About - Bodhi Health

Luke Paten

Chinese Medicine Practitioner

I first discovered Chinese Medical theory when I was 18 years old. The Chinese Organ theory and concepts sat well with me. In my twenties I studied Yoga Ghi Gung, Hawaiian massage and began studying Chinese Medicine at Victoria University in Melbourne. I loved Melbourne but eventually made the decision to finish my degree in Brisbane at Endeavour College of Natural Medicine.

I enjoy martial arts and have trained an Indonesian form of self defence, called Silat Perisai Diri for over a decade.

My family came after I graduated and my wife and I now have four boys.

I am by no means a perfect person and have made more than my fair share of mistakes in life. In doing so I have understood more about health, wellbeing and being proactive about creating health solutions.

The older I get the more I am impressed with Chinese Medicine and its understanding of human health, particularly emotional wellbeing.

Chinese Medicine is just as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago and it holds fantastic answers for modern people.

My Approach & Values

I aim to put you at the forefront of your own health.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are fantastic therapies to receive on your journey through to better health. They can help bring about balance and improved function physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

When it comes down to it, often small lifestyle habits and decisions that we make in the short term shape our future health.

I provide Chinese Acupuncture and herbal formulas. As well as massage, cupping and moxibustion as needed.

I also aim to provide individually tailored lifestyle advice to help you better manage your health.

Better quality health is a better quality of life.
