Mornington Chinese Medicine is 20 years old this July, and we’re feeling quietly proud.
For two decades, our clinic has supported the Mornington Peninsula community with thoughtful, personalised care rooted in Chinese medicine. What started as a humble allied health clinic in 2005 has grown into a trusted hub for integrative, whole-person health.
When Mornington Chinese Medicine opened its doors on 1 July 2005, we were the first allied health business on the street. Today, that same street has become a local health precinct, and we’re honoured to still be here, doing the work we set out to do 20 years ago.
Our vision was clear from day one.
Mornington Chinese Medicine began as a multidisciplinary clinic called Mornington Complementary Medicine, co-founded by Kirsten Wolfe, Travis Clarke and Holly Clarke.
Our mission?
“To provide excellence in Natural Health Care, focusing on wellness-orientated therapies. The primary role of our cohesive team of specifically selected practitioners within the clinic is to provide the care, support and treatment outcomes their patients require, while educating and encouraging them to strive for greater levels of health and wellness.”
In those early days, we offered a broad range of therapies, homeopathy, massage, Reiki, herbal medicine, reflexology, holistic counselling and more.
But over time, something became clear.
Our passion and purpose lived in Chinese medicine.
We saw the depth, precision and long-term support it could offer, not only in treating acute symptoms, but in supporting the nuanced transitions and challenges of women’s health and family life.
Today, Mornington Chinese Medicine is a fully integrated Chinese medicine clinic.
We work exclusively with Chinese medicine therapies, alongside practitioner-only supplements, to support our patients through every stage of life. This evolution reflects both our belief in Chinese medicine and our trust in its ability to support whole-body, long-term wellbeing.
We’ve witnessed so much change and also so much continuity.
Over 20 years, we’ve had the privilege of supporting women from their first cycles to pregnancy, through motherhood, perimenopause, menopause and beyond. In some families, we now treat three generations.
And we’ve seen a shift in how people view Chinese medicine.
Once seen as a “last resort,” it’s now recognised as a meaningful part of someone’s healthcare journey. People come to Mornington Chinese Medicine not because they’ve run out of options, but because they want a deeper, more holistic perspective – earlier.
Fertility care has changed too.
We now support more people through IVF, egg preservation, donor journeys and hormonal complexity. There’s more awareness around the decline in sperm quality and the wider challenges in reproductive health. These are not simple journeys, but they reflect the growing need for integrative care. Something Chinese medicine is uniquely placed to offer.
Through all of it, our core remains the same.
We still believe that every symptom tells a story.
We still create space to listen deeply.
We still consider the whole person in every treatment.
And we still collaborate with your broader healthcare team to ensure care that is safe, supportive and well-rounded.
Looking ahead with purpose.
We’re proud of the foundation we’ve built and we’re just as focused on what’s next. Mornington Chinese Medicine continues to grow alongside the latest research, evolving patient needs, and the experience of our dedicated practitioners.

-
Fertility and preconception care
