OUR VISION
To provide Chinese Medicine to the community on the Surf Coast in a safe and holistic environment that is trauma informed. We intend to do so in a grounded way, supporting individual's to feel more natively themselves.
We love to see people feeling supported, moving towards a more balanced and healthy life, which will often see more harmony, less pain, more energy, focus, and clarity.
Chinese medicine sees all disease to be rooted in spirit and we treat from this standpoint recognising that the body, mind and spirit are not separate.
THE SPACE
The treatments are in a inviting holistic space where you can truly relax. Think dried eucalyptus, natural objects collected from nature, smells that delight the senses, and sounds to send your nervous system to rest.
It is our vision is to provide a space that supports change at many levels. Everything is done with intent and where intent is focused this is where energy flows. A truly clear energetic space; a beautiful place to drop in and let go.
Grounded Medicine's
Therapist
Samantha is a qualified and passionate Doctor of Chinese Medicine (in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine).
​
From a young age she has had a strong interest in the interconnection of the mind, body and spirit. You will often find her head buried in a book on psychology; perhaps on trauma's effect on our physiology or how attachment styles affect our relationships.
​
In her previous life (as she calls it), Samantha studied and worked in Finance. After experiencing ill health and burn out she realised she wasn't suited to this lifestyle, so she went to India to study Traditional Tantra Yoga. She taught yoga in Amsterdam before she went back to India to immerse herself in further study of modalities such as Tai Chi, Reiki, Meditation, and crystal healing.
It was during her time in India she experienced the profound effects of regular acupuncture treatment and decided to study Chinese Medicine.
​
Samantha’s treatments support your ability to transform obstruction that is preventing you from living your best life. This may be manifesting as physical, emotional or spiritual symptoms; or perhaps a combination.
Samantha is deeply passionate about mental health and woman's health, having experienced menstrual migraines, incapacitating dysmenorrhea (aka: period pain), trauma, and mental health issues herself. She is also a general practitioner and can treat a range of conditions ranging from digestive issues to low immunity, pain to musculoskeletal issues.
Samantha truly believes most imbalances have an emotional component and loves to treat from this perspective.
