I am a qualified and AHPRA registered Chinese Medical Practitioner. Consultations will often include:

• Chinese Herbal Medicine

• Acupuncture

• Lifestyle Advice

• Cupping, Heat Treatments

Chinese Herbal Medicine is the practise of selecting 1-20 herbs to match your individual circumstances.

The herbs are mostly from plants and shells. Ceda prefers not to use animal products.

The herbs have been selected in granulated form to ensure they are tested for heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides. This also makes them easier to take, as all you need to do is add water. No boiling required.

Other herbs on offer include Tinctures, pills and capsules.

Make sure you let your practitioner know if you take any Pharmaceutical medications, even if they are over the counter preparations, as herbs need to be screened for interaction.

Before your appointment, you will be asked to fill in a health history form, including any medications you are taking.

During the consultation, your practitioner will discuss relevant health history, your symptoms, and your health goals.

Your practitioner will look at your tongue, take your pulse and palpate of relevant areas of the body. This aids in the selection of treatment Acupoints, cupping and herbs.

Allow 75 minutes for the consultation. Your practitioner may email any relevant information to you after the session.

Loose fitting clothing works best.

Depending on the area to be treated, you may be fully clothed, with access to belly and lower limbs required.

If you require Cupping or other back treatment, then the treatment may take place with you lying face down, requiring you to strip to your underwear.

Before your Acupuncture Treatment, it’s best to:

Eat. Don’t come hungry.

Hydrate. It’s a good idea to bring at water bottle for after treatment to.

Avoid scheduling more than one treatment on the same day.

Avoid strenuous physical activity in the 2 hours after treatment.

You may feel looser, lighter, relaxed, energised, tired, clear after treatment.

There is a very slight chance of side effects like:

Dizziness during or after treatment.

Extreme tiredness or emotional releases.

Slight bleeding (a drop) or bruising at the site of the needle.

Slight awareness or discomfort at the site of the needling.

Current fee schedule is on each page of this website.

The amount that your health insurance company rebates changes according to your individual extras policy.
