Lez & Lorielle | Our Story
At Deep Water Medicine, we are committed to mastery in our field, a spirit of curiosity and ongoing learning, a strong sense of community, and a genuine dedication to supporting your health.
We are an Acupuncture & Chinese medicine team (both in work & family life) with more than thirty years combined experience to bring you the most comprehensive Chinese medicine health service in the Fleurieu community.
Along with managing your current health concern, we place an emphasis on education & preventative medicine to keep you healthy & flourishing.
Lorielle and Lez met in Sydney while studying their Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Both practitioners understand structural and musculoskeletal disorders. Their training in biomedicine and remedial massage means they use dry needling, trigger points, and motor points alongside traditional Chinese medicine techniques. Together, they offer a broad range of skills to support general health, from neurological disorders and chronic or acute injuries to women’s health. Lorielle primarily focuses on fertility, pregnancy, menstrual disorders, and menopause.
Lez also provides counselling, drawing on recent trauma and attachment theory training. Lorielle is an avid researcher, writer and lecturer (teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students for ten years & publishing academic papers). More recently she is undergoing mentorship in classical Chinese herbalist and neuro-emotional technique training. At Deep Water Medicine, our practice is deeply rooted in the wisdom and tradition of Chinese medicine. This guides our understanding of health as a dynamic balance of body, mind, and spirit. We recognise that health is shaped by both the seen and unseen experiences in our lives.
Our approach acknowledges not only the physical symptoms that are easily noticed, but also the subtle, often hidden impacts of stress and trauma. With advanced training in trauma-informed care and a deep respect for each individual’s story, we offer a safe and supportive environment supporting you in cultivating enduring health and well being.
