Meet Madeleine
Doctor of Chinese Medicine | Acupuncturist | Chinese Herbalist

Madeleine (Maddie) is a registered Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncturist, and Chinese Herbalist with a deep passion for supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of individuals and families through all stages of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Her practice is grounded in the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, enriched by advanced training with renowned practitioners including Steven Clavey (Chinese Herbal Medicine) and Kirsten Wolfe (Fertile Life Method and Fertile Life Mastery). Maddie has a special interest in supporting menstrual health and fertility, and is honoured to work alongside people as they navigate the many transitions into, through, and beyond parenthood.

Maddie’s connection to Chinese Medicine began in childhood, with the familiar scent of her mother’s herbal brews lingering in the family kitchen. But it wasn’t until she faced her own persistent and seemingly unresolvable menstrual condition that she turned to the medicine for her own care. That experience ignited a lifelong respect and love for the medicine, which deepened through her own pregnancies, postpartum recoveries, and breastfeeding journeys.

Today, Maddie brings that same nurturing care to her clients. A consultation in a warm, welcoming space where you are truly seen, heard, and supported. She offers a holistic, personalised approach that honours the interconnectedness of body, mind, and environment. Treatments may include gentle acupuncture, custom-formulated Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha - along with a soothing cup of tea.

Maddie is a registered practitioner with the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA) and AHPRA, and a proud member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA). Private health fund rebates are available and can be claimed online after your session.

In addition to one-on-one sessions, Maddie offers AcuSound sessions on the last Monday evening of each month - a restorative experience where acupuncture, sound bowls, and guided meditation come together to help the body and mind unwind. These group sessions are designed to create stillness, space and reduce stress in a supportive, soothing environment.
