What's Zhong?
Zhong is the first character in the Chinese script of ‘Chinese Medicine’. It loosely translates to Upright, Zen, Central and Centre.
Zhong is a symbol of ‘returning to balance’. This has been our sign and inspiration behind our practice for a long time. It only seems ‘zen’ to expand not only our practice but our name to represent this too.

What We Value At Zhong Centre
Our Team
Dr Abbie
“When a woman’s cup is full, she looks to then fill her loved ones cups, when they are full, she looks to fill her community and neighbourhood; when they are full, she then looks to the world around her to look after and nurture it too. This is my reason for being – just filling up cups one at a time to overflow into the world around us.
When one woman does great – the whole world is lifted, you can’t do great things when you’re focusing on sucking in your tummy or not smiling fully because of crow’s feet!”

This incorporates general health in the body with body acupuncture, combined with “Zhutzhing” aka aesthetic acupuncture to help the best features of the face bringing anyone an extra glow.
As a registered Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner Dr Matt also enjoys combining Chinese Herbal formulas and lifestyle changes at home to achieve the best results for his special clients. While cosmetic and dermatology health is his special interest, Dr Matt also has a keen passion for other health issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community.
