Clare has been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine since 1984. She was inspired to study TCM after living in Bali and absorbing the culture for a year. Clare observed how the traditional ways of life there aimed to maintain harmony between the universe and human life, and realised that health is something the individual needs to take responsibility for. Her treatments aim to help you regain your balanced health and maintain it – the truly preventative healing way.
Clare has a special interest in treating women’s fertility issues- from her long experience she knows it is vital to clear blocked energy and rebuild the body to its optimum level of health before proceeding with specific treatments that enable conception. She works with women looking to achieve conception, both naturally and through IVF. She also works with pregnant women who have breech position babies, and pregnant women preparing for birth.
Other health issues Clare focuses on include pain management, digestion and respiratory ones, having felt the benefits herself in these areas.
Clare has always been drawn to yoga and belly dance, both of which she is a teacher, and has practiced Buddhist meditation and mindfulness techniques for many years. She draws on these ancient traditions to deepen the effect of your acupuncture sessions, to further nourish your body-mind.
Clare holds a Bachelor of Acupuncture, Sydney, a post graduate Certificate of Acupuncture from Guangzhou, China. She maintains and upgrades her knowledge by attending numerous seminars and webinars and by researching the latest developments in natural health, including diet, supplements, and exercise.
Clare is a member of AACMA and AHPRA.
