Here to help
Hi! I’m Eamon and I’ve been practicing Chinese Medicine for over 10 years. I help clients by getting to the root of their problem and facilitating a personalised treatment plan to achieve their health goals in the quickest time.
Treatment options
Musculoskeletal pain
Pain sucks. Acute injury or chronic pain; it doesn't matter it sucks. Luckily, acupuncture exists. Throw in Cupping, Gua Sha & Topical Liniments and we’ve got an in-depth approach to targeting pain. The first question that always gets asked is "how many treatments do I need until I’m 100%?

Long Answer: Injuries are always complex (believe me I’ve had my fair share) and everybody responds so differently.

Short Answer:
Acute injuries → 4-6 sessions.        
Chronic Injuries → 8-12+ sessions.

Our clinical emphasis is always preventative care over reactive care.  Meaning, due to our goals of being fit & healthy, pain can be a natural byproduct of crushing life.  So, it's best to have a consistent treatment booked in advance.
Stress & anxiety
Restless Sleep? Irritable or moody? Forgetting little things? Feeling isolated or overwhelmed?

When we react to a stressful situation our hormonal system releases cortisol. This hormone gives us a boost of energy/focus that we use for exercise, goals & getting stuff done. This is an acute/temporary stress state that is necessary.

The problem is that this stressed state has extended into the majority of our lives.

How can we use acupuncture and meditation to break this cycle? Acupuncture works to recorrect the fascial pathways in the body to improve the function of all systems in the body and allows us to drop into this parasympathetic (rest & digest) state. Meditation allows all of these thoughts, emotions and beliefs to rise, and for us to simply observe and let go. 
Women's health
There are two approaches to women’s health that we address clinically.  The first one is period pain or primary dysmenorrhea that affects over 90% of young women in Australia on a regular basis.

While sometimes this pain reduces as people get older, many women find that their pain stays pretty constant. The most common symptom is a cramping. Sometimes it can involve a stabbing feeling below the belly button, which often starts about 24 hours before the period begins and is usually worse for the first couple of days which can last for the whole period in some women.

There are usually other symptoms that come along with the pain; bloating, back and leg pain, headaches, dizziness and fatigue are all quite common.

What to expect
Approach to sessions
In a Traditional Chinese Medicine session, we examine the patient’s complaint and identify what the goals are for treatment. As a practitioner, I check the patient's pulse to get an idea of how the body is functioning and check the tongue to see the condition of the microbiome (good and bad bacteria) of the body. From here we outline a treatment plan of attack to addressing the client’s concerns.

Every treatment plan is different. Some might look like 1-2 acupuncture appointments per week with fortnightly herbal prescription and check-ins to re-evaluate.
Preparation and aftercare
Each treatment we will have the opportunity to check in with the past days/week since the previous session to see how the body has responded and how the treatment plan is working.  At any stage we can revise and revisit certain issues to maintain the best outcome for the client.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine? (TCM)
Oftentimes when we think of Chinese Medicine we immediately think of acupuncture which is an increasingly popular and well known therapy.

Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into particular points on the body to stimulate a healing effect in the point.

However, acupuncture is just one pillar of Chinese Medicine. Other pillars include Chinese Herbal medicine, Tai Chi/Martial arts, Qigong and meditation. All pillars have their unique benefits.

Each therapy has a place in addressing certain health issues and is prescribed either individually or in a combination in treating certain complaints. Not every complaint is the same for everyone, requiring an individual approach.
History
Traditional Chinese Medicine is thousands of years old. It has been refined and tested and quality controlled to make sure the best outcome was achieved. They are used clinically to treat health complaints because they grow in such harsh conditions e.g. cold, drought, high altitude which forces the plants to adapt and create plant chemicals which support and improve the health of the patient.

For example, ginger is very warming in nature and there is a reason it is prescribed for nausea and digestive upset because that warm nature of the plant enables the stomach to increase its metabolic temp to digest food more efficiently. This plant is one of 1000s of herbs that are useful for different health complaints.
