“Having developed an early interest in natural medicine and wellbeing influenced by my childhood naturopath and travels in Asia, I chose acupuncture to study and focus on. With evolving experience and inspiring peers my regard for modern/western medicine grew. I felt compelled to broaden my knowledge in specialized fields and seek colleagues who shared my ethos in integrated health.”

Kerry has returned to live in Australia after 14 years in the UK. She is a registered acupuncturist with the Chinese Medicine Registration Board (CMRB) in Victoria. Kerry is also an overseas member of the Bristish Acupucnture Council.

A Healthy Conception and Beyond

In London Kerry worked alongside a team of expert professionals in the field of Fertility and Obstetrics both in complimentary and Western Medicine disciplines. Kerry has extensive knowledge of assisted reproduction techniques (ART). Her approach is to support women and couples wanting to conceive, through pregnancy and delivering a healthy child. For some this will be a more natural process but for many ART will be introduced. Studies have proven acupuncture to be an effective adjunct to IVF improving conception rates and live births.

Birth Attending & Support

Doula is a universal word now used to describe a birth support person. Kerry has attended many births as an acupuncturist and a doula. Kerry trained in London with respected obstetrician Michel Odent and combines doula skills with her knowledge of acupuncture and acupressure methods. Each women has unique birthing wishes, Kerry will meet and discuss these with you prior to the birth. Birthing is intimate and precious, attracting the right birth attendant to support you is fundamental to the experience.

Acupuncture

After a health diagnosis identifying your unique imbalances Kerry will choose acu points and gently insert fine needles often retained for around 20 minutes. Cupping or a herb called Moxa may also be used within the treatment. Acupuncture aims to restore the body to a normal function addressing physical symptoms as well as mental and emotional imbalances. If your health complaint is relatively minor or tricky to identify acupuncture and a complimentary approach is appropriate. When you have advanced health issues combining acupuncture with Western Medicine is often necessary.

Kerry treats a number of health issues including and not limited to: Gynaecology, PMT, fertility, pregnancy, children, insomnia, back pain, cold and flu symptoms, IBS, headaches, digestive complaints.
