About
About Holly — Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Massage Therapist Acupuncturist
Holly holds a Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture) and is AHPRA-registered. Private health rebates are available.
With six years of clinical experience — including time working in fertility clinics, performing IVF transfer acupuncture, a year practicing in Spain, and a background in Sydney before relocating to Melbourne — Treatment at Carlton Massage TCM is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine theory — using TCM diagnostic frameworks including tongue and pulse diagnosis, pattern differentiation, and an understanding of qi, blood, yin, yang, and organ system relationships to identify what's driving your symptoms.
This is paired with an evidence-informed approach, drawing on current research to guide clinical decisions and treatment planning.
Holly works with clients experiencing muscular tension, headaches, musculoskeletal discomfort, pain, fertility challenges, digestive concerns, nervous system dysregulation, and stress. For clients dealing with fluid retention, post-surgical recovery, immune support, or chronic inflammation, Holly also offers Lymphatic Drainage Massage — a gentle, specialised massage technique.
“I woke up this morning with a lot of tension, so I decided to get a massage along with cupping and acupuncture. It was such a relief. I felt instantly more relaxed, exactly what I needed. Holly was very calm, genuine, and created such a safe space. She made the whole experience even better. I feel so much better after, definitely coming back!”
