Welcome!
I'm Alex, a local Mildura acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner with a passion for helping people feel better. I aim to provide effective and holistic healthcare options to those in rural and remote communities. I have always been fascinated by the body and mind, and love the way Chinese medicine views and addresses both.
With clinical experience in a wide range of areas, I have a particular interest in Emotional wellbeing & Mental health, Women's health, Headaches/Migraines, Digestion and Skin.
I hope to meet you soon,
Alex
P.S. I am a bit of an instagram fanatic so if you want

About the Medicine
What is Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture?
Chinese medicine is a traditional medicine based on thousands of years of experience and practice. It views the body and mind as a complete interconnected whole. Traditionally the body was viewed as having several channel pathways that conduct energy and blood flow through the body and organs. These pathways are the basis of acupuncture theory, with specific sites along those channels that essentially give the body instructions on where to direct its focus. Chinese Herbal Medicine works with a similar concept, however it uses plant parts in combination which have certain properties to achieve therapeutic effects. Chinese medicine is big on prevention and nourishing life ('yang shen') so it includes providing appropriate dietary and lifestyle advice to support the body & mind back to its balanced state.
