Hello, I’m Nikki Hills
I’m a qualified, AHPRA-registered Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, passionate about improving individual health and wellbeing through Complementary Medicine. I treat my patients with the utmost compassion and care, and I am truly invested in your long-term health outcomes. I’m also a born and bred Bayside mum who loves being part of our local community. You’ll often see me around Sandringham Village, playgrounds, or walking our beautiful streets (usually chasing after my rollerblading son)!
My areas of special interest include:
ACUTE & CHRONIC PAIN
This may include general aches and pains, sprains, strains, joint pain, or rehabilitative care. These can be the results of poor posture, sporting, surgeries or traumatic injuries. Recognising the root cause of your pain is key to reducing your symptoms. The TCM philosophy is “Where there is free flow, there is no pain. Where there is pain, there is no free flow.”
EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
Let’s be honest, life can be tough at times. Patients often seek support with managing stress, anxiety, depression, low energy levels, and mood disorders. Using Chinese Medicine principles, I examine the ‘root cause’ of these conditions, and treat how they manifest physically in your body, so you can feel yourself again.
WOMEN’S HORMONAL HEALTH
Whether it be menstrual health and regulation, pre-conception care, IVF support, pregnancy, post-partum support, you are guided through each step in your parenthood journey, from someone who has experienced each step personally.
DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Digestive Health issues are becoming increasingly more common, and they can severely impact day-to-day life. They often go undiagnosed and can leave patients struggling with pain and unpleasant symptoms for years. I seek to understand the underlying issues, in order to provide a more targeted treatment, so that you can get back to Embracing life.
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
Affecting all women at some point, perimenopause and menopause can wreak havoc on a woman’s body. These may include mood swings, insomnia, irritability, hot flushes, brain fog, memory problems, fatigue, and weight gain. Together we develop a treatment plan to ease your path through this phase of life.
INSOMNIA
Insomnia is all-encompassing, and a bad night’s sleep affects every facet of your life, from mental health to your physical wellbeing. When you don’t sleep, the body has insufficient time needed to heal and rejuvenate, potentially triggering a myriad of other health concerns. By restoring good sleep, life somehow seems more enjoyable.
HEADACHES & MIGRAINES
Headaches and migraines are not only common but can be debilitating. Despite this, they can remain undiagnosed, significantly affecting quality of life for those suffering them. Chronic migraine, cluster headache, tension headache, and stress headaches. Working together we identify contributing factors and form a treatment plan, based on your unique presentation.
