Registered Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbalist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner with the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (AHPRA), and a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA). More than 30 years in clinical practice, across the Balmoral and Alexandra Hills clinics.
He was in his last year of primary school when he picked up his first book on Eastern philosophy. That reading is what led him to Chinese medicine, and then to training as an acupuncturist and herbalist in Melbourne and in China.
At the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine he worked through hospital departments covering diabetes, stroke recovery, cancer care, neurology, sports injuries, gynaecology and psychiatry. The internal arts have run alongside the clinical work for most of his life: Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong and meditation, studied in Australia, England, India, and at Wudang Mountain in China, where he lived and studied in a Taoist temple as a young man. He still teaches Tai Chi and Qigong as an extension of the care offered here.
He has taught elsewhere too. He was a lecturer, senior clinic supervisor and core-curriculum author at Endeavour College of Natural Health, and taught Tai Chi and Qigong there for many years. He now works in clinical practice full time.
What he told students is what he brings to the treatment room: care matters more than technique. One person at a time.
