Our graduate story – Chris FehresAcupuncturist / Business Owner

After completing his Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture in 2015, Chris went on to start his own thriving clinic in Brisbane which focuses on musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and pain pathologies.

He graduated with distinction and was awarded the medal of academic excellence for highest achievement in acupuncture across Australia. Chris is currently a contract tutor at Endeavour College in addition to being the alumni representative for

the Course Advisory Committees in the Acupuncture and Biosciences departments.

“One of my goals now is to become an anatomy lecturer for acupuncturists and other natural medicine practitioners. The complex and intricate structures of our bodies are telling us a story we haven’t yet fully understood, and they have so much to teach us if we listen to them. I want to play my part to encourage those stories to be heard.”

DID YOU KNOW?

Tongue diagnosis is a foundational diagnostic technique used by Acupuncturists and practitioners trained in Chinese medicine. Nearly all of the zang-fu organs (such as the kidney, lungs, heart, stomach and spleen) have a representational place on the tongue, meaning an Acupuncturist can often ‘see’ how these organs are performing just by looking at the tongue for a few moments.

In tongue diagnosis the tongue’s movement, shape, colour, coating and how moist or dry it is all correlate to the health or function of the internal organs.

Our graduate story – Alyce CiminoNaturopath / AHARA HEALTH Founder

As a child, Alyce Cimino loved following her father through Sydney’s Flemington Markets with a trolley, helping with the fruit and veggie shopping. Little did she realise she was soaking up knowledge for her future career.

Yet Alyce’s first choice of study was psychology. After a year of feeling it wasn’t quite right, she put her studies on hold and worked in childcare. When she witnessed children eating gingersnap cookies for breakfast, Alyce started to look for a way to help people make healthier choices. One day, she accidentally sat in the wrong room at an Open Day and fell in love with naturopathy – the use of herbal medicine and nutrition for good health. She enrolled that very day.

Alyce completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Naturopathy) and says it was her time in the teaching clinics, completing the practical component of her degree that gave her the passion to go into clinical practice. She dreamt of being part of a multi-modality clinic.

In January 2018, things fell into place for Alyce. She opened the naturopathic and whole food collective AHARA HEALTH in Newport on the northern beaches of Sydney. ‘Ahara’ comes from the Ayurvedic practice of using food to nourish the body and mind. It was a perfect fit. While Alyce says opening a business is wonderful, scary and overwhelming, she remains passionate about helping people to make small changes that have big benefits.

Business is going well and the team will soon expand their services to health events, talks, cooking classes and retreats as well as clinical practice. Alyce sees a big movement towards natural health. And, she says, if your heart is in the right place, it is an endless gift.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fermented and probiotic food benefits have come into the spotlight with the rise in gut health awareness. Your gut is thought to be your “second brain” as it’s been shown that there’s an entire ecosystem of bacteria and a vast neural network operating within the gut.

When consumed, the microflora that lives in fermented foods creates a favourable environment for this ecosystem to thrive. Consuming high quality fermented and probiotic foods will make sure you’re getting a healthy dose of bacteria, leading to benefits such as an increase in antibodies, a stronger immune system, regulation of appetite, along with a reduction of sugar and refined carb cravings.

Top fermented foods to boot your gut health:

• Yogurt

• Kefir

• Sauerkraut

• Tempeh

• Kimchi

• Miso

• Kombucha

• Pickles

Being active is a great way to boost our immune system, but it’s important to control the intensity and frequency – we don’t want to be overdoing it.

Anthony Turri, our National Program Manager says regular exercise and massages help keep the lymphatic system moving and doing its amazing job. So be sure to keep moving and look after your body!

I’m thankful for the course structure at Endeavour. The amount of clinic hours we do helps you develop knowledge and confidence. Endeavour’s lecturers come from diverse backgrounds, and they are excellent mentors in the student clinic.

Hands down the best part about studying at Endeavour was my clinic supervisors. Their guidance and the knowledge and experience that they shared with me was invaluable. They helped me refine my practical skills and challenged me in a way that taught me to think on my feet. Surya Schimana-Chiller Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture)
