Services at
Port Melbourne Traditional Chinese Medicine
At Port Melbourne Traditional Chinese Medicine, we work with the understanding that no single system of care can do everything.
That’s why we offer a truly integrative approach, blending the time-honoured wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern naturopathy, osteopathy and personalised support.
You don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for. Many of our clients come in with a single concern and discover along the way that their care can be deeper, more connected, and more effective when approached holistically.
Below, you’ll find an overview of each service we offer. If you’re not sure where to start, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to guide you through what might be most appropriate for your needs.
Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Your first appointment includes a full health history, lifestyle discussion, tongue and pulse diagnosis, and a gentle, tailored acupuncture treatment. Herbs may also be prescribed, either in raw, powdered, or capsule form depending on your preferences and goals.
Suzette takes a calm, collaborative approach to every session. Many clients say they feel both physically relaxed and emotionally lighter after their treatment.

Naturopathy

Initial appointment: 60 minutes | Follow-up: 30–45 minutes | Telehealth available
Naturopathy is a modern natural medicine approach that focuses on identifying root causes and supporting your health through evidence-based tools like nutrition, herbal medicine and functional testing.
Kylie’s consultations are thorough, grounded and practical. She takes the time to understand what’s happening in your body and life, and builds a plan that fits realistically into your routine.
-

Based on this, Kylie may recommend herbal tinctures, tailored nutrition support, or lifestyle adjustments. Plans are emailed post-session for clarity and reference.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy | Osteopathy
with Maite Indaburu
Initial appointment: 60 minutes | Follow-up: 30 MINUTES
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on how your body moves, functions and holds tension. It combines hands-on treatment, movement support, and postural insight to help ease pain, improve mobility, and support structural balance.
Maite offers calm, intuitive sessions for people of all ages — and has a particular interest in working with neurodivergent clients, including children, teens and families.

A typical session includes a full physical assessment, hands-on treatment (such as muscle release, joint mobilisation or gentle alignment), and personalised guidance to support your body between sessions.

Lower back pain and hip discomfort
Neck tension and headaches
Postural strain from work or parenting
Chronic tightness or movement restriction

Not Sure What You Need?
That’s completely fine. Many clients come to us knowing how they feel, but not what to ask for. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
We’re always happy to point you in the right direction — whether that means booking your first consult, talking through options, or referring you to someone else we trust.
