Rebecca started working in community pharmacy in 1997, studied Swedish Massage in 1998 at Nature Care College and Western herbal medicine in 1999. She was introduced to the holistic concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) through a work colleague when working within a public hospital pharmacy as a pharmacy technician. Her supervising oncology pharmacist was discussing the origins of many western pharmaceutical medications whose active ingredients are isolated from Chinese herbs. Rebecca pursued her desire to study more holistic approaches to health and began her studies in 2002 at the University of Technology in Sydney and graduated in 2005 from a 4 year full time Bachelor of Health Sciences degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She continues to learn each and every day from her patients in her clinic and senior practitioners.
Rebecca has traveled through China and Vietnam where she observed the extensive application of Traditional Chinese Medicine in hospital and private clinic settings. In 2007 she completed a short internship at Zheijiang Provincial Hospital in Hangzhou, China. She worked as an acupuncturist at sea for 8 months in 2008, introducing the benefits of acupuncture to passengers and crew cruising through the Caribbean and Europe. She returned home in 2009 to Orange in New South Wales to soak up the fresh mountain air and enjoy the peaceful lifestyle and colourful seasons that the Central West offers.
Rebecca is devoted to continuing her education and refining her skills to give you the best advice and treatment possible. She is passionate about guiding you to rediscover the joys of living with a healthy body whilst encouraging you to take care and responsibility for your own health.
She has particular interests in helping with pain & stress management, digestive complaints and women's health.
