AACMA 2640 CMR 1740464

Anni is a doctor of Chinese Medicine in her 14th year of practice.  Anni has seen hundreds of women and their families across experiencing issues relating to reproductive health, pregnancy and post-natal recovery.

After graduating from RMIT in Melbourne, Anni traveled north and first worked in Canberra for 3 years before settling down in Sydney. Anni grew up in a culture where Chinese medicine was commonly used, and she first encountered acupuncture as a teenager and found it helpful for a sprained ankle. Back then, Anni perceived acupuncture as something used mainly for sporting injuries, however after years of training, and clinical experience she appreciated the broad scope of acupuncture. Anni feels thankful and grateful for the knowledge preserved and passed down from the many Acupuncture and Chinese medicine teachers that have gone before.

Anni loves cooking and she avidly perused creating an herbal garden filled with locally grown Chinese herbal medicinal plants, however, the possums and wild rabbits have also enjoyed the plants and thwarted this plan somewhat. Anni enjoys the challenge that comes with every patient and works with them to help them achieve their goals. Patients usually walk away with ‘homework’ so they are also a part of the healing process in their fertility journey. Also- Anni and husband Eric, operate a Chinese Medicine postnatal service called Confinement Care, which has helped hundreds of women for their post-natal recovery in Australia.

Anni is known for her calm, caring and practical approach and in-depth traditional Chinese dietary advice. She is also the proud Mum of two boys!
