Elleni graduated from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) with a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine where she was the highest ranking student in her graduating year. She completed further study at the Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China where her focus was in Women and Men’s Health and Sexual Dysfunction.  She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Sydney majoring in Biological Sciences.

Elleni’s journey into Eastern medicine began during a quest for better health where she discovered a love of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. She strives to grow on a personal and professional level through attending Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine conferences and has learned from influential master practitioners.

In 2018 Elleni completed a postgraduate program in the Labour and Delivery Unit at NYU Langone Health Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. She attended vaginal births and provided acupressure and tui-na to patients as part of an Acupuncture team which collaborated with nursing and medical staff to investigate the potential for symptom relief throughout labour, delivery and postpartum. She also had the opportunity to observe caesarean sections, administration of epidurals and induction of labour.

Earlier in 2018, Elleni travelled to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas, Mexico, where she trained modern and Mayan traditional midwives in Acupuncture. In exchange for the knowlede and experience she passed on to help these communites she recieved so much in return from these amazing women, including ancestral wisdom and practices. This experience enhanced her skills and fueled her interest in traditional medicines and cultures from around the world.

Elleni specialises in Sexual Health and Dysfunction, Reproductive disorders, Male and Female fertility, Pregnancy and Postpartum care, Traumatic Injury and Chronic disease. She empowers her clients to be involved in all aspects of their healing journey and works collaboratively with medical providers to complement their care.

Elleni travels back home to Australia a few months out of the year. Please reach out to see if she will be back in her home town of Sydney if you would like a consultation.
