About Acupuncture Chinese Herb

Natural Healer in Brisbane

The Natural Therapies studies in those days were broad in their curriculum, most of the subjects in that course are now degrees in their own right, i.e. herbs, massage, iridology.

From the level of information layering and hands on technical skills garnered I found that I mostly used a level of dietary manipulation, mineral therapy prescribing and an amalgam of body working practices.

This made for a highly portable, very affordable, reasonably comprehensive and nicely compatible set of tools to travel with, and so I did.

I really consider myself a Journeyman able to pick up and put down, upskill and grow as a practitioner at all times. There is no great distinction between my business and my pleasure in this regard, I am fortunate indeed to love what I do.

With different businesses and jobs I worked I operated a fee free service to my community wherever I lived in South East Queensland for the next twenty years.

After a relatively simple yet life threatening push bike accident I found myself recovering from an acquired brain injury. This incident is mentioned as having been a seminal moment in the evolution of my understanding/acceptance of the energetics of life and my ability to affect and effect them.

In my progression through this phase I found my therapeutic interactions to be of a more esoteric nature, I felt quite keenly there was more energy in the room than the sum total of the two individuals involved in the therapeutic encounter. I found I would access this energy consciously asking questions and receiving responses that facilitated great changes in the clinical environment.

This opened up a huge panorama of possibility and my experience grew incrementally. I found my touch became much lighter and a lot of work was done in the aura over the body.

Through a series of domestic/familial circumstances I moved to Brisbane to act as my mother’s primary carer in 2003

I had been aware for some time how well Acupuncture suited my understating of body energetics, so I determined to study Chinese Medicine at ostensibly the same college as my original studies albeit with changes of location and name. This experience was very much like one of a duck to water; Chinese Medicine gave me a great framework to place the things I had gathered intuitively over the preceding years.

I was privileged at that time and have been ever since to have been mentored by two diverse yet complimentary streams of Chinese medicine (in this country most Acupuncturists don’t practice a traditional style of Chinese herbal medicine).

The first were practitioners of an energetic Qigong style of Acupuncture of which The Extraordinary Vessels, Daoist Five Element point selection criteria, the Chinese clock and Moxibustion were an integral part.

The second were practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine from the Shang Han Lun and the Jingui Yaolue school of classics.

These opportunities have afforded me the chance to bring together this lifetime of experience into a clinical practice here in Brisbane covering Pre-conception to Palliative care and all points in between.
