Services

Personalised care across every chapter of your health.

Every treatment begins with understanding your unique health story. Whether you are navigating hormonal changes, preparing for pregnancy, managing a chronic condition or seeking relief from ongoing symptoms, your care is shaped around your needs, goals and stage of life.

01

Women's Health

Women's health concerns are often complex and deeply personal, yet many women are told that painful periods, heavy bleeding or hormonal symptoms are simply something they have to live with. Melanie believes every woman deserves to feel heard, understood and supported, with care that looks beyond symptom management alone.

Whether you are navigating painful or heavy periods, irregular cycles, PMS, PMDD, endometriosis, adenomyosis or other gynaecological concerns, your treatment plan reflects your individual health history, symptoms and goals. Chinese medicine recognises that no two women experience the same condition in exactly the same way.

The aim is not only to ease symptoms, but to support hormonal health, improve quality of life and help women better understand their bodies through every stage of life.

02

Preconception Care

Preparing for pregnancy is an opportunity to support your health before conception. Whether you are planning to start trying in the coming months, have recently stopped contraception, or would like to optimise your reproductive health, your care plan is shaped around your circumstances and goals.

Preconception care may focus on cycle regulation, ovulation support, reproductive wellbeing, nutritional status and lifestyle factors that contribute to fertility. Care is available for both women and men, with recommendations developed to support a healthy foundation for conception and pregnancy.

As every fertility journey is unique, your plan is personalised to your health history, current concerns and future plans.

03

Fertility & IVF Support

Whether you are preparing to conceive naturally, navigating fertility challenges or undergoing assisted reproductive treatment, care is personalised to your fertility journey.

Chinese medicine is commonly used alongside IVF, IUI and other fertility treatments, working in conjunction with your existing medical team. It may support cycle regulation, ovulation, reproductive wellbeing, embryo transfer preparation and overall health throughout the treatment process.

Support is also available for patients experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss, unexplained infertility, endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS and male fertility factors. Each plan is individualised, taking into account your health history, current circumstances and treatment goals.

Fertility treatment can be physically and emotionally demanding. Care extends beyond reproductive health to provide guidance, continuity and personalised support throughout what can often be a complex and challenging time.

04

Perimenopause & Menopause

Hormonal change often begins years before a woman's final menstrual period. Perimenopause can bring changes in sleep, mood, energy, cognition, menstrual cycles and overall wellbeing, often at a time when many women are balancing busy careers, family life and caring responsibilities.

Melanie provides compassionate, evidence-informed care to support women through every stage of this transition. Your treatment plan is shaped around your individual symptoms and may address concerns such as hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, sleep disturbance, fatigue, brain fog, irregular periods and emotional wellbeing.

Every woman's experience of menopause is unique. Whether you choose to use menopausal hormone therapy, are looking for complementary support alongside your medical care, or prefer a non-hormonal approach, the goal is to help you navigate this chapter with greater confidence, comfort and quality of life.

05

Pain & Neurological Conditions

Chronic pain and neurological symptoms can have a significant impact on quality of life, affecting work, family life and daily function. Melanie has a particular interest in supporting patients experiencing migraine, vestibular migraine, vertigo, PPPD, neuropathy, CRPS and persistent musculoskeletal pain. Each plan is developed with the individual in mind, with an emphasis on improving function, supporting recovery and helping patients return to the activities that matter most.

06

Digestive Health

Good digestive health is fundamental to overall wellbeing. When digestion is not functioning well, it can affect energy, nutrient absorption, immunity, hormone balance and quality of life. Chinese medicine takes an individualised approach, recognising that people with the same diagnosis often experience very different patterns of symptoms.

Melanie provides personalised care for a range of digestive conditions including IBS, SIBO, bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, nausea and functional digestive disorders. Care may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, dietary advice and lifestyle recommendations aimed at supporting digestive function and long-term symptom management.

Where appropriate, care is provided alongside your GP, gastroenterologist or other healthcare providers to ensure a collaborative, evidence-informed approach.

07

Men's Health

Male reproductive health plays an important role in overall wellbeing and contributes to almost half of all fertility challenges experienced by couples. Whether you are preparing to conceive naturally, undergoing IVF or seeking support for your general health, your plan is personalised to your presentation and goals.

Melanie provides care for male fertility, sperm health, preparation for assisted reproductive treatment, low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, stress, sleep concerns and digestive health. Treatment may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and lifestyle guidance to support both reproductive and general health.

Every consultation begins by understanding the factors contributing to your health concerns, recognising that lifestyle, stress, nutrition, hormonal health and overall wellbeing all influence men's health. The aim is to support not only fertility, but long-term health and wellbeing.

How We Work

How treatment may support you.

At Dr Melanie Wells Chinese Medicine, care is never one-size-fits-all. Every patient presents with a unique combination of symptoms, health history and goals. Following a comprehensive consultation, treatment recommendations may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, dietary guidance and lifestyle support.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a core component of Chinese medicine and may be used to support reproductive health, hormonal balance, pain management, neurological conditions and general wellbeing. Each session is shaped around your individual presentation and treatment goals.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years to support health and wellbeing. Herbal prescriptions are carefully selected and individually prepared, often working alongside acupuncture to support fertility, menstrual health, menopause, digestion, sleep and overall health.

Collaborative Healthcare

Melanie regularly works alongside GPs, fertility specialists, gynaecologists and other healthcare providers, ensuring patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care where appropriate.

IVF Treatment Support

Supporting you around time-sensitive fertility procedures.

Fertility treatment rarely follows a predictable schedule, and we understand that important procedures don't always fall within standard clinic hours.

Embryo transfers, egg collections and other fertility procedures are often arranged with little notice and may require treatment support at specific times.

To assist patients undergoing IVF treatment, flexible appointment availability may be offered around time-sensitive fertility procedures, including weekends where possible.

If you are unable to find a suitable appointment online, please contact the clinic directly. Every effort will be made to accommodate IVF-related appointments when timing is critical.

Telehealth

Chinese herbal medicine consultations, wherever you are.

Telehealth consultations are available for Chinese herbal medicine appointments, allowing patients across Australia to access personalised care from the comfort of home. This service is particularly suitable for fertility support, women's health, menopause and chronic health concerns where ongoing guidance and herbal prescriptions may be beneficial.
