Traditional Chinese Medicine, delivered with a modern, evidence-informed mindset.
At Zen, Chinese medicine sits alongside remedial massage as a full clinical practice — not an afterthought. Consultations combine traditional diagnosis with contemporary understanding of pain science, sleep and recovery.
A holistic approach to concerns people bring us most.
Chinese medicine works with the whole person. Below are the areas Dr. Leo most often supports — always alongside your regular GP, physio or specialist care.
Pain & musculoskeletal
Neck, shoulders, lower back, sciatica, joint pain, headaches and long-standing tension.
Sleep & stress
Support for restless sleep, low energy, mood balance and nervous system regulation.
Digestive support
Bloating, sluggish digestion, reflux and general gut comfort — approached from a TCM view.
Immune & seasonal
Support through Hobart winters — colds, hay fever, sinus congestion.
Women's health
Menstrual, perimenopause and general reproductive wellbeing support.
General wellbeing
Regular treatments to keep energy, mood and recovery ticking through busy periods.
Dr. Leo
Dr. Leo leads our Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture practice at Zen. Consultations combine a traditional TCM diagnosis (pulse, tongue and detailed history) with acupuncture, cupping and — where indicated — an individually formulated Chinese herbal prescription dispensed from our clinic.
Sessions are calm, unhurried and always tailored to your presentation on the day. Full practitioner registration details will be added to this profile shortly — please contact the clinic if you'd like these ahead of your first appointment.
Acupuncture
Sterile, single-use, hair-fine needles at specific acupoints. Most sessions leave you feeling deeply calm.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Individually formulated granule and raw herbal prescriptions, dispensed on-site after a full TCM consultation.
Cupping & Dry Needling
Add-on techniques often used alongside acupuncture or remedial massage for stubborn tension.
