Millie Middis-Engelaer

Village Remedies, Sandy Bay

Millie is a registered Chinese Medicine practitioner (since 2015), as well as a registered Midwife and Nurse, offering acupuncture and Chinese medicine care across all stages of life. She works in a broad general practice, supporting a wide range of health concerns, while also holding a special interest in reproductive and hormonal health.

Her clinical background spans hospital and community settings, including obstetric theatres, birthing units, and postnatal wards, giving her a deep, practical understanding of the healthcare system. Drawing on both professional experience and lived experience as a mother of two, Millie brings a compassionate, grounded, and evidence-informed approach to care.

Millie supports people through fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the transition through menopause, and uses acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to treat a wide range of conditions. These include digestive issues such as IBS, stress-related concerns, headaches, musculoskeletal pain (including neck and back tension, sciatica, and shoulder injuries), and support for natural labour preparation. She also works alongside assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, offering integrative care to help optimise outcomes.

A strong advocate for person-centred care, Millie is committed to helping clients feel informed, empowered, and supported when navigating the healthcare system. Preventative healthcare and long-term wellbeing are central to her practice, whether care is sought for pain, stress, recovery, or general health maintenance.

Millie is particularly passionate about supporting birth preparation through acupressure education for labour. She offers practical, hands-on demonstrations to help women feel confident using acupressure techniques during labour and encourages partners to attend these sessions. By involving partners, Millie aims to strengthen support during birth and provide simple, effective tools that can be used throughout labour to promote comfort, connection, and confidence.
