JOURNEY

Alice’s journey in healthcare traverses western medicine (microbiology, genetics) and eastern medicine (shiatsu, acupuncture and chinese medicine), plus body movement and alignment strategies from many yoga and dance classes along the way.

Her most recent nerdy interest involves learning neurology basics; how the cranial nerve inputs are able to calm and reset the nervous system. She combines this knowledge with her acupuncture sessions.

STRENGTHS

Alice is passionate about letting the world know the secret of acupuncture and chinese medicine being amazing for improving and/or maintaining your holistic health and well-being throughout different phases of your life.

In her treatment sessions, Alice uses:

• stretches and gentle body movements to enhance your sessions

• understanding of body movement, body alignment and body structures for improving body posture, to minimise or counteract the effects of daily habits (like being hunched over a keyboard daily)

• acupuncture, chinese medicine and other techniques

PERSONAL

Outside of work, Alice loves hanging out with her dog and reading books while drinking coffee and teas. She loves cooking; she’s currently experimenting with healthier recipes as her partner thinks she’s conspiring to make him fat.
