Andrew's first exposure to acupuncture was at age 14, when his father started using acupuncture to treat racehorses, he was already interested learning to be a vet and after a couple of years watching it work on horses and he decided to try the phenomena for myself.

The experience of having acupuncture changed his mind about becoming a vet to an Acupuncture Physician for people.

Andrew graduated in 1997 from the oldest and most prestigious Acupuncture Colleges; The Endeavor College of Natural Medicine (formally The Australian College of Natural Medicine) with an internship Mater private hospital- Palliative care unit, Brisbane Australia.

During his study as an acupuncturist, he trained and worked as a massage therapist and an ambulance officer, after graduating he joined a medical surgery in New South Wales and underwent specialized training in using advanced acupuncture techniques to prevent surgery, speed post-operative recovery and reduce old adhesion/scar tissue related disorders.

After several years Andrew went on to establish a holistic primary care clinic in with Medical Doctors, Acupuncturists, Nutritionists, Massage therapists for several more years, before deciding to travel and explore deeper into the culteral background of Oriental medicine.

Andrew left the clinic in Australia and spent the next 5 years living, working and researching in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam where Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used continuously for the last 2,000 years and of course he also went to China.

When in Asia, Andrew practiced acupuncture in health resorts, medical spas, private clinics and trained local therapists in advanced science-based techniques and western standards of care.

Andrew left Asia to started practicing acupuncture on cruise ships for several years until moving to the US, whilst gaining licensing and board certification he started lecturing and developing courses for American School of Natural Health and remains on the faculty but now focuses on full time practice.

Andrew established Acupuncture Clermont (2019) where he offers his knowledge and expertise in using acupuncture to stimulate the bodies ability to regulate and repair itself.
