Robin was a registered herbalist and acupuncturist, having completed internships at Chinese hospitals in Guangxi and Xi’An where her focus was on gynaecology. For over 30 years, she ran a full-time private practice that centred on women’s and children’s health and attendance in childbirth. She lectured in Chinese medicine at major Australian universities and colleges, worked in various capacities for Australian government authorities in the regulatory area of health practice and Chinese medicine, and provided expert testimony and consultative advice for legal proceedings.

She is the author of Gynaecology Revisited, a text addressing the need for Chinese medicine practitioners to better understand Western medical approaches to gynaecology and obstetrics whilst maintaining the integrity of the Chinese medicine paradigm. She also authored Chinese for TCM Practitioners and co-authored Shang Han Lun Explained, which is a translation and discussion of the seminal text on Chinese medicine written by Zhang Zhong Jing in the 2nd century AD.

Robin is passionate about supporting women through every phase of life, sharing her advanced knowledge and clinical experience in the field of Chinese medicine, and advocating for the profession.
