Where Fate Begins
I had been suffering from severe asthma for a long time since I was two and half years old. Even lying flat for sleep at night was impossible due to difficult in breathing when asthmatic attack occurred. I still remember that traveling between hospitals and home became a monthly routine for the parents. Doctors used every possible treatment options in those days to help me, but unfortunately neither antibiotics nor glucocorticosteroids worked. The episodes came back again after a short relief each time with the main stream treatments. Subsequently, eczema and no-specific colitis developed due to overactive immune system. My health was falling down and the future looked like hopeless.
You can guess, I suppose, it was traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that helped finally. Although it was not an easy experience as the bitter taste from the herbal remedies seems never to be faded in my mouth, TCM treatments dragged me back to the normal track by not only relieving the external symptoms but also rebuilding the internal balance. This was the beginning of the fate between Chinese medicine and me.
My son was born in 2007 where I was working as a senior product manager in Telecommunication industry. At the age of seven months, he gradually revealed similar health issues, weak respiratory system and overactive immune. Unfortunately the main stream medicine hardly worked on it once again. It's like a nightmare was awaking for me at that point of time. After a period of tough time, I was determined finally to start a different life journey towards being a competent TCM practitioner to help my child and even others, similar to those who cured me by applying the ancient wisdoms and philosophies rather than allopathic methods. My destiny was connected with Chinese medicine again strongly and firmly. The story unfolded.
I’ve been passionate about what I'm doing since 2020 where I started the first clinic in Melbourne with a few colleagues. At my perspective the smiling faces of my patients who were relieved from various health issues through TCM methods are the most fabulous rewards, which inspire me to keep going further.
After moving from Melbourne with family, I'd be committed to expanding the healing story here in Toowoomba. I'm dedicated to daily clinical practice with a strong belief that the internal balance and harmony, the goal TCM pursuing, is the real way of healing as I witnessed the miracles it brought out over the past half of my life.
Philosophy
Driven by empathy and compassion, aiming to promote people's wellness, physically and mentally, by not only relieving the apparent symptoms but also targeting the internal imbalance, most likely the root cause of health issues.
Applying a mix of ancient techniques and modern protocols for best practice on a basis of composite factors including chief complains, intrinsic constitution, underlying health risks and the features of the season to achieve the satisfied outcomes.
Treating is not the all for curing. Helping people to learn more about themselves from TCM perspective is one of the most important components in a healing journey.
