Patchula Thompson
Meet Patchula
Doctor of Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture
Patchula is a nationally registered Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Herbalist under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). She is deeply passionate about supporting women throughout their fertility journey—from preconception and assisted conception through to postpartum care.
Her commitment to truly seeing and hearing her patients is shaped by her own personal experience with infertility, having undergone five years of IVF treatment to conceive her daughter. This journey has given her both a profound empathy for the emotional and physical challenges of fertility struggles, as well as first-hand experience with IVF protocols and treatments.
Throughout this time, Patchula dedicated herself to extensive study and research into how Chinese Medicine can best support fertility. Her deep knowledge in this area allows her to provide highly informed, compassionate, and personalized care to her patients today.
In addition to her work in Chinese Medicine, Patchula brings over 12 years of experience teaching yoga, pranayama, and meditation. She thoughtfully integrates these mindfulness practices into her treatments, drawing on her research into nervous system regulation. By combining acupuncture, cupping, massage, and relaxation techniques, Patchula ensures each session leaves her patients feeling supported, balanced, and deeply relaxed.
