The Story
Bridging the Gap Between East & West
Hi, I'm Dr Amanda. For two decades I've sat with women in their most vulnerable moments, listening to stories woven with frustration, grief, sadness and anger. Women who had been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told everything looked normal when their body was telling them otherwise. That experience, alongside my own health journey, is what has led me to build something different.
My healing path has had its share of many dark moments. From my miscarriages, Stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis diagnosis, fallopian tube removal, and now in peri-menopause transitioning into menopause. I know this terrain. Not just clinically. Personally.
I wanted to create a place where women felt truly heard, held and seen. Where your complexity wasn't a burden to be managed, but an invitation to look and investigate deeper.
"What I've built at Angea Acupuncture, and now as Dr Amanda Waaldyk, is a practice where I bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern medicine. Where your complexity is not a barrier, it's an invitation for deeper inquiry."
I take the time. I listen deeply. I investigate until I find answers.
The women who have tried everything.
You've come to the right place. I work with women who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or who feel like they've exhausted all options. This is where that changes.
Book Your AppointmentEndometriosis & Adenomyosis
Stage 1–5 endometriosis adenomyosis are among the most under-investigated conditions in women's health. Average diagnosis takes 7–10 years, and surgery alone rarely ends the story. A whole-body approach addressing the nervous immune, hormonal, metabolic and structural drivers that keep symptoms cycling back.

Every test comes back normal. Every specialist says there's nothing wrong. Yet you're still not pregnant."Unexplained" is not a diagnosis, it's a gap in investigation. We leave no stone unturned.

Learn MorePMOS previously PCOS
The pill is often the first and only answer offered but it doesn't address what's actually driving PMOS. Insulin resistance, androgen excess, cortisol dys-regulation and blood sugar imbalance all require targeted, root-cause treatment. An integrative approach of east meets west.

Learn MoreChronic Pelvic Pain
Pelvic holding, adhesions, tension and pain that disrupts daily life and reproductive health often goes unaddressed because conventional medicine has few tools for it. An embodied approach combining Internal Pelvic Release Work, Pelvic Acupuncture, nervous system regulation and soft tissue therapy works directly with the structures and patterns keeping pain in place.

Pregnancy is not a condition to be managed. It's a profound physiological and emotional transition that deserves deep, individualised support. From conception through pregnancy, labour preparation and postpartum recovery, care is tailored to where you are in your journey, not a generic protocol.

Learn MoreDUTCH Test, Vaginal Microbiome & Gut Microbiome
When standard testing misses the full picture. Conventional pathology often overlooks the deeper hormonal, microbial and gut terrain driving your symptoms. I bridge the gap between eastern and western medicine using functional medicine and lab testing. Through the DUTCH test, vaginal microbiome mapping and gut microbiome analysis.

Online Programs
Deepen your healing beyond the clinic.
Wherever you are in the world, the work finds you.
My online programs bring the depth of integrative women's health into your home. Evidence-based, soul-led, and designed for women who are ready to understand their bodies on a deeper level.
Root and Branch.
In Chinese Medicine, the branch is the symptom. The root is the cause. Most medicine treats the branch~ pain, irregular cycles, failed cycles without ever asking why. This practice is built on finding and treating the root, so the branches stop returning.
Integrative Chinese & Western Medicine
The wisdom of 3,000 years of TCM, applied through a modern, evidence-informed lens. Ancient knowing. Contemporary precision.
Trauma-Informed & Nervous System Aware
The body holds everything. Treatment begins by creating safety in the nervous system before we ask it to heal.
Deeply Individualised
No protocols designed for someone else. Every treatment plan is built from your unique biology, history, and goals.
Bridging East & West
Integrative care that bridges the gap between eastern and western medicine. Working collaboratively alongside your Gynaecologist, Obstetrician, IVF Specialist and Allied health practitioners.

Sacred Offerings
Womb Healing Journey
The Womb is not just an organ. She is Zi Gong, the Child Palace. Our Sacred Portal. She holds the unspoken and the inherited.
The womb is not simply an organ.
She is Zi Gong ~ the Child Palace ~ seat of your deepest alchemy. Where Jing, Qi, and Shen converge. Where blood, life force, cyclical wisdom are held and rites of passage are initiated. She holds what the mind has long forgotten and what the body has quietly kept.
She carries the unspoken. The inherited. The Ancestral.
My Womb Healing Journeys are a two-hour sacred ceremonial session, weaving drumming, soul retrieval, ancestral and womb clearing, womb blessing, and medicinal mugwort. For women ready to go beyond the clinical, into the embodied, to remember and return back home.
Sacred, ceremonial, and unlike anything else I offer.
Where the work happens in person.
Our Melbourne clinic is a sanctuary designed for women's healing. Every element, from the treatment rooms to the consultation process, is intentionally created to support nervous system safety, embodied presence, and deep clinical inquiry.
Dr Amanda leads a small, carefully selected team of practitioners who share her philosophy: that complex women's health deserves integrative, unhurried, whole-body care.
