Rachel Woo is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioner with over fifteen years of experience in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and TCM Food Therapy. With a background spanning both traditional healing systems and a Master of Brain and Mind Sciences, she offers a wholistic and integrative therapeutic approach tailored to each individual’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

​​​​

In addition to private practice, Rachel regularly teaches Qigong, guiding students in cultivating the body’s vital energy to support self-healing and overall wellbeing through movement, breath, and mindfulness.

 

Rachel has conducted workshops in Australia, New Zealand, China, Malaysia, Nepal, and the Maldives, teaching TCM and Qigong to medical staff, healthcare professionals, and patients in both private and hospital settings. She has also been invited internationally to provide TCM services to several high-profile celebrities, elite athletes, and members of royal families. 

​

Rachel previously held a clinical supervising role at the Sydney Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has also volunteered with the Acupuncture Relief Project, delivering free primary healthcare to rural villages in Nepal without access to medical care. She later extended her volunteering work to a rural village in Malaysia and continues to volunteer locally when opportunities arise.

​

Motivated to delve deeper into the roots of TCM and the transformative power of Qigong & Taichi, Rachel journeyed to the Wudang Mountain Range in China, where she became a student of Li Shifu. Guided by his wisdom, she developed a profound connection with ancient Daoist medicine, integrating it into a more expansive and comprehensive healing practice.

​

Rachel's areas of focus include women's health (menstrual issues, hormonal imbalances), digestive health, mental health (anxiety, stress management), musculoskeletal conditions, and chronic pain management (headaches, migraines). Deeply aware that an imbalanced diet and unsettled mind are key contributors to chronic illness, Rachel works with patients to reconnect with their body’s innate capacity for healing.
