the research base for acupuncture exceeds 9000 published papers, not every condition is researched, and some research approaches are limited. Both empirical and research evidence bases are established and growing.
Drawing on 30 years of clinical experience what matters most to me is not how much research is published on your condition, but what the realistic chances I can positively impact you are. There are usually several factors to consider before deciding if Chinese medicine may be appropriate for you.
Chinese medicine can be used for physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic concerns.
The broad categories people seek help for are:
Women’s Health.
Reproductive Fertility (men and women) and hormone balancing.
Wellbeing: Emotional, Spiritual, and Mental health.
Gastrointestinal, Respiratory, Urogenital.
Immune regulation and Internal medicine.
Anti-infection: Chinese medicine has a range of anti-infection herbals including antiviral and antibacterial agents.
Musculoskeletal: Pain and movement restrictions.
Energetic: Recovery from challenging childbirth, illness, accidents, trauma or burnout.
Miscellaneous: Scarring, Cosmetic.
If you are a practitioner or medical provider and would like more information before suggesting treatment to a current patient, I am happy to discuss and accept referrals.
I believe in the power of a multidisciplinary approach especially in complex, chronic entrenched or long-standing conditions.
In the past I worked collaboratively and freely between Midwives, IVF doctors, GP’s, Specialists, Mental health workers and other health practitioners.
