Yana Francis Acupuncturist & Chinese Herbalist (CM, MRMed)

My practice is dedicated to women's healthcare through every stage of life, with a particular focus on gynaecological health.

Women's health is recognised as a distinct area of practice within the field of Chinese medicine, with its own diagnostic and treatment framework developed over thousands of years. Practically, this means I support menstrual, hormonal and reproductive health, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause, pain management, and women’s overall wellbeing.

I work in a way that is grounded in traditional Chinese medicine and informed by modern medical science and reproductive medicine. I take a holistic view of your health, considering your physical wellbeing, emotional health, menstrual cycle, lifestyle, and health goals to create an individualised treatment plan that supports your individual needs.
