​

I'm Leah, a registered acupuncturist with a special interest in pain and musculoskeletal conditions. Trained in both traditional Chinese medicine and the health sciences, I practise acupuncture through the lens of modern anatomy, physiology and neuroscience.

​

My training gave me a thorough grounding in traditional theory, but today my practice is guided by current evidence and how the body actually works. I'll explain what I'm doing and why in plain language, and I'm happy to work alongside your GP, physiotherapist or other health providers as part of your wider care.

​

Experience and education

 

I graduated from Endeavour College of Natural Health in Brisbane in 2015 with distinction. I was also awarded the Medal of Academic Excellence for the highest achievement in acupuncture across Australia. I've been a registered acupuncturist since 2016.

​

Teaching has become a big part of my work:

​

• Since 2018: lecturing in acupuncture and biosciences at Endeavour College of Natural Health

• Since 2019: writing and teaching continuing professional development courses for practitioners, in person and online, through my education platform, Acucentrix

• Since 2022: student clinic supervisor at Endeavour, guiding the next generation of practitioners as they treat their first patients

• Alumni representative on Endeavour's Course Advisory Committees for Acupuncture and Biosciences

​

Teaching keeps me up to date with current research and constantly testing how I practise. That benefits every patient I see.

​

A little about me

​

Before healthcare, I worked as a professional musician from the age of 16. I'm also a parent and a trans woman. I know from my own life what it's like to deal with pain and to work through big changes, and I bring that understanding into the treatment room.

​

Whatever brings you in, you'll get the same care, curiosity and attention.

​

I look forward to meeting you.
