Dr Chris speaks with Dr Chantelle Muellner and Dr Angus Timms, registered acupuncturists from New Brighton, New South Wales. Chantelle and Angus met in their first year of study at Endeavour college and they have now both been practicing for over 3 years since completing their degrees. Together they have recently taken over a health clinic, renovated and rebranded. Formally known as The Jade Tortoise Clinic of Natural Health, now known as The Health.

Both Chantelle and Angus are passionate about treating general health. Angus focuses more specifically on joint pain, acute injuries/ conditions, athlete preparation and rehabilitation, whilst Chantelle focuses more specifically on hormonal health, fertility and pregnancy.

Located just north of Byron bay, their practice offers the expertise of multiple allied health practitioners, providing a wealth of knowledge and support for their patients all under one roof. In just a few short years following graduation, they have gone from students with a passion for acupuncture to trailblazing business owners with eyes set for a world of new possibilities.
