BHSc (Acu), Registered Acupuncturist

Hi there. I’m Bridgette, but call me Bridge. I'm a registered acupuncturist with a broad range of interests including musculoskeletal complaints (such as back, shoulder and neck pain), women’s health issues (including period pain, fertility, menopause) and conditions relating to immunity (allergies, IBS, fatigue and more). But whatever the problem is for you, I look forward to helping you with it.

My interest in Chinese medicine began as a patient. I’d been suffering migraine pain since I was four years old. After years of different medications and therapies, I decided to visit an acupuncturist for treatment. I experienced what can only be described as ‘inspirational change’. To feel alleviated to this degree, after decades of excruciating pain, was extraordinary to me. Plus, there weren’t any side effects!  I then learnt acupuncture can contribute in a similar way for a significantly broad range of health issues. Now that I was feeling better, clearer, I thought about what I wanted to do with my life. It was a no-brainer. Becoming a Chinese medicine practitioner was my future. This was how I wanted to help others.

Now I’m an experienced acupuncturist, using the method taught by Evolve’s Jeff Shearer, designed to achieve better outcomes while using fewer needles. Our consultations may also include Chinese herbal recommendations, diet and/or exercise advice to support your recovery. It all depends on what you need and what feels manageable to you. It’s important you feel heard and cared for throughout the treatment. Then, together, we can create a health plan that suits your particular situation. The ultimate goal? You're feeling good and enjoying life.

Let’s talk about it.
