Ahil’s Story
Two worlds of medicine,
one practice
Ahil grew up between two worlds of medicine. His mother is a passionate General Practitioner and his father a keen advocate for natural medicine, so from a young age he learned to value both conventional and complementary care. That led him to study naturopathy, and later acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In his younger years, Ahil lived with chronic fatigue syndrome. He went from a busy, athletic young man to someone who found everyday tasks hard. It was a challenging time, and it gave him a patient’s understanding of persistent fatigue and of the patience care can take. It also deepened his commitment to looking at health as a whole.
He completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) and a Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, then worked in busy clinics in Bondi and Matraville with desk-bound professionals, athletes and everyone in between.
Today Ahil practises from Project Dao in Alexandria, combining acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and naturopathy in one coordinated approach: the same meeting of two worlds he grew up with.
How Ahil Can Help
One practitioner, five treatments
What each treatment involves and what it is most often used for. Ahil may combine them, depending on what you need.
Acupuncture
Fine, single-use sterile needles placed at chosen points and usually left for about 30 minutes. Acupuncture is most often used for muscle and joint pain, such as back, neck and shoulder pain; results vary from person to person.
Chinese herbal medicine
A formula chosen for your individual situation and current concerns, mostly as granules you mix with water. It is often used for broader concerns such as digestion, stress and fatigue; results vary from person to person.
Naturopathy
A close look at diet, sleep, stress and lifestyle, with herbal and nutritional advice where it fits. Initial visits are in person, and follow-ups can be online.
Cupping and gua sha
Traditional techniques that work on the muscles and soft tissue, commonly used for muscle tension; results vary from person to person. Usually part of an acupuncture session.
Moxibustion
Gentle warmth from smouldering mugwort held near the skin, used in Chinese medicine to warm and support circulation. Smokeless moxa and an extractor keep the room clear.

Eastern wisdom and modern techniques, the best of both worlds
