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. Today, the Angea Acupuncture Clinic in Melbourne is recognised as one of Australia's leading practices for fertility acupuncture, IVF support, endometriosis care, and integrative women's health.
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.
Our integrative approach to endometriosis treatment in Melbourne combines acupuncture, herbal medicine, and functional testing, offering whole-body care for pelvic pain relief, adenomyosis, and post-surgical recovery.
Learn MoreUnexplained Infertility
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.
As a fertility acupuncturist with 20 years of Melbourne clinical experience, I investigate the gaps that standard testing misses supporting natural fertility and IVF preparation when conventional answers have run out.
Learn MoreRecurrent Miscarriage

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.
