Meet Our Acupuncturist - Jiaoping Ao (JP)
Growing up in a Chinese household, Chinese medicine philosophies were naturally embedded in her family's daily life without much thought or question. Jiaoping entered the Traditional Chinese Medicine degree with curiosity towards this practice after witnessing a heated debate amongst Chinese netizens following Tu Youyou’s Nobel winning in 2015. Initially, her goal was to understand the logic and science behind this practice. She began to unravel and appreciate the major positive impacts TCM has had on her family and friends' health. She saw the immense potential for TCM to help manage symptoms associated with chronic diseases and improve individual’s overall quality of life. She has also visited Cheng Du Chinese Medicine University for clinical observation as part of her study. During her stay, she was fascinated by the broad scope that TCM can be implemented.
Jiaoping is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as an Acupuncturist, Chinese Medicine Herbalist and Herbal Dispenser. Jiaoping also has a membership with the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).
Outside of TCM, Jiaoping enjoys building Gundam models and offline games during for leisure. She advocates that a practitioner has to be in a healthy state in order to provide the best treatment to their clients, thus, she is proactive and conscious with her own physical and mental wellbeing, incorporating the TCM theories of life cultivation in her daily life, just as she recommends to her clients.
