Welcome, I’m glad you’re here

Kate is a degree-qualified Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist with a clinical approach strongly influenced by the principles of Classical Acupuncture. Her treatment philosophy is informed by an appreciation of the traditional foundations of Chinese Medicine, combined with an evidence-informed, patient-centred approach to care. Kate is Reiki attuned and offers energy work in addition to her acupuncture treatments. 

Before entering healthcare, Kate worked professionally in the arts, an experience that fostered creativity, observation and a deep understanding of the human experience. She has also maintained a dedicated yoga practice for more than 20 years and is a Yoga Facilitator with over 500 hours of registered teacher training, as well as an Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant. These complementary disciplines enhance her holistic approach to supporting health and wellbeing. Kate believes food is a central pillar of wellness and offers stand alone Oriental Medicine Nutrition consultations.

Kate has a particular interest in women’s health, with a focus on menopause, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum care. Her passion for supporting women during the perinatal period was inspired by her own experiences through pregnancy and birth with her two daughters. She teaches regular Pregnancy Yoga classes and birth preparation workshops. In addition Kate offers postnatal home visits to assist in nourishing and supporting new mothers. 

She also enjoys working with patients experiencing autoimmune conditions, digestive disorders and chronic health concerns. Recognising the close relationship between physical and mental health, Kate places emotional wellbeing at the centre of her treatment approach. She is committed to providing personalised, comprehensive care that addresses the underlying patterns contributing to illness, rather than simply managing symptoms, helping patients achieve sustainable improvements in their health and quality of life.

When not in clinic Kate is an avid animal lover working in cat rescue. She loves yoga, hiking and cups of tea. Her most important work lies in raising her two daughters, Frankie and Etta.

A note- I acknowledge I am living and working on Kaurna Land, I recognise the Kaurna peoples enduring connection to land and seas. I pay my respects to elders past and present.
