Dr. Andre is a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, a teacher of Qi Gong, a holistic wellness consultant, and a man who practices what he preaches. In 2006 Andre earned his Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon, voted best TCM education in the USA since 2014. He then deepened his understanding of Chinese medicine with a clinical internship at the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, China’s oldest and most highly regarded university for TCM. Since then, Dr. Andre has been focusing on the treatment of musculoskeletal pain conditions for nearly 20 years. His treatments primarily consist of a combination of Tuina Chinese remedial massage, various forms of acupuncture, herbal, dietary, and exercise recommendations.
Dr. Andre is a native of North Carolina, in the United States, and he comes from a family full of healthcare practitioners. His passion for healing started at a young age, and has carried on through his life until today. After earning his Bachelors Degree in Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA, in 2001, Andre worked in pharmaceutical research for three years. The experience led him to develop a more direct and personal approach to fulfill his passion for healing – “My personal philosophy is to live my life in a way that can teach others as well.”
Throughout his career, Andre has practiced Chinese Medicine in the United States, China, Thailand, India, and now in Melbourne Australia. He uses a combination of Chinese and Taiwanese styles of acupuncture, Spirit of the Points acupuncture, Tuina Chinese medical massage, Chinese herbal medicine, Moxibustion, Cupping, and Qi Gong in his treatments.
