Madeleine, also known as Maddie, finds profound joy in supporting the mental and physical health of parents along their journeys, leading up to and throughout parenthood, utilising the wisdom of Chinese Medicine.

She also offers compassionate child led care to paediatric patients, nurturing their emotional wellbeing and physical health via gentle treatments and herbal formulas. 

At Holding Space Chinese Medicine, you’ll find a welcoming environment where you are seen, heard and supported.

• Immune support and much more
  

Treatments with Maddie may include gentle acupuncture, herbal prescriptions, warming moxibustion, cupping and gua sha - along with a comforting cup of tea. She is an AHPRA registered Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturist, Chinese Herbalist, AACMA member, mother and gardening enthusiast.
