About Zhong Centre

Your Melbourne-based centre for balance, cosmetic rejuvenation & acupuncture.

Zhong is the first character in the Chinese script of ‘Chinese Medicine’. It loosely translates to Upright, Zen, Central and Centre.

Zhong is a symbol of ‘returning to balance’. This has been our sign and inspiration behind our practice for a long time. It only seems ‘zen’ to expand not only our practice but our name to represent this too.

We currently offer the following treatments:

• Cosmetic Acupuncture
• Natural Facial Rejuvenation
• Alternative to Botox
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
• Women’s Health
• Counselling

Our Team

Dr Abbie Cloherty

“When a woman’s cup is full, she looks to then fill her loved ones cups, when they are full, she looks to fill her community and neighbourhood; when they are full, she then looks to the world around her to look after and nurture it too. This is my reason for being – just filling up cups one at a time to overflow into the world around us.

When one woman does great – the whole world is lifted, you can’t do great things when you’re focusing on sucking in your tummy or not smiling fully because of crow’s feet!”

Dr Nicole Pawley

Dr Nic has experience through a range of areas, however holds a special interest in women’s health. This extends to conception, fertility and postnatal care stemming from her other favourite field; educating mums-to-be on how to be awesome at birthing. As an experienced specialist childbirth educator, Nic has facilitated hundreds of couples with essential skills for birthing with control, calm and fearlessness.
