“From Why do I suffer? to How should I live?
That's what brought me to this work.
And it's what keeps me here."
Why I Do
This Work
About five years ago, I began to notice something I had long suspected: that acupuncture and Chinese Medicine could reach something deeper than tissue and nerve. That realisation didn't arrive all at once — it came gradually, through patients, through observation, through sitting with what the medicine was actually doing. But over time, it became clear that the same tools I used for a frozen shoulder could meet grief, anxiety, a life that had quietly stopped making sense.
That shift changed the direction of my practice.
Now I work in that space where the physical and emotional meet. And in a way, the question has changed too — from Why do I suffer? to How should I live? That's what brought me to this work. And it's what keeps me here.
My Background
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Acupuncture, Moxibustion and Tuina from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.
Before that, I studied philosophy in South Korea. There was genuine intellectual curiosity in it — but at the heart of it, I was searching for answers to questions that felt deeply personal: Who am I? Where am I from? Why do I suffer?
Those questions stayed with me when I entered clinical practice in 2008, with over 17 years of experience built in Christchurch — and now bringing that practice to Perth. My clinical work spans chronic pain, some skin conditions, sleep that won't settle, and the emotional weight that doesn't always have a name — tension, restlessness, a heaviness that lingers.
I am registered with AHPRA. Formerly registered with CMCNZ and MAcNZ (New Zealand).
What I Believe
Your body and mind have never been separate. The chronic pain you've learned to manage, the anxiety that's become background noise, the emotional weight you've been carrying for years — these aren't always isolated problems. More often than not, they're connected — to each other, and to the life you've been living.
I don't treat symptoms in isolation. I want to understand where you've come from, what your life looks like, what's weighing on you. That's not a detour from treatment. That is the treatment.
Real change isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it asks something of you. But it begins with being seen — and with the decision to take your health seriously.
Invitation
This work begins when the body, the breath,
and attention no longer move together.
Pain, tension, and emotional patterns are not treated as problems to remove,
but as signals that something within has lost its natural coherence.
The role of this clinic is simply to create the conditions in which that coherence can return.
This is where that return unfolds.
