Massage Therapy in Carlton
I'm an AHPRA-registered TCM practitioner, acupuncturist, and massage therapist based in Carlton. I work with clients dealing with ongoing pain, tension, stress, and hormonal health, combining massage with acupuncture and other TCM modalities based on what each person's body needs.
What Is TCM?
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a system of care built around acupuncture points, meridians, and how the body's internal balance affects pain, stress, and overall function. Rather than treating a single symptom in isolation, TCM looks at how different systems in the body relate to each other — which is why the same tension or fatigue can have different underlying causes from person to person.
What I Treat
Pain and tension — neck, shoulder, and lower back pain, often related to desk work, training load, or old injuries
Stress and nervous system regulation — poor sleep, or a body that stays wired even at rest
Women's health and fertility support — using acupuncture and massage together to support hormonal balance, alongside your existing care
General wellbeing — digestion, energy, and lower-grade symptoms that don't show up clearly elsewhere
Every case is different, and treatment is planned around your history and presentation rather than a fixed program.
How I Treat It
Each session starts with a proper assessment — how long the issue has been present, what affects it, and what else might be connected (sleep, stress, digestion, cycle). From there, I draw on:
Acupuncture, including Kiiko Matsumoto-style Japanese acupuncture
Remedial and relaxation massage
Cupping and gua sha
Chinese herbal medicine, where appropriate
I also work with a polyvagal-informed approach to the nervous system, and collaborate with GPs and other providers where it's relevant to your care.
