Stella is a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner practicing Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. After a decades-long career in music and arts PR, alongside teaching yoga across Sydney for 15 years, she committed to her Chinese Medicine degree at the University of Technology Sydney after acupuncture was life-changing in her ongoing battle with depression, anxiety and burnout. 7 years later, with a mixture of part-time and full time study and a long IVF journey and baby along the way, she finished her degree and loves sharing this amazing modality with her local community.
Alongside her studies, Stella also undertook a 5 year apprenticeship with her mentor in Bondi. giving her priceless clinical experience and a deep understanding of the Han era Minglu tradition. This is seen in her treatments, which often see fewer pins that get right to the heart of the issue. She uses a highly effective shallow needling technique which works beautifully with the body’s own system of healing.
During her degree Stella also undertook further research studies & clinical practice in postnatal and maternal fatigue, plus hormonal issues including infertility, and dysmenorrhea. As a CFS Warrior herself, she is passionate about burnout, fatigue, and mental health, and works well with Western medical doctors and other complementary medical practitioners such as GPs, midwives and physios, to ensure thorough holistic care is achieved.
Stella loves providing a safe and trusting environment for people to come in and unwind from busy city living.
