What is Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient system of healing that dates back more than 3000 years. It is a holistic approach to health and wellbeing which views the body, mind, and spirit as a single entity. It is based on the belief that energy, known as qi, flows through the body and is responsible for health and wellbeing. Accompanying the correct flow of qi, ones body must also have a correct balance of Yin and Yang within.
Common treatment methods used in TCM include acupuncture, herbs, moxibustion, cupping, tuina, exercise and diet. TCM is based on the belief that the body's vital energy, or qi, must be balanced in order for a person to be healthy. As such, It's holistic approach to health looks at how a person's physical, mental and emotional wellbeing are all connected and impact one another.
Practitioners seek to restore balance and harmony in the body, mind, and spirit by balancing the qi, as well as lifestyle changes to implement outside of treatment itself.

Dr. Jesse Georgiadis (Founder and Head Practitioner)
Dr. Jesse graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Applied Science (Chinese Medicine). Through his studies he was fortunate enough to live in China for 4 months, allowing him to complete an internship in a hospital that integrated both western and Chinese medicine. Through this experience Jesse was able to see the real impact of having both types of medicine work alongside one another.
Because of this, Jesse takes a holistic approach to healthcare, advocating for both alternative therapies and conventional medicine.
Jesse is a fitness advocate and has a background in martial arts, so he understands what it’s like when the body isn’t working quite right, both mentally and physically.
