Hi! I'm Maya, a degree qualified, AHPRA registered Doctor of Chinese medicine.
I'm passionate about providing you with a holistic approach to your health using the wisdom of Chinese medicine alongside the breakthroughs of integrative medicine.
I enjoy supporting my clients with many different ailments. I also have a focus in my practice on fertility, reproductive and hormonal health, dermatology and cosmetic acupuncture. I aim not only to "treat" you, but also to educate and empower you to achieve your health goals, bringing balance and harmony back into your world, together.
I support people with:
-
Chinese medicine offers a holistic approach to menstrual health, supporting individuals with a range of period-related concerns, including endometriosis, pelvic pain, PCOS, PMDD, period pain, heavy periods, and irregular cycles. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary therapy work to balance hormones, regulate the menstrual cycle, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, helping to alleviate discomfort and promote overall reproductive health. By addressing underlying imbalances, Chinese medicine helps to restore harmony to the body, making it a natural and effective option for those seeking relief from menstrual issues.
-
Chinese medicine offers a holistic and integrative approach to supporting natural conception and IVF, helping to optimize fertility for all individuals and couples on their journey to parenthood. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle recommendations work to regulate cycles, balance hormones, improve egg and sperm quality, and enhance overall reproductive health. For those undergoing IVF, acupuncture can improve implantation rates, support a healthy uterine lining, and reduce stress, helping to create the best possible environment for conception.
-
Acupuncture and integrative Chinese medicine provides holistic support throughout pregnancy by promoting optimal fetal development, balancing hormones, and addressing common concerns such as nausea, fatigue, pain, and emotional well-being. By enhancing circulation, regulating the nervous system, and preparing the body for birth, these treatments help create a smoother pregnancy experience and support both the birthing parent and baby’s overall health.
-
Acupuncture and integrative Chinese medicine can support postpartum recovery by replenishing energy, promoting healing, and balancing hormones to aid in physical and emotional well-being. Through targeted treatments and herbal medicine, sleep can be regulated, milk supply can be supported, fatigue can be eased, and the body nourished, fostering a smoother transition into parenthood.
-
Perimenopause is a significant transition in life, and Chinese medicine offers a natural, holistic approach to easing the changes that come with it. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary therapy help regulate hormones, reduce symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, weight changes, low libido, and support overall vitality. By nourishing yin, calming the nervous system, and strengthening digestive and adrenal health, Chinese medicine helps create a smoother, more balanced transition into menopause.
-
Cosmetic acupuncture naturally revitalises the skin by stimulating circulation, collagen production, and lymphatic flow, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and puffiness while improving muscle tone and elasticity. It also supports skin clarity by addressing acne scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, sunspots, and uneven skin tone, while deeply nourishing dryness and flakiness for a more radiant complexion. By relieving facial tension and promoting overall skin health, cosmetic acupuncture offers a preventative and restorative approach to ageing, leaving the skin firmer, brighter, and more balanced.
-
Chinese medicine supports skin health by addressing the root causes of conditions such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and eczema through a holistic approach. Chinese medicine can reduce inflammation, regulate the immune system, promote detoxification, and strengthen digestive function—all of which play a key role in skin health. This natural approach helps calm redness, soothe irritation, clear breakouts, and restore moisture balance, leading to long-term improvements in skin health and overall well-being.
-
Chinese medicine supports digestive health by addressing the underlying imbalances that contribute to conditions like IBS, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, incontinence, haemorrhoids, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, gastroparesis, and diverticulitis. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary therapy, it helps regulate gut motility, reduce inflammation, strengthen digestive function, and restore harmony to the microbiome. By improving nutrient absorption and calming the nervous system, this holistic approach promotes long-term digestive balance and overall well-being.
-
Chinese medicine supports mental and emotional well-being by addressing the root causes of stress, anxiety, and depression. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance, it regulates the nervous system, balances hormones, and improves circulation. Often, resolving underlying issues like anemia or blood sugar imbalances can also help improve mood and mental clarity. As other health concerns—like digestive issues or chronic pain—are addressed, mental health often improves naturally, creating a ripple effect of overall well-being.
-
Chinese medicine is a complete and comprehensive system of healthcare that has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of conditions, from digestive and hormonal imbalances to pain, stress, and skin health. By addressing the root cause of illness and restoring balance in the body, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance can support both acute and chronic health concerns.
