My Heritage: A Foundation in Healing
 

My journey in Chinese Medicine began long before my formal training. I grew up inspired by my grandfather, Professor Hao Gang (郝刚).

He was a renowned Chinese Medicine practitioner and the Headmaster of the Nanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine University. In his lifetime, he received 23 creative awards, served at the PLA Air Force General Hospital, and was among the first scholars to present on Chinese herbal medicine at Harvard University in the 1950s. His name is written on China's list of famous practitioners, and his legacy is the foundation of my practice.

​

My Journey: The Pursuit of Mastery
 

Building on this foundation, I dedicated my life to mastering the art and science of acupuncture.

Elite Education: I completed a five-year medical degree, followed by a Master's in Acupuncture at China's top universities.

World-Class Clinical Practice: I was a research assistant at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM) and later conducted my Master's research at the Acupuncture Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (CACMS) in Beijing. This is the same prestigious institute that produced the Nobel Prize winner, Tu Youyou.

Mentorship Under Masters: During my time in Beijing, I was fortunate to practice and study under many of China's most famous acupuncture professors, including Prof. Jinhong Yang, Prof. Zhongchao Wu, and Prof. Shaogong Shen, and was highly recommended by the legendary acupuncturist Prof. Shennong Cheng.

A UNESCO World Heritage Lineage
My commitment to the art’s purest form was solidified in 2015 when I became a formal disciple of Professor Zhang Jin (张缙).

Professor Zhang is a representative lineage holder for Acupuncture & Moxibustion, an art form so significant it is inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

This means the needling techniques I use are not just effective; they are part of a protected, world-class lineage passed down from master to disciple.

​

Bridging Worlds: From Beijing to Sydney
 

Since 2011, I have been proud to bring this world-class knowledge to our local community in Maroubra.

I am not just a practitioner; I am a teacher and a researcher.

As a Teacher: For six years (2011-2017), I was a lecturer at the Endeavour College of Natural Health, teaching Chinese herbal medicine and formulas to the next generation of Australian practitioners.

 

As a Researcher:

 

My quest for knowledge continues. I am currently completing my PhD in Chinese Medicine Diagnosis at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). My research focuses on clinical thinking and diagnostics, ensuring the care you receive is not only rooted in ancient wisdom but also informed by the latest scientific understanding.
