In NSW our clinics are located in Sydney CBD, Alexandria, Westmead and the Central Coast. We also have clinics in Victoria in East Melbourne and Mornington.
As industry leaders in Traditional Chinese Medicine for fertility, all of our practitioners are degree-qualified in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, AHPRA registered and have extensive training and experience in reproductive medicine and offer private health rebates.
Our Alexandria Clinic now offers Integrative and multi-modality services including
- Naturopathy and Nutrition (Online consultations available – Australia wide)
We offer acupuncture, including laser acupuncture and electro-acupuncture, as well as Traditional Chinese herbal medicine, coupled with diet and lifestyle advice. We now also offer online naturopathy and nutrition consultations and counselling in some locations.
We believe Chinese medicine can work hand in hand with mainstream health care. We practice in an integrative setting and we work in collaboration with our patients’ medical providers to ensure all patients receive the most comprehensive health care.

WOMEN’S HEALTH
There are a number of different conditions that affect women, that have long been addressed in TCM clinics in China.
PREGNANCY
Acupuncture is often used by pregnant women to promote well being and to address pregnancy related symptoms should they occur.
MEN’S HEALTH
One of the most common reasons couples go to an IVF clinic is male factor infertility. However there are ways to improve sperm health.
MUMS
We know being a mum can be a crazy ride, because they focus on the needs of their family first, mums don’t always get the care they need.
