Dr. Savoula Zakis
Doctor of Chinese Medicine
AHPRA Registered, Acupuncturist, Certified Reiki I & II Practitioner, Certified Hypnotherapist
Dr. Savoula, to most known as Sav, is a positive, warm and caring practitioner of Chinese Medicine who established her clinic in 2001.
She came to holistic medicine as a patient looking for a better way to help her own health concerns. After seeing how Chinese Medicine and natural therapies treated her holistically and effectively, she decided to become a Practitioner in Chinese Medicine.
Sav completed her degree in 2000 after completing a 1 month advanced clinical practice in China, working alongside Chinese Medicine Doctors in the Shen Yang Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Alongside Chinese Medicine, Sav is also a practitioner of Reiki II, hypnotherapy and has learnt varying massage techniques which enable her to help her patients on a deeper level. Her healing touch is undeniable, as this allows her patients to feel that deep sense of relaxation that encourages and accelerates their own healing response. Sav uses a combination of therapies in her treatments including: acupuncture, massage, cupping, spooning ( guasha), moxibustion, electro acupuncture, reiki, diet and lifestyle advice with optimism.
Sav is very passionate about helping people reach their full health potential and educates her patients on their innate healing power, whereby acupuncture is the catalyst to finding their inner balance. She believes that what she offers helps reignite their health in the right direction. Her belief of “prevention is better then cure”, means that Sav empowers each and every patient to understand their lifestyle habits, diet, exercise, sleep patterns with continued guidance and care.
Sav has the highest empathy for every patient which sees her treating numerous health conditions like pregnancy care, women’s health, fertility, musculoskeletal conditions/pain, stress/mental health, digestive imbalances and general health maintenance.
Outside of being a practitioner, Sav is also an active mum, who lives with her husband and two beautiful kids. She loves quality time with her family, being amongst nature and the outdoors, dance, yoga, pilates, movies, laughing and adores the newest additions to her family - her mini lop bunnies Kyoshi and Yuki :)
