Call me Nicci, Nicki, or Nikki (I really don't mind)

Whether brief intervention for injury  recovery, or a more complex health condition, Chinese  Medicine  looks at blood flow, organ function, energy and body balance to support a bigger picture of what it means to heal and be well.              

​

I was introduced to Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine after my own health journey post glandular fever.  Since training nearly 20 years ago, it has become a way of life.  As well as clinical practice, I have spent time time working in mental health support environments, taught health science subjects in a variety of tertiary institutions and worked with many different health conditions in private practice around Christchurch.​  At home I have shared treatment with my family and children. Integrating principles of Chinese Medicine as a more holistic way of life.

​

Science is discovering more about Traditional Chinese Medicine.  Much of the symbolism is simply a way of  describing well-being in which each part of the  body works in harmony with the others to sustain homeostasis (balance) and overall health. 

​

​​​As well as local treatment for specific conditions the  holistic nature of treatment offers a unique opportunity to support the nervous system with  relaxation.     The beauty in the medicine is that if you can take the opportunity to calm the mind, the body will follow with more balance to support healing.

​

Part of my personal wellness regime is to ensure I am exercising and enjoying the outdoors. I love living in Christchurch.  In summer you will find me sailing on Lyttelton harbour, walking in the port hills and enjoying my garden.

​

In winter I tend to hibernate to recharge and you will find me in my pottery shed crafting ceramics.
