Chinese Herbalist & Acupuncturist

DIANAH RODRIGUES, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with 18 year’s experience, integrates the best in ancient and modern approaches to health care. 

She incorporates the latest techniques of low level laser therapy and EEG biofeedback, along with the more traditional practices of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicines, to provide a holistic dynamic approach to health.  While she treats a variety of complaints including pain and injury, immune compromises, women’s problems, migraine, headaches, fatigue and lethargy, she believes that the key to health is restoring and maintaining harmony among the body’s systems and between individuals and their environment.

Dis-ease is reflected through the individual’s pattern of signs and symptoms as well as physiological signals (eg. blood pressure, heart rate, brainwave activity).   She uses these observations to develop a comprehensive strategy to help patients achieve healthier patterns of functioning, thus reducing the need for medication. Dianah holds a Master of Science degree, has published papers in international journals, and is an integral member of a research team exploring the foundations of traditional Chinese medicine from a non-linear dynamic perspective.  With a busy practice in Sydney, she moved to Newcastle in late 1999 where she began a family, combining practice and research. 

She now brings her clinical skills to The Wellness Centre and will be available for consultations on Mondays and Wednesdays.
