Patients and Practitioners Empower Interactive Team Work

December 12, 2023

Building Connections between the Patient and Practitioner

In traditional Chinese medicine, the appreciation and teamwork between clients and practitioners are crucial to your healing journey. 


When you begin your healing journey at one of our clinics, you may already know a lot about your health concerns, because no one knows your body better than you do. Because of this, our practitioners focus on listening to you, and understanding your problems individually so that they can then piece together what will help your overall body balance.



How We Build These Connections

The practitioners at our clinics are like project managers within a team. They work to understand all of the specific aspects of your health, highlight any concerns, and empower you to work towards better health and peace on your healing journey. We empower you by introducing an integrated healing approach to your health and well-being, to ensure that we are supporting a complete picture of your health. 


We then hope to give you the opportunity and tools to become happier outside of the clinic, and practise understanding and caring about your own health throughout your everyday life. In this team environment, we all have our unique roles in improving your health, and by working together with our different knowledge sets, we think together to assist you in your healing and learning journey, with your guidance.

Traditional Chinese herbal medicine involves a complex structure of natural ingredients that provide important benefits, and work together to treat your body holistically. Herbalists can create a unique formula for personalised treatment based on an individual assessment, and analysis of your symptoms, patterns of disorders, history, and experiences. From here, the specific herbs can be chosen to best suit your needs, and work through the patterns of imbalance within your mind and body. Traditional herbal medicine is one of the main methods of healing therapies. Other health professionals such as naturopaths also tend to work with herbal therapy, however with Chinese herbal medicine there is a structured formula of the herbs that are used. Herbal prescriptions incorporate around 3-30 herbs depending on what will benefit your specific healing, and how the herbs, and their specific groups, interact and work together to support your overall balance and wellbeing.
