Cristina is passionate about Chinese Medicine and regularly attends specialised courses to further broaden her knowledge. She recently completed a two year training at the School of Classical Chinese Herbalism obtaining a Licentiate in Classical Chinese Herbalism.

​

Before becoming an acupuncturist, Cristina worked as a pharmacist within the industry and community sectors. During her years as a community pharmacist, Cristina became passionate about learning complementary therapies to further benefit patients. Cristina became particularly interested in acupuncture after having experienced the benefits of acupuncture treatment first hand.
 

In her clinic, Cristina is amazed at how acupuncture can help promote physical and emotional wellbeing, while being drug and virtually side effect free. Cristina combines her knowledge of Western and Traditional Chinese medicine to provide individually tailored holistic treatments. As part of the treatment, Cristina offers dietary advice and uses techniques such as Tui Na, Cupping, Guasha, Moxibustion and Electroacupuncture. She now offers Chinese herbs in conjunction with acupuncture or as a stand alone treatment.
