Our Degree Qualified Practitioners

Dr. Sadika Husain

Acupuncturist & Chinese Medicine Practitioner

Sadika is an AHPRA registered Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner who is known for her calm, nurturing nature and her ability to create a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered. She has a particular interest in fertility, women’s health, chronic conditions, and mental-emotional wellbeing, and is passionate about supporting people through their own healing journeys.

Her journey into Chinese medicine was inspired by a transformative personal experience with acupuncture, sparking a deep passion for the medicine and its ability to create meaningful change.

She enjoys integrating Chinese medicine with modern health information such as blood test results, scans, and other clinical findings to support a deeper understanding of each patient’s health and guide personalised care.

Her vision is for Chinese medicine to become part of everyday healthcare, a first line of support within a system that has been practised for thousands of years.

Outside the clinic, Sadika enjoys quiet time at home with her family, learning through in-person seminars, and spending time in nature. Wherever you are on your health journey, Sadika is committed to guiding you with care, clarity, and intention.
