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

​​​

In addition to private practice, Rachel has conducted workshops in Australia, New Zealand, China, Malaysia, Nepal, and the Maldives, teaching TCM 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. In 2016, she 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 efforts to a rural village in Malaysia, and continues to volunteer locally when the opportunity arises.

 

Motivated to delve deeper into the roots of TCM and the transformative power of internal martial arts (Taichi, Qi Gong) in enhancing self-healing and overall wellbeing, Rachel journeyed to the Wudang Mountain Range in China, the birthplace of Taichi, 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 (hormonal imbalances, menstrual issues), digestive health, mental health (anxiety, depression), 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 is dedicated to promoting healthy eating, mindfulness, and sustainable living.
