As a practising Naturopath in Toowoomba, I see a wide range of clients of all ages, with all types of health conditions. While my specialties are Natural Fertility, Children's health & Behavioural Issues, and Autoimmune Conditions, I treat any health issue.

My wife is also a Naturopath, Herbalist and Nutritionist, but currently works as a full-time mum to our children. We've been in Toowoomba for around 13 years, and love living in this beautiful city.

My Naturopathic qualification is a Bachelor of Naturopathy from Southern Cross University in Lismore, NSW. This 4 year degree included Clinical Diagnosis, Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, Naturopathy and Homoeopathy. I was granted the Clinical Achievement Award at the end of my degree, this being

"awarded to the graduating student with the most outstanding clinical achievement in the Bachelor of Naturopathy"

Having practised in Northern NSW, Brisbane and now Toowoomba for more than 18 years, I've gained great experience in seeing and treating thousands of clients, many of whom have shared their health journey with me for more than 13 years.

I focus on investigating my clients' underlying issues before offering treatment options, these including nutrition changes, lifestyle recommendations and supplements where relevant.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?

"Many health practitioners may recommend acupuncture as an adjunct treatment that may assist with IVF treatment. There is continuing research about how acupuncture can assist with the effectiveness of IVF treatment and you should consult your treating practitioner/s about how acupuncture may be able to help you" (3).

"Acupuncture and herbs are both an integral part of Chinese medicine practice, which may help patients to manage a range of symptoms including pain, stress and fatigue" (3).

"Chinese medicine is generally considered to be safe but occasionally (as with all health treatments) may be associated with possible adverse reactions in individual cases" (3).

"Chinese medicine is a system of medicine developed in China that has a different history and approach than Western medicine. Rather than treating disease, a Chinese medicine practitioner treats patterns of disharmony (or symptom clusters) in a patient" (3).
