Hello

Charlie’s journey into Chinese medicine began with a profound personal experience. In her twenties, she found relief from debilitating pain through auricular acupuncture when nothing else worked. Around the same time, her husband, having endured years of chronic trigeminal neuralgia, found lasting relief only through acupuncture after exhausting surgeries and medications. These transformative moments ignited Charlie’s passion for Chinese medicine, leading her to a career she hadn’t planned but felt deeply called to pursue.

 

Now, as a dedicated practitioner, Charlie blends deep knowledge of Chinese medicine with an intuitive and compassionate approach to client care. She recognises that physical, emotional, and mental health are deeply intertwined and works holistically to support each client’s unique health journey. Whether addressing chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, or women’s health, Charlie’s treatments are always tailoured to the individual.

Charlie’s expertise is grounded in both rigorous study and hands-on experience. She holds a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has extensive training in fertility, having been mentored in the renowned clinics of Jane Lyttleton. She also follows the lineage of Dr. Richard Tan, studying classical meridian therapy under Master Sonia Tan. Prior to her career in Chinese medicine, Charlie worked as a birth doula and childbirth educator. She also advocated legislatively for women and families through a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to informed, supported, and empowered birth. With over a decade in that space, she carries a deep respect for a woman’s ability to birth her baby with confidence and care.

Charlie is a registered member of The Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency (AHPRA) and The Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA). All of her treatments are eligible for private health reimbursement.
