Dr. Xiao brings over 10 years of specialized experience in women’s health, with particular expertise in fertility support, gynecology, and postnatal care. Her approach goes beyond treating symptomsโshe works to understand and address the root causes of health concerns, creating personalized treatment plans that support the body’s natural healing processes.

Specialised Services for Women’s Health
Fertility and IVF Support
If you’re on a fertility journey, you’ll appreciate the compassionate, evidence-informed approach to reproductive health at Qi Flow Wellness. Acupuncture and TCM treatments can support natural fertility, help regulate hormonal balance, and work alongside conventional IVF protocols. Many women find that these treatments help reduce stress, improve circulation to reproductive organs, and create optimal conditions for conception. Partners are also encouraged to explore how TCM can support overall reproductive health and stress management during this journey.
Pregnancy Wellness
Pregnancy brings its own set of physical challenges, from morning sickness and fatigue to back pain and anxiety. Naomi specialises in pregnancy massage, offering safe and nurturing care throughout all trimesters. Her remedial massage techniques can help ease common pregnancy discomforts, reduce swelling, improve sleep quality, and provide much-needed relaxation during this transformative time.
Pregnancy massage sessions are tailored to specific needs and trimester, using specialized positioning and techniques that ensure both comfort and baby’s safety. Whether dealing with sciatic pain, round ligament discomfort, or simply needing time to relax and connect with a changing body, Naomi’s expert care provides a sanctuary of support.
Postnatal Recovery
The postnatal period is often overlooked, yet it’s one of the most crucial times for long-term health. At Qi Flow Wellness, they understand that recovery doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. Dr. Xiao’s postnatal TCM treatments focus on restoring the body’s balance, supporting hormonal regulation, addressing postpartum fatigue, and helping the body heal from the inside out.
Postnatal massage with Naomi can also play a vital role in recovery, helping to ease muscle tension from feeding and carrying your baby, supporting the body as it returns to its pre-pregnancy state, and providing precious moments of self-care during the demanding early months of parenthood.
Services for Dads and Partners Too
Parenthood is demanding for everyone in the family. Dads and partners often carry their own physical and emotional stressโfrom work pressures and sleep deprivation to the physical strain of lifting, carrying, and playing with growing children. Qi Flow Wellness welcomes fathers and partners who need support with:
Stress and Sleep Management
The early years of parenting can take a toll on mental health and sleep quality. Acupuncture has been shown to help reduce stress, improve sleep patterns, and support overall emotional wellbeing. Many dads find that regular treatments help them stay balanced and present for their families during demanding times.
Pain Relief and Physical Recovery
Whether it’s back pain from carrying toddlers, shoulder tension from desk work, sports injuries, or chronic pain conditions, Naomi’s remedial massage and the clinic’s myofascial release techniques can provide effective relief. These treatments address the root causes of pain, not just temporary symptom relief.
Preventative Health and Wellness
You don’t need to wait until something hurts to prioritise your health. Many families are discovering the benefits of preventative careโregular treatments that keep the body balanced, boost immunity, and prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. The clinic’s Preventative Wellness Membership offers an affordable way for busy parents to maintain their health with two treatments per month.
Beyond Pregnancy: Comprehensive Health for All
While pregnancy and fertility support are key specialties, Qi Flow Wellness offers comprehensive care for all aspects of health and wellness. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, dealing with stress and anxiety, recovering from injury, seeking support for digestive issues, or simply wanting to maintain optimal health, their holistic approach addresses whole wellbeingโnot just isolated symptoms.
The clinic offers a full range of services including:
- TCM massage and acupuncture
- Remedial massage and myofascial release
- Cupping and dry needling
- Moxibustion therapy
- Craniosacral therapy and reflexology
- Reiki for stress and emotional balance

Why Choose Qi Flow Wellness?
What sets Qi Flow Wellness apart is their holistic TCM approach that goes beyond treating symptomsโthey focus on understanding and healing the root causes of health concerns.
Unlike Western medicine that often waits until problems become serious, TCM emphasizes prevention and early intervention. They catch the small imbalances before they develop into major health issues. Their personalised care addresses your whole wellbeing: physical, emotional, and energetic balance, combining ancient Chinese medicine wisdom with modern wellness practices.
Whether you’re dealing with fertility challenges, chronic pain, or stress, they don’t just ask “what hurts?”โthey ask “why does it hurt?” and “how can we prevent it from getting worse?” This comprehensive, preventative approach means you’re not just getting temporary relief; you’re investing in long-term health transformation and staying well before illness takes holdโa true health partner for your entire family.
