About Nicola

BTCM (SITCM), DipCCM, PGDip Canonical CM (ICEAM), Adv Cert Internal Medicine Acupuncture (China), CMBA, ANTA, Fellow (Tan Balance Academy)

Nicola is a traditionally trained Chinese Medicine practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience, drawing on the rich traditions of East Asian Medicine to support people with a wide range of health concerns. She has a particular interest in women’s health, chronic and complex illness, digestive health, cancer support, and nervous system regulation, including trauma and PTSD. As a trauma-informed practitioner, Nicola is committed to creating a safe, inclusive and neurodivergent-friendly space where people feel genuinely heard, supported and respected.

Nicola completed a five-year full-time Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Her clinical training included internships with two of Sydney’s most respected Chinese Medicine practitioners—four years under Daniel Deng and three years under David White—providing a strong clinical foundation across a broad range of conditions. She is also a Fellow of the Tan Balance Academy under Sonia Tan and completed an internship at Guangzhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China, training across dermatology, paediatrics, gynaecology, oncology and internal medicine.

Her interest in Herbal medicine and the healing arts began early in life and deepened while living in the Netherlands, ultimately leading her to Chinese Medicine and the broader traditions of East Asian Medicine—a system of healthcare she has devoted herself to ever since.

Nicola also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Canonical Chinese Medicine from the Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine (ICEAM). She has a deep appreciation for the classical medical texts of the Han Dynasty and continues to study them to deepen her understanding of health, disease and the relationship between the human body and the natural world.

Her approach is thoughtful, collaborative and highly individualised. Nicola combines Chinese Medicine, using Acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy and lifestyle guidance to support both immediate concerns and the underlying patterns contributing to illness. Where appropriate, she also incorporates gentle Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) techniques to help regulate the nervous system, supporting resilience in people experiencing chronic illness, stress-related conditions and the lasting effects of trauma.

As a mother of two young children, Nicola understands firsthand how health needs change throughout the different seasons of life. She believes the best outcomes come through working in partnership with each person, empowering them with the knowledge, tools and confidence to take an active role in their own health and wellbeing.
