Raisa Yap

Acupuncturist

Raisa first encountered East Asian Medicine while pursuing a Bachelor of Physical Therapy in Spain. This interest led her to earn a diploma in Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies (Japanese Remedial Massage) and to further her education with a Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture.

Starting a family while living far from her home country was a challenging period in her life. During her fertility journey, she noticed the overwhelming focus on the egg and the disproportionate emphasis on women’s roles in conception difficulties. This experience sparked her special interest in understanding, educating, and treating Male Reproductive Health. Additionally, she is passionate about supporting families and individuals dealing with “Expat Grief.”

Now a mother of two, Raisa enjoys assisting women through all stages of pregnancy, labor preparation, and postpartum.

She is also a foodie and often shares recipes and talks about her favourite dishes during a session.

Mark moved to Australia from England in 2012, and in 2013 began his formal training in Chinese Medicine at Endeavour College of Natural Health.

During the course of his degree, Mark learnt from a variety of teachers and has spent time in different acupuncture clinics to further advance his understanding of Chinese Medicine.

Ségolène Prats

Acupuncturist

My passion for this medicine began years ago when I was suffering from chronic pain for a very long time. After experiencing acupuncture my sleepless nights transformed into peaceful rest.
Being a Mum of three, I understand how difficult and sometimes complicated looking after your own health can be and I am dedicated to help others to find energy and balance to a busy life. What Eastern Medicine offers is a philosophy that empowers us, it teaches us to listen to emotions, to pay attention to the changes in our body and cultivates our mind.
The body has this amazing ability to heal, always seeking for the perfect balance; acupuncture acts as a guide to help bring the body back to homeostasis. I am passionate about assisting others find the keys to unlock their fullest potential through reconnection with their body and mind.
