Luke Paten

Chinese Medicine Practitioner

Helping busy people reduce pain, calm stress, and restore balance — naturally.

I was first introduced to Chinese Medicine at 18, and the Organ system and its deeper philosophy immediately resonated — it simply made sense. In my twenties, I explored Yoga, Qigong, and Hawaiian massage, and began formal studies at Victoria University in Melbourne before returning to Queensland to complete my degree at Endeavour College of Natural Health in Brisbane.

Alongside this, I trained for over a decade in Silat Perisai Diri, an Indonesian martial art that deepened my understanding of body awareness, discipline, and resilience.

Not long after graduating, family life began. My wife and I now have four boys — my greatest teachers and constant reminders of the realities of busy modern life.

I’m not a perfect person, and like everyone, I’ve made mistakes. Those experiences have shaped how I practise — with perspective, patience, and a strong belief in being proactive about health, not just reactive.

The older I get, the more I see how deeply Chinese Medicine supports emotional wellbeing — something many people are quietly struggling with today. Despite being thousands of years old, its wisdom remains incredibly relevant, offering practical tools for navigating the physical and emotional demands of modern life.

My Approach & Values

My role isn’t just to treat you — it’s to help you understand your body so you can stay well long term.

At Bodhi Health Acupuncture, the goal is to help you take charge of your own health. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are time-tested therapies that restore balance and support function — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Small daily choices shape long-term wellbeing. That’s why treatment is only part of the process — we work together to create sustainable change.

In clinic, care may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, cupping, and moxibustion, tailored to your needs. Clear, personalised lifestyle guidance helps you stay on track between sessions.

Better health isn’t just fewer symptoms — it’s a better quality of life.

I work best with people who want to be involved in their health — those ready to understand their body, make small changes, and take a proactive role in their wellbeing.
