After completing a 4 year degree in Acupuncture including 200 supervised clinic hours & a diploma of Qi Qong & Taiji Quan in 2014, I began working in a busy physiotherapy practice in Onehunga, Auckland. There, I worked alongside other practitioners. This environment allowed me to gain valuable knowledge of acute & chronic musculoskeletal conditions, whilst building up fundamental relationships between clients, practitioners and other professional organisations.
I have an interest in 'chronic' pain, including inflammatory disorders, myofascial pain syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Complex Regional Pain, stress & anxiety, - however I also enjoy helping others with empathy & encouragement.
Acupuncture treatments are known to effectively reduce symptoms by balancing & regulating bodily functions, therefore balancing the body's own homeostasis.
Acupuncture stimulates the body into producing 'feel good' hormones such as dopamine, serotonin, & analgesics to manage and improve these conditions both acute and chronic. Acupuncture triggers the immune & vascular system which promotes healing, therefore beneficial for post-operative rehabilitation of fractures, joint replacements and spinal surgeries.
Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities can include; Moxa, cupping, massage and ear acupuncture.
I regularly attend seminars & workshops to educate myself more on upcoming techniques and understand the core principals of Qi Gong.
