Ten years of listening, then treating

Why she started the clinic

“Aroma Acupuncture began from my desire to provide more personal, flexible and patient-centred care. After working in different acupuncture and rehabilitation clinics, I wanted to create a local clinic where I could spend proper time understanding each patient, combine traditional Chinese medicine with practical modern care, and build long-term relationships with the community.”

What she will not compromise on

“Patient safety, honesty or treatment quality. I do not rush treatment, over-treat, promise unrealistic results, or recommend care that I do not believe is appropriate.”

Qualifications and experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in China
• Bachelor’s degree in Chinese Medicine in New Zealand

Her main focus is musculoskeletal pain and injury — people commonly come to her for sports injuries, lower back pain and sciatica. She also works with stress, sleep issues, women’s health and general wellbeing.

Acupuncture is her main treatment, sometimes combined with cupping, moxibustion, Tui Na or Chinese herbal medicine where appropriate. Her approach is practical and patient-focused, and she aims to be realistic about what acupuncture can and cannot help with.

Consultations are available in English and Chinese.
