Dr. Michele Downes BHSc. (Chinese Medicine)
Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine
CMBA, AHPRA, ATMS
I’m Michele, a registered Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner, who is dedicated to providing quality complementary healthcare to the community.
My TCM journey began in 1999 following a serious car accident which left me in chronic pain and unable to work. My rehabilitation was improved greatly with the aid of remedial massage, leading me to study and qualify as a remedial massage therapist.
Exploring complimentary treatments to support my clients, I discovered the unmistakable healing power of TCM and was drawn to pursue study in TCM and was awarded a Bachelor Of Health Science (Chinese Medicine) from Think Education. As a qualified practitioner my focus is to educate clients and provide a holistic alternative that bridges the gap with western medicine.
I treat people with many conditions and have a particular interest in supporting people with fertility concerns, pregnancy, menopause, chronic pain, and mental health related symptoms.
My approach is 100% holistic. Each person is unique, and my belief is that by understanding all aspects of a person’s health (both mind and body), treatment can be tailored to deliver ongoing management of health concerns to support achieving your long-term health goals.
Since Michele qualified in 2016, she has spent substantial time advancing her acupuncture techniques by training through various styles including Neoclassical, Master Tung, Dr Tan and Dr Zhu Scalp Acupuncture.
On Mondays and Thursdays, I practice at 29 High Street, Kyneton, VIC 3444. One Wednesdays and Fridays, I practice at Gisborne Health Essential, Gisborne VIC 3431. I service areas such as Gisborne, Kyneton, New Gisborne, Gisborne South, Macedon, Mount Macedon, Clarkefield, Woodend, Riddells Creek, and surrounding areas.
I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your health needs.
