Pure Alchemy Philosophy
Here at Pure Alchemy, our philosophy is to provide the utmost care to each client to facilitate the conditions which allow the body to heal I itself naturally.
Nature is a powerful force when used wisely and can be harnessed appropriately to assist us. Our clinic was inspired with this in mind, offering a relaxing and comfortable space.
I’m Anissa Au
I am all about life, and how we can live as well as we can on this earth!
I’ve always had a passion for natural health, after all, why not make use of its abundant resources.
When I’m not at my acupuncture clinic in Cronulla, you’ll find me practising my Qigong, meditating, hiking in the wilderness or wild swimming. I also love spending time with a good book or enjoying hearty soul food with good company.
My life hasn’t always been this balanced, in fact I started off working for large banks, telecommunications and was even a sub-contractor for the defence. I wasn’t unhappy, but I wasn’t thriving.
Since changing careers, I feel my work is now more in line with my beliefs, and because of that, it is a pleasure to do what I do each day.
It’s been a huge change and a huge adventure. I am grateful for every phase of my life, as it has refined and fortified who I am.
Every day, I am grateful the adventure continues.
“We must treat each person as an individual with certain needs, and an amazing capacity to heal when given the right environment”.
Anissa has been practising since 2007 as a registered Chinese Medicine consultant. In our day and age where time is short and people are extremely busy, she believes that healing absolutely requires proactive, empathetic listening to understand the root cause of ailments, good communication to convey understanding, good knowledge of the craft, and a passion for healing.
The focus of each treatment is to address the manifesting symptoms, but to also look at the underlying cause. This is done through a mixture of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage, dietary and lifestyle advice. No two people can be treated the same, and thus must be addressed differently.
'Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better'.
