Adrian Taricani

Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner & Acupuncturist

Adrian has dedicated his clinical career to supporting patients in achieving their health goals. He completed Sports and Remedial Therapies qualifications in 2002, before following his passion and studying Chinese Medicine — graduating as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner in 2012.

After graduating, Adrian sought out leading teachers in his field. He trained with renowned acupuncturists in Bangkok, Beijing, and the USA — learning advanced methods of pulse diagnosis and herbal medicine from masters in New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles.

Today, Adrian practises from Georgetown, Newcastle, combining classical acupuncture with modern clinical techniques, soft tissue therapy, and advanced pulse diagnosis to deliver genuinely personalised care.

“Helping people is the greatest gift I get for doing what I love.”
