FERTILITY

Many couples are seeking help with their fertility and Chinese Medicine is a key player in the treatment of both male and female infertility.  Teja and Jacinda both specialise in the treatment of infertility, and have extensive experience in this area of health care.

OBSTETRICS

Traditional Chinese Medicine for PregnancyMany expecting mothers want natural remedies to overcome various conditions they experience during their pregnancy. Acupuncture is both safe and effective, can be used at any time during pregnancy and can treat nearly all pregnancy related conditions.  The added benefit of Acupuncture is that you are not ingesting anything so absolutely no harm can be done to your baby. An increasing number of women are also seeking my skills for pre-birth/labour preparation treatments.

PAEDIATRICS

As a mum, I know that when it comes to treating your child you want only the best, natural and effective remedies, without hassles and without stress. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine offer drug free solutions that can be used successfully to treat many childhood illnesses, disorders and conditions. Babies from as young as a few months through to adolescents can be treated and results are fast and effective.
