Dr. Alana Green (TCM)

My name is Alana and I am here to share with you my story while nurturing you through this season of your journey.

I know what it feels like to not have direction with your health and the impending doom of asking yourself questions like:

“When am I ever going to feel better again?”

“Is this possible for me?”

These are the deep insights I gained as a teenager and ultimately what has led me to be a health practitioner.

I was born in Melbourne and raised in a small country town in South Gippsland, Victoria.

I was inspired to pursue Chinese Medicine as a career due to the limited Integrative health care that was available in country and rural Victoria at the time.

I graduated from RMIT University and undertook an internship at the renowned Jiangsu Provincial Hospital in Nanjing, China in 2015. Over the past 9 years, I have gained experience from working in various regions in Melbourne and in rural country Victoria alongside prolific doctors and practitioners.

My special interests include a wide variety of concerns such as IVF support, natural fertility support, gynaecological conditions, digestive conditions, autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, nervous system dysfunction, musculoskeletal injuries and pain.

Outside of the clinic I am an elite athlete, competing in the Pole Vault discipline.

I love running workshops and events, so I host a side hustle called “Yogapuncture” where I collaborate with other practitioners to provide yoga, community acupuncture, pilates and holistic workshop style classes around Melbourne.

My goal is to bridge the gap between Modern medicine and Chinese Medicine; to enable my patients and the wider community to benefit from an Integrative medical model.
