My name is Max Ma, and I was a senior technical expert from the high-tech industry who transitioned into Traditional Chinese Medicine due to a deep passion for holistic health. Since 2004, I have been self-studying TCM, which has allowed me to explore its profound principles and practical applications.

Over the years, I have dedicated myself to learning from multiple renowned Chinese masters in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and pulse diagnosis. Through their guidance and my own clinical practice, I earned qualifications in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in New Zealand, solidifying my expertise in these areas.

I currently split my time between working in my own work studio and collaborating with different clinics across Melbourne. This allows me to meet the diverse needs of patients from various regions and income groups. By offering access to Traditional Chinese Medicine in different locations, I aim to uphold my philosophy of providing equal and accessible healthcare to all, ensuring that more people can benefit from the healing power of TCM regardless of their background or circumstances.

After years of clinical research and exploration, I have developed my own unique methods of tongue and pulse diagnosis, as well as signature acupuncture techniques. I excel in the use of pulse diagnosis, tongue diagnosis, and abdominal diagnosis to accurately assess my patients’ health conditions. By integrating traditional methods with modern insights, I create personalized treatment plans that address both acute symptoms and long-term well-being.

I prioritize the use of classical Chinese herbal formulas, known as Jing Fang, which have been passed down for over 2,000 years. These formulas are characterized by their minimal use of herbs while delivering remarkable effectiveness in treating a wide range of conditions.

My approach emphasizes the organic integration of medical treatment with lifestyle adjustments, dietary optimization, and physical exercise. I aim to help patients boost their energy levels and achieve comprehensive health improvements, focusing on not only treating immediate ailments but also enhancing overall vitality.

My specialties include treating a wide range of internal diseases, managing pain through acupuncture, and addressing gynecological disorders, etc.

After living in New Zealand for 10 years, my family and I moved to Melbourne, Australia, where we began an exciting new chapter in our lives. I am a father of two children, and we also have a beloved Labrador as part of our family.

I enjoy a wide range of hobbies, from reading and outdoor activities to diving. In recent years, my interests have gradually shifted towards more introspective practices, including tea ceremonies, incense rituals, meditation, and Chinese Qigong. These activities help me cultivate inner peace and balance, complementing my work in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
