During a fateful school soccer match at the age of 15 Scott sprained
his ankle. Fortuitously, he was advised to see a "Chinese medicine man"
by his coach.
When inside the Chinatown acupuncture clinic, the pungent smell ofrnherbs and the precision of the acupuncturist all seemed strangely
familiar to Scott, which he can only describe as if he "was coming
home". This experience left a long lasting impression, one that would
determine his life path in years to come.
During his formative years, Scott enjoyed martial arts, athletics,
team sports and a natural curiosity for understanding how thingsrn'work'.
By the time he was 20, he was juggling full-time carpentry work
around a part-time remedial massage business and Kung-Fu training. Itrnwas all smooth sailing until his back was severely injured from lifting
concrete slabs, a turning point in life which led him to the healing
art of Qi-Gong, initially as a self healing technique.
The next several years saw Scott develop his interest in Qi-Gong,
and to teach Qi-Gong workshops at health retreats in Australia.
Subsequently, his alignment with the philosophies of the Chinese
healing arts led to more formal studies of Chinese Medicine. In pursuit
of further learning he travelled to Asia in 1996. The highlight of this
journey for Scott, was working as an acupuncturist and massage
therapist at Kalubowila Hospital in Sri Lanka at the free acupuncture
clinic.
On returning to Australia in 1998, Scott advanced his studies inr
Chinese Medicine. Today Scott works along side Sports Physicians andr
General Practitioners in Sydney's CBD, specializing inrnmuscular-skeletal problems and stress related illnesses.
Scott's passion and curiosity for understanding how things 'work',
continues to inspire him. He now defines his life's work as a healer torninclude listening attentively, understanding compassionately and
inquiring insightfully to assist positive change into peoples' lives.

Fertility Acupuncture and how it can help getting pregnant
So what is it about Acupuncture that has this amazing power? After all…it’s just a few stainless steel needles with nothing on them or in them, how could they possible make any difference? Acupuncture is the art of understanding the nature of disease or weakness within someone’s body, seeing where the imbalances are and then balance them again by moving the body’s energy around.

It’s in my DNA…It’s in my genes….Or is it?
“I’ve got digestive problems, I think it’s just who I am, my mother also gets it, her mother had it, it’s in our DNA; it’s in our genes!” It’s a common statement I hear all the time. Whether someone has a physical illness, an emotional challenge, a re-occurring relationship pattern or a sleep issue, it seems to always be referred as being part of their genes or their DNA because where else could it come from?

Anxiety – a vicious cycle
Have you ever noticed tapping of the foot, continual picking at the body, finger nail biting, fiddling with things, pacing up and down, starting something, then moving onto another project before the first is finished. Or cleaning something then going back to clean it again? Not you, someone you know or have experienced in others? Well, this is anxiety! Anxiety represents a constant flow of hot blood that disturbs the mind, starving it of rest and depriving it of valuable peace. Anxiety begins in the mind as a reaction to a fear.
