I am ChanéI & I work as a holistic practitioner using Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities after graduating from 5-years double degree course in Human Biology & Chinese Medicine from RMIT University in 2010.

I have been a practitioner for +10years.

Whether you’d benefit from better blood flow, a release of tension in your fascia for pain relief, regulating menstrual cycles or supporting your fertility & pregnancy, I can help facilitate this with my simple tools: my gua-sha spoon, acupuncture needles, flame cups and Chinese medicine herbal pills specifically selected for you.

 

I love to educate women about their menstrual cycles and encourage them to be more in-tune with their physical body, in order to simplify health. As well as support women during their pregnancy journey, from 1st trimester in to post-partum nourishment.

 

I hope to be an ally in helping you to reconnect to yourself honouring your body and what it needs to put you on to your highest health path.

SERVICES
ESOTERIC ACUPUNCTURE

Esoteric acupuncture helps return the body to parasympathetic mode, a.k.a a healthy equilibrium. This allows the body to perform its functions in a balanced and rhythmic manner.

 

It improves blood and energy circulation, which addresses any imbalances along the way - for example, dysmenorrhea. 

Reduces inflammation and boosts the immune system.

Balances hormones by working on the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Reduces pain by not only moving blockages in circulation, but also by stimulating endorphin release.

 

Mood disorders are also addressed by reducing stress hormones and stimulating feel-good neurotransmitters

ALCHEMISING BODY WORK

Trauma can be held in each individual cell of the body.

 

Accessing the body’s unique potential to heal itself through the healing modalities used in Chanel’s clinic may allow the patient to shed and move past what has been repressed but not yet expressed.

 

This allows for better quality and more clarity in one’s life. 

GuaSha & CUPPING
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

Like an inverse massage, cupping therapy pulls at the fascia to release tension and knots as well as help move old lymph. This can result in bruise-like marks, showing where there was a discrepancy in the circulation.

 

A feeling of “lightness” is generally felt afterwards, as well as better ROM and less tension and pain.

 

Cupping can also help move phlegm from the lungs when slid up and down the back.

 Fire-cupping is used in Chanél’s clinic. 

Utilising a selection of traditionally used herbal formulae in clinic to help address any health imbalance.

 

Food is also considered medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine hence dietary advice will also be given regarding what best suits your constitution.

 

Supplements are also advised, hence its best to bring all recent blood tests in to clinic for a more comprehensive diagnosis.
