Townsville Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Kate Baillie began studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) while working as a veterinary nurse. She saw the positive results on furry family members of the integration of eastern and western medicine at the veterinary clinic. During the 4 year TCM degree in Victoria, Kate  refined her technique, routinely using a combination of acupuncture, cupping, moxa and chinese herbs in her treatments. After graduating, she moved to Cardwell in North Queensland, where she opened the first clinic with her little 7 month old helper in 2009. Tropical Cyclone Yasi came to visit and the clinic had a good swim, then reopened later that year with an additional helper. In 2013, the move to Townsville was made and Townsville Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine opened at Ariya Health on Ingham Road. With the latest addition to the team in mid 2015, the clinic made the final move to Blair Court to improve the team’s work/life balance.
