Hi, I’m Dr. Emily Borozan.
My path to Chinese Medicine has been shaped by a deep respect for the body’s innate intelligence and its capacity to heal when supported with compassion and understanding.
With a background in Naturopathy and an Advanced Diploma encompassing three years of herbal and nutritional studies, my approach is grounded in both tradition and education.
Growing up in a European family where we grew our own food, I developed an early appreciation for the role of diet, culture, and simple living in long-term health. Today, I’m passionate about empowering my patients with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed — supporting you to feel informed, confident, and active in your healing journey.
I have a particular interest in supporting mental wellbeing, including stress and anxiety, as well as gut and skin health — recognising the close connection between digestion, immunity, and how we feel in our bodies. Women’s health is also especially close to my heart, including menstrual cycle regulation, period pain and PMS, fertility and IVF support, pregnancy care, and perimenopause and menopause.
My own healing journey further deepened my connection to this medicine. During a challenging period in my life, where I experienced an eating disorder, Chinese Medicine played a meaningful role in supporting my recovery and helping me rebuild trust in my body.
It brings me immense joy to offer a safe, supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered in your health journey. I’m here to walk alongside you as you uncover a stronger, healthier, and more connected version of yourself.
We love Emily’s calm presence and the genuine care she brings to our clinic.
She has a beautiful ability to truly listen, helping patients feel safe, understood, and supported. Her thoughtful, holistic approach and quiet empathy create a space where healing feels both grounded and empowering.

Hello! I’m Dr. Ashini, and I’m so thrilled to share my passion for Chinese Medicine with you.
My journey into this incredible healing system began with my own experience managing a chronic skin condition—psoriasis. Driven by curiosity and a deep desire to heal naturally, I explored holistic approaches to health and discovered the transformative power of Chinese Medicine.

Whether its assisting with scheduling, answering questions or offering support, my goal is to ensure a seamless experience whilst helping individuals on their personal journey.
