Welcome to Brisbane Livewell Clinic - Experience Good Health Like Never Before

I have been visiting the Livewell Clinic for nearly 12 months, seeing Tina for naturopathic guidance and now Lilyanne and Andre for Acuplus sessions. Tina assisted with helping my allergies and stomach problems get on track and then recommended my healing journey be supported with Acuplus sessions (a combination of acupuncture and massage). I have received five Acuplus sessions and have found that on this holistic journey I am gaining a sense of balance between my mind, body and spirit.

I have experienced many different feelings and emotions over the weeks and have had moments of enlightenment and emotional cleansing. It is as if my body is eliminating itself of the toxins and is beginning to realise how to work again.

This combination of treatments has helped my feelings of frustration and irritability in certain situations subside. It is allowing me to process arising situations in a more gentle, peaceful and rational way. I am learning to “let go” of the not so important things in life that once seemed like, The Great Pyramids of Egypt, reduce to just mere ant hills.My Facial Harmony treatment with Lilyanne gave me a wonderful feeling of relaxation, rejuvination and focus. This caming and sensitive treatment was non-invasive and contributed greatly to my overall sense of feeling serene and self-worthy. It has assisted me with my stress and anixety issues, and I would recommend Facical Harmony treatment to anyone who desires to look good and glowing, and have a deep sense of well-being in body, mind and spirit. Thank you Lilyanne!

When I first started seeing Lilyanne I didn't have much energy. Now there is a definate improvement in general. During my intensive treatmet I had the BEST sleep with acupuncture. I was also very relaxed after my massage and lympathic drainage treatment. I just can't seem to stay away from here! My emotions are more stable now. I am now willing to express myself as who I am. Facial Harmony has changed how I look and how I feel about myself. Others are definately noticing a change in me.

Miracle - Seven years ago, my husband and I were planning to have a child. Every month, I was hoping that I got pregnant, but the answer was always “No”. It took us 2 years to try and hope before we decided to seek professional helps. My husband was examined in the local hospital and he had no problem. Later I was introduced to Dr. Wang who was in Hong Kong and I was in the United States at that time. We had telephone conversations twice, and I had taken 25 doses of Chinese herbal medicines prescribed by Dr. Wang. To my surprise, 3 Months later, I was pregnant. I could not believe my ears when I first heard the result from the nurse. My husband, I and everyone in our families were extremely happy. To me, after all the negative results in the 2 years, this was a miracle that I dare not to dream. Thank you, Dr. Wang. We are always grateful for your great help to our family.

I had 5 miscarriages in 3 years. Many doctors told me that that was called habitual miscarriage and it would be very difficult for me to have a full term baby. At the point of desperation, I rang a friend's friend whose infertility was cured by a Chinese doctor. That was when I discovered Dr. Sue Wong. Dr. Wong diagnosed me with a condition called kidney and blood deficiency and gave me acupuncture and Chinese herbs to take, I got pregnant within 3 month. Dr. Wong continued to care for me with herbs and acupuncture to prevent miscarriage and I delivered a full term baby boy. My family owe our happiness and fulfillment to Dr. Wong. I recommend her to everyone I know. I am now seeing her to prepare for my second baby.

Many years of my prolonged heavy bleeding resulted in severe iron deficiency, fatigue and loss of memory. My doctor suggested a total hysterectomy. My neighbor suggested me to see a Chinese doctor who cured her uterian fibroid and chronic thrush. I visited Dr. Wong and Dr. Jim Ng. Dr. Wong prescribed some Chinese herbal powders to me, and Dr. Ng gave me a course of 6 acupuncture treatments. My heavy bleeding started to slow down and stopped completely after 3 weeks of treatment. I continued to see both doctors for 6 month, my cycle now is completely normal and regular. My iron level is great, my memory has improved out of sight and I no longer suffer from fatigue. Thank you doctors. Chinese herbs and acupuncture really do work wonders. Before you go for the surgery option, make sure you see these Chinese doctors first. They may just be able to save your uterus.

“I lived with migraines for 20 years. Doctors put me on steroids and painkillers, but nothing worked. I came to you and you fixed me in one treatment. You helped me detoxify my body and shed 23 kilos of fat. I am now full of energy and vitality and I look fantastic. Oh, and my sex life - wow!!!”

Letter for Clinic- Tony Fernaro, Brisbane, Qld.

After one week of intensive treatment of acupuncture, facial harmony and massage, I feel totally rejuvenated and totally satisfied with my treatment, it was well worth it.

"I came to Hong at the hardest time in my life. I had severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that had bedridden me for over 4 years. I slept on and off all day, life was a foggy blur of a nightmare. At the age of 25 I had lost all independence, could not work, earn a living, cook for myself, socialise. I moved home with my parents and was like a hospital patient, the only thing I managed was to have a shower and sometimes I didn't have the energy until 5pm to attempt this. I had difficulty washing my hair, or hanging out washing, lifting my arms was exhausting and knocked me out, sending me back to bed.

I had tried everything, doctors, specialists, healers and naturopaths and still did not see improvement. What's worse is things weren't plateaued they kept going down hill, I was constantly constipated, I developed Ulcerative Colitis, a bowel disease and I bleed from the bowel everyday. Bowel specialists put me on strong drugs to control bleeding and diarrhoea and said I would have to be on these steroids and drugs for the rest of my life and I would have to live with it. I became weaker and weaker unable to do the simplest tasks. It put a tremendous strain on my family especially my lovely, kind mother who felt every moment of my pain.

After the ulcerative colitis hit and I bleed everyday and got weaker and weaker I hit a terrible depression, I became an emotional mess. I did not seem to be able to handle anything and cried all the time. Mentally I felt like I was going insane, suffering from paranoia and anxiety. I had so many symptoms and it was all so confusing. Then I lost something so very important - hope. After picking myself up again and again for 4 years, I felt I couldn't do it anymore. I started having more and more feelings of suicide. Someone said to me visualise yourself with energy and being well and after repeated attempts I couldn't, It had been so long, I couldn't remember what it felt like.

Then my supportive, patient father found an article about Hong and her clinic in Queensland and the success she had with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. He offered to give it a go and fly me from Victoria and once again pay the medical bills. I was nervous, mentally and emotionally I didn't think I could handle another disappointment if it didn't work and I wasn't even sure if I was well enough to make the trip.

With the help of my sweet boyfriend I made the trip and met Hong.

She restored my hope that she could get me well and assured me everything with my health could be reversed, she was the first person I'd met that had the combination of understanding and knowledge about Chronic fatigue. I left her office thinking this could be it.

Firstly she got me off the strong drugs for the bowel disease without me bleeding or having diarrhoea, doctors said this couldn't be done, the first miracle. Then she started turning all the tremendous bowel pain and constipation, bit by bit it improved and I started going to the toilet regularly. I started moving forward, no longer going downhill, no longer plateaued. I saw glimpses of energy that I hadn't felt in years. It was like I was climbing up the ladder.

In one year with Hong, I went from being bed ridden, bleeding from the bowel, serious depression and an emotional mess too: working 1 - 2 days a week, hanging a whole load of washing out, getting some meals, feeling my old mental and emotional strength again and feeling happy. I moved out of survival mode that I had been in for almost 5years. I even started to plan my own wedding and think about having a family. Even the thought that I may be able to have children was a miracle considering how sick my body had been.

There were a few times in the past year that I found progress slow and expensive and impatience grabbed a hold of me but with encouragement from Hong and Sandy and a very supportive family, I altered my thinking to patience, tolerance, appreciation, reflected on how far I had come and continued.

“I had consistent nausea for 18 months. Five specialists, four ultrasounds, two psychiatrists, and countless antidepressant drugs later, the medical people ran out of options and decided to send me to a mood specialist. In desperation, I flew from Sydney to see the Brisbane Livewell Clinic. You identified my condition in one consultation and the treatment you gave me cured 80 per cent of my symptoms in one week. I no longer live with consistent nausea and depression, and I no longr take drugs. My family and I cannot thank you enough for what they have done for me. You have given me my life back.”

“I suffered chronic fatigue for 15 years, living with with antibiotics, severe fatigue, and depression every day until I came to the Brisbane Livewell Clinic. I have been with the clinic for five years now and I am o proud to say I have taken no drugs during this time. I am back to working full time, enjoying a wonderful loving relationship, and am looking younger and better than ever before. What can I say? Bless you with all my heart.”
- Margaret Graham, Brisbane, Qld.

“When I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, the doctors put me on a cocktail of drugs including an ACE inhibitor, a beta blocker, a diuretic, a calcium channel blocker and a cholesterol-lowering agent. Ten years of taking these drugs produced symptoms of fatigue, mental sluggishness, severe digestive disturbances and depression. Early this year, I was told that I needed a bypass as one of my main arteries had 85 per cent occlusion. My wife made an appointment for me with the Brisbane Livewell Clinic. I was immediately impressed by Hong's and Tina's knowledge and their holistic approach towards my condition.
They structured a treatment plan to wean me off my medication and prescribed non-toxic natural alternatives for blood pressure and high cholesterol, with lots of heart-protective nutrients. I am now taking my drugs every five days, and my blood pressure has never been better.
The good news is I am no longer tired and depressed. I'm full of energy: I'm 62 years old, and am now tiling my kitchen, building my fence and walking without any pain in my legs. What a transformation of my life! I am over the moon.”
- John Ledger, Brisbane, Qld.

“Thank you Hong for making it possible for us to conceive our gorgeous son, Hamilton, the most wonderful blessing in our lives. We conceived him with our first try and he is the healthiest, most contented and well-developed baby of all the babies within my circle of friends. And thank you Sandi for helping to detoxify me and prepare me for my second pregnancy. Although I did not expect to get pregnant so quickly, I am enjoying every moment of it. I am now 16 weeks into my second pregnancy: I feel fantastic, look beautiful and am very, very happy. Thank you! And thank you so much for looking after my husband, my sister and my sister-in-law. They are all getting so much better. ”

“His foot and ankle were black and swollen to twice their normal size. Every step produced excruciating pain, making the few metres from car to surgery assume the proportions of a Himalayan trek.
Two hours later, he made the return journey from surgery to car with barely a limp on a foot that had almost returned to its normal size and colour. The next day, he was back at work in his extremely active job.
I sat in absolute awe as I watched Hong use just about every weapon in the not-inconsiderable TCM arsenal to heal my husband's foot: acupuncture, herbs, moxibustion, cupping, massage, and heat treatment. While I knew a little about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this was the first time I witnessed its healing powers in action – and seeing that poor damaged foot shrink before my eyes was nothing short of miraculous. I still think about the experience with a sense of amazement.
That was in 1997, and since then I've seen – and experienced first hand – many more TCM miracles covering a broad range of conditions, from minor to serious, acute to chronic.
Around this time, the editor of Nature and Health magazine asked Hong to contribute a regular TCM column to the magazine. Each time I edit her column, I'm again struck by how much this ancient form of healing has to offer the modern world.
Hong is that rare gem: a true healer. She is deeply imbued with the traditions of Chinese healing, for this is her heritage: she was mixing herbal formulations for her grandfather at age 12 (is this right?? I seem to recall you telling me this). Extensive formal training and studies overlay these traditions: she boasts a string of degrees in a range of disciplines (is this right??). She is the kindest person I know, and cares deeply for each of her patients. BUT…she expects her patients to do the hard yards and make the dietary, exercise and lifestyle changes that are necessary for TCM healing techniques to be truly effective.
While Hong is currently taking some time out to rear her son and daughter, she remains the highly hands-on manager the Brisbane Livewell Clinic, staying in close daily contact with her hand-picked team of practitioners to ensure the clinic maintains the high standards that have always set it apart.”

"I wanted to thank you so much for all the help you have given me over the
past couple of months. I am such a different person to the one who came to
see you for the first time.

You have helped me to find the real person inside of me. A person who is
stronger, happier and so much more in tune with my own thoughts and
feelings. I was so afraid of living life that I had built walls around
myself. Too scared to let people inside yet desperately wanting them to.

Lots of people have commented on how different I am these days. My family
and friends are amazed at the difference in my appearance and zest for life.

During the course of my treatments I have rekindled my love of writing and
of poetry. These are a couple of the poems that I have written.

I have called this one "Dawn"

The sun comes up on a golden morn
The flowers grow towards the dawn

The animals dance in the early light
The birds soar high, such a sight

People laughing in the park
They celebrate the end of dark

I call this one "The Caterpillar"

The struggle of the butterfly
is a truly amazing thing

How does such a beauty
start off without its wing

Like emerging from the shadow
into a dazzling light

The butterfly is happy
but it never forgets the fight

of the tiny little caterpillar
as it struggles in the night

A thing of beauty tempered
by the thing that was foregone

The tiny little caterpillar
gone before the dawn.

Again, thank you so much for all you support over the past couple of months.
You have helped me change my life so much.
Thank you Lilyanne"

"I want to thank you so much for inviting me to your meditation session. It
really was wonderful. I didn't realise how easy it was to find such peace
and harmony within myself.

Everyone in the group was so supporting and caring. It was easy to relax and
participate fully in the experience.

Dr Lee's breathing techniques have helped so much. I practice them whenever
I get a few spare moments.

Thank you also for asking me to read the words about will power. I got so
much out of those words and that experience. It helped me to confirm how far
I had come in my journey and what I needed to do to progress.

You have helped me become so much calmer and a much happier person. Thank
you so much.
Thank you Lilyanne"
-Julien, 2006

"I spent several hours be treated by Dr Lilyanne Wang between 15 and 22 November, 2006 at the Brisbane Livewell Clinic.

I had no previous experience with kinesiology, so it was a totally unknown field I was entering when she treated me – and for that reason, I was a little apprehensive. However, there was absolutely no need for concern: Lilyanne guided me through all we did very gently, one step at a time, overcoming any reluctance or hesitation I showed, patiently working through each issue until she reached the core. It was an amazing experience, and extraordinary the way deep-seated emotional issues emerged.

The facial harmony sessions were another revelation. For the first time in my life, and without effort, I was able to achieve a state of total relaxation. The feeling was amazing.

Lilyanne also performed acupuncture on me on three occasions, and again she showed her skills.

I'm full of admiration for Lilyanne: she is a highly talented and multi-qualified practitioner, but also an innately gifted healer with an incredible soul. I feel very blessed to have had this time with her. I know her treatments will positively influence my healing processes, and I hope to have more time with her in the future. "
