Javier Alvarez
Javier’s curiosity for Chinese Medicine began as a child in Mexico when he was fascinated by his father’s use of acupuncture and cupping. His father was a GP who also applied acupuncture and cupping to treat many of his patients back in the 1990s. Although Javier didn’t know it then, he would follow in his father’s footsteps later in life.
Javier completed a Bachelor of Health Science in Chinese Medicine at the Southern School of Natural Therapies. Javier’s areas of interest include psycho-emotional wellbeing and pain management with a particular emphasis on dermatology and facial rejuvenation.
Javier is a firm believer in the unification of body health, emotional health and radiant physical health. Healthy skin is a reflection of the internal state of the body. Javier also has a keen interest in treating musculoskeletal conditions and general health complaints.
Javier has completed a number of accreditations in constitutional facial acupuncture, also referred to as cosmetic acupuncture. Javier’s constitutional facial acupuncture treatments combine individualised body acupuncture aimed to treat internal imbalances, as well as facial acupuncture to give the face more glow and a rejuvenated, younger look.
Javier is a registered practitioner with the Chinese Medicine Registration Board of Australia, Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency and a member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).
