Yonit Belnick
- Bachelor of Health Science in TCM (UTS)
Yonit has been interested in health since her days as a young pupa. Yonit believes acupuncture combines two influential and important mechanisms, the mind and the body. And it is her mission to prove they are not separate but integral. Yonit combines evidence-based research as well as the enigmatic and poetic teachings of Chinese medicine, because like our mind and body, neither can be ignored.
