I’m Carina — second-generation Chinese medicine practitioner, acupuncturist, and the founder of Wellness Corner TCM.

I’ve had the privilege of growing up immersed in the world of Chinese medicine. From a young age, I watched my mum care for her patients with a steady hand and an open heart. She created pathways for people who felt stuck — and now, I’m honoured to carry that same torch in my own practice.

I support individuals through all kinds of health journeys with a particular focus is on fertility and reproductive health, for both women and men. Whether you're navigating IVF, preparing for natural conception, or managing hormonal imbalances, I offer gentle, tailored care that meets you exactly where you are.

My motto is simple:
"We don’t know if a problem is too big or too small unless we talk about it."
I believe in listening deeply, asking the right questions, and creating a space where nothing is dismissed or overlooked.

The Way I Work

My philosophy is both Chinese and Western medicine have important roles to play in supporting our health. Rather than seeing them as opposing systems, I view them as different approaches that can complement each other when thoughtfully combined.

Western medicine often focuses on diagnosing and addressing problems as they arise, while Chinese medicine takes a more preventative and holistic view — aiming to support the body’s natural balance before symptoms escalate. In my practice, I work to find that point of balance that works in real life, where the strengths of both systems can be integrated to best support your individual needs.

This is especially helpful for clients navigating fertility, hormonal health, or stress-related concerns, where a gentle, ongoing approach can offer meaningful support alongside medical treatments or on its own.

What I Value

• Individualised Care – Every person is different, so every treatment should be too.

• Clarity & Communication – I take the time to explain what’s happening and why.

• Shared Success – The greatest thrill in this work? When my patients succeed, I do too. That’s a tangible, heart-felt result I take great pride in.

Who I Support

While fertility is at the heart of my clinical focus, I welcome clients with a wide range of concerns — from stress and fatigue to menstrual irregularities, digestive issues, and general maintenance care.
