| Profile |
Vivienne Williams trained as an Acupuncturist in Australia and has over 25 years’ experiences in Chinese Medicine, including Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs and Tui Na. She is also a Counsellor and is an accredited Counselling and Psychotherapy Educator.
Currently she is operating a part time clinic in East Kew.
At present Vivienne divides her time between her practice and being a full time academic at Victoria University where she lectures in Chinese Medicine, Counselling and business management.
Vivienne’s training and experience as an acupuncturist is extensive with many visits to China (the home of Acupuncture) over the last few years where she has undertaken further clinical training within the hospital system in Beijing and Liao Ning, and Jinan in China. In 2005 Vivienne was invited by the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine to lecture in Acupuncture to the Chinese students. Living and working in Beijing for 6 months gave Vivienne many opportunities to be involved in hospitals and clinics.
Vivienne’s philosophy when working with her clients is to support them in taking responsibility for their health and well-being. This may require changes in diet, increase exercise and looking at one’s emotional and spiritual well-being.
What is Chinese Medicine?
Chinese Medicine originates as one might image in China and dates back some 5000 years. Chinese Medicine includes the use of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and Tui Na.
Acupuncture is a system of treating imbalances in the body with the insertion of fine needles into acupuncture points, which are situated on meridians, these run all over the body. The meridians move the body’s “Qi” or life forces around and when one becomes unwell it is perceived that there is possible a blockage of “Qi” in a meridian causing disharmony. By inserting needles into the acupuncture points the practitioner can move the “Qi” around unblocking the meridians and restoring well being to the body.
Chinese Herbs are usually taken in the form of pills to restore well-being.
Vivienne specialises in Obstetric Acupuncture and Women’s Health and well-being and works extensively with women with problems ranging from PMT to infertility, IVF, morning sickness, and general well-being during pregnancy, inductions, and delivery. Vivienne also works with new borns to alleviate colic and gastric reflux.
This specialised service requires a close relationship between practitioner and patient. The emotional highs and lows of Obstetrics require a deep trust. Vivienne attended her first birth as an Obstetric Acupuncturist some 23 years ago in a country hospital. Since then she has worked in many of the major hospitals in Melbourne and has attended many home births both in Victoria and N.S.W.
Acupuncture can help with the induction of labour, and during labour, reducing contraction pain, emotional stress, and dilation of the cervix.
Vivienne also becomes a support person once the acupuncture has completed is task and labour and delivery are advanced.
