Sonic will be commencing at NIIM on Friday 17th January 2025
Sonic Searle
BSc, BHSc
Doctor of Chinese Medicine
Background
I began my journey in healthcare with a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne, where I majored in neuroscience and physiology, with the original intention to pursue a degree in medicine. Dealing with some health issues of my own, I derived great benefit from Chinese medicine which led me to pursue further studies in Chinese Medicine.
During my Chinese Medicine studies, I had the privilege of expanding my knowledge internationally. In 2018, I spent time living and studying in China, immersing myself in the cultural roots of the traditional practice. The following year, I completed an internship at the Tzu Chi Hospital in Taiwan, working in their Integrative Medicine Department. This experience was transformative, as it allowed me to see how Eastern and Western medical approaches can work together to provide comprehensive care.
I am passionate about using this blend of science and tradition to help patients achieve optimal health. My goal is to provide patient centred, holistic care that empowers individuals to take charge of their well-being, drawing on the best of both worlds to create personalised treatment plans and help patients achieve their health goals.
