Co-founder of Elk & Me Therapies and Dispensary

Dr. Ava Roubin is a qualified Doctor of Chinese Medicine with over 20 years of experience in the healing arts. Her path began with massage therapy and has evolved into a deeply integrated practice that blends traditional and modern approaches to holistic health.

Ava holds a Bachelor of Health Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Victoria University, with a double major in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. Her clinical training took her to Shanghai, China, where she completed an internship at the prestigious Shuguan Hospital. There, she worked across several departments including Gynaecology, Oncology, Internal Medicine, and Acupuncture — gaining firsthand experience in the integration of Eastern and Western medicine.

“Chinese Medicine holds such a depth of philosophy and wisdom, entering into healing through this modality is like opening up and seeing the world through nature’s eyes.”

Ava is a registered member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA) and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Her practice incorporates a variety of healing modalities, including Five Element Acupuncture, a deeply transformative approach rooted in Taoist philosophy. This method focuses on treating the emotional and spiritual root causes of imbalance, helping clients align more fully with their true nature and achieve greater clarity, vitality, and soul-level harmony.

At Elk & Me Therapies, Ava provides a safe, nurturing environment where each session is guided by careful diagnostic methods — including discussion, palpation, and pulse and tongue analysis — to support the body’s innate ability to heal.

Whether you’re seeking relief from physical discomfort, emotional stress, or spiritual disconnection, Ava offers thoughtful, intuitive care tailored to your individual needs.
