Tino is a registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner with qualifications in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. He is passionate about Chinese medicine and is dedicated to assisting in the treatment of pain and dysfunction.

After completing a certificate of massage in 1998 Tino realised that his passion was in Chinese Medicine, and his thirst for knowledge saw him embark on an eight year study journey.

Tino graduated with an Advanced Diploma of Health Science (Acupuncture) from the Australian College of Natural Medicine in 2001, Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture) in 2002, Bachelor of Health Science (Musculoskeletal Therapy) in 2006, and Master of Applied Science (Chinese Herbal Medicine) from RMIT in 2007. During this time, Tino also gathered valuable experience by working at several busy clinics around Melbourne.

As well as treating patients, Tino lectures at the Endeavour College of Natural Health (formally the Australian College of Natural Medicine), teaching in both the remedial therapies and oriental medicine departments. He has also lectured extensively at Swinburne and at Victoria University. Tino has written articles and presented at seminars for the Australian Association of Massage Therapy and appeared on The Healer’s Way on channel 31, and 9am With David and Kim on channel 10
