About Penny
Bachelor of Health Science
Acupuncture BHSc (TCM-Acup)
“My approach is quiet, responsive, and tailored to the individual. Every person’s body has its own language—acupuncture is a way to listen and support it.” ~ Penny
Panagiota (Penny) is a qualified and dedicated practitioner of Chinese Medicine, holding a Bachelor of Science in Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture) from Endeavour College of Natural Health with formal training in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).
Penny’s extensive training includes acupuncture needling techniques, moxibustion, cupping, gua-sha and tui-na massage, and health lifestyle recommendations. Firmly committed to continuous personal and professional development, she has trained under a number of respected teachers from across the world that specialise in different styles of acupuncture. This includes training under Japanese acupuncture instructors who emphasise softer, minimalistic techniques, as well as classical Chinese teachings that explore the secondary channels—specialised pathways that are additional to the more widely used meridians in modern practice, expanding the range of clinical applications. This breadth of learning has shaped Penny’s holistic, thoughtful, and responsive style of care.
Her special interests encompass a range of conditions, including pain management of musculoskeletal conditions including headaches, acute and chronic pain, restricted movement or loss of mobility in limbs from injuries and various causes. She also assists with women’s health concerns such as menstrual cycle imbalances, menopause support, and pregnancy support. Additionally, Penny addresses digestive health issues and fatigue, while providing assistance with stress management, mild anxiety, and insomnia.
Penny brings warmth, curiosity, and care to every session, working collaboratively with patients to support sustained well-being and balance.
A Personal Journey: Penny’s Experience with Chinese Medicine
“My journey into Chinese Medicine began with my own experience of illness. For a long time, I had been dealing with health issues that weren’t improving, even after seeking conventional approaches to health. A friend encouraged me to try acupuncture, something I hadn’t considered before. I went in with no expectations, but the results were surprising and positive. Not only did my condition improve, but I found myself feeling more energised, less stressed, and more uplifted.
The experience left such a deep impression on me that I decided to study and dedicate myself to this path. I’ve never looked back. Now, as a practitioner, I’m constantly inspired by the way acupuncture can quietly support the body’s own healing intelligence. Every person I see in the clinic brings a unique story, and I see my role as gently listening through conversation, touch (palpation), and observation to what their body is asking for.
It’s a privilege to do this work, and I feel most fulfilled when I see someone walk out of a session looking lighter, with more colour in their complexion, calmer, or simply more themselves” ~ Penny
What to expect during treatment
“I take time to work with you, not just your symptoms.”
Each session begins with a conversation to understand your current state of health and personal goals. Penny uses diagnostic techniques such as pulse reading, tongue observation, and palpation to gain a holistic understanding of your energy and internal patterns.
During the treatment, she may continue using palpation as a feedback tool, adjusting needling techniques in response to the body’s signals. This creates a truly individualised and dynamic experience tailored to your needs.
After the session, you may feel calm, grounded, or pleasantly drowsy. If possible, allow some time to rest and integrate the treatment into your day.
How Acupuncture Works On the Body
“In ancient China, Chinese medicine was used to preserve health—not just treat illness. This timeless approach invites us to care for the body before imbalance takes hold” – Penny
Acupuncture can be used as a complementary and supportive treatment alongside Western medicine. Unlike the biomedical model, acupuncture is based on an energetic understanding of the body. Rather than focusing solely on disease, it identifies and treats energetic imbalances that give rise to illness.
Using the key principles of Yin and Yang, acupuncture assesses the state of Qi and other vital substances within the body’s meridian system to detect patterns of disharmony, such as blockages or imbalances with the goal of restoring equilibrium.
As balance is reestablished, wellbeing returns to the body, mind, and spirit. This holistic approach supports emotional and physical health, guiding the body toward homeostasis its natural state of biological regulation.
