Our Story
Message from the Founders
We created a place that offered the kind of support we wished had existed for us.
In Harmony was born from our own personal experiences. Sonia lives with endometriosis and auto-immune disease, and Amanda lives with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and chronic migraine. Like so many people, especially women, we know what it feels like to search for answers that do not seem to exist, to feel unheard or dismissed by healthcare professionals, and to realise that health is rarely just one symptom, one system, or one simple fix.
What brought us together was a shared belief: when people are treated as whole human beings, and when they are truly listened to, understood, and supported, health outcomes can improve, even in the most complex situations.
So we created In Harmony, an integrative and functional health centre where highly qualified practitioners work together to support the physical, emotional, nervous system, mental, environmental, and lifestyle factors that shape health.
Like our name suggests, In Harmony is not about isolated treatments or symptom-focused responses. It is about understanding the whole person, connecting the dots, even the ones that are easy to miss, and creating systems of care that are practical, personal, collaborative, sustainable, and truly helpful.
Whether someone is navigating chronic illness, pain, hormonal health, emotional wellbeing, recovery, stress, or simply trying to better understand their body and health, our goal is always the same: to meet people where they are, and help them move forward with clarity, compassion, and the right support around them.
Our promise to you is that In Harmony will be a place within which you can heal, learn, and grow, and that we will offer you the kind of care that we so desperately needed ourselves.

The People Behind
In Harmony
Amanda and Sonia bring together years of experience in their respective fields to offer a range of therapies in a beautiful environment dedicated to health and wellbeing.
Sonia Scholz
Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine
When it comes to your health, you deserve someone who truly understands your journey. Sonia is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, specialising in hormonal health, gynaecology, fertility, and chronic conditions.
"In my twenties, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, adenomyosis, and other painful conditions that left me feeling helpless. After exhausting conventional options, I turned to Traditional Chinese Medicine and found not only relief, but a path to healing."
Over the past decade, Sonia has worked with countless women, couples, and families, blending acupuncture, herbal medicine, and integrative therapies to create tailored treatment plans. Her approach is highly individualised and holistic, designed to address the root cause of imbalances, not just the symptoms.
She incorporates acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, lifestyle coaching, and functional supplements to support each client's unique journey.
Amanda Dawes
Sexual & Reproductive Health Specialist
With nearly two decades of experience in Sexual and Reproductive Health across academic, government, private, and public sectors, Amanda has worked to create compassionate, accessible services for individuals and communities often left behind by traditional systems.
"I believe people are healthiest when western medicine and alternative medicine work collaboratively. I have felt the frustration of being dismissed and unheard. That is why In Harmony is so close to my heart: it is a space where you are not just treated, but truly supported."
Amanda's career spans working with children, adolescents, women at risk, people aged 45+, LGBTQ+ individuals, and survivors of trauma, addressing everything from contraception and STIs to menopause and relationship dynamics. Living with PCOS and experiencing a near-fatal pregnancy deepened her commitment to closing the gaps in women's healthcare.
What We Stand For
Our Three Pillars
Everything we do at In Harmony flows from three core beliefs about what people need to achieve optimal, lasting health.
High-Quality Therapies
Access effective, proven treatments delivered by skilled practitioners, with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and integrative health at heart. Every treatment is tailored to your unique needs and root causes.
Community Connection
Join groups and classes that foster self-discovery and belonging. We believe healing happens in relationship, with ourselves, with each other, and with the wider community. You are not alone in your journey.
Lifelong Learning
Gain insights and skills through our expert-led courses and workshops. Valuable information and resources empower you to take ownership of your health beyond the treatment room.
Why In Harmony
A Space Where You're Not Just Treated Truly Supported
Integrative and Holistic Approach
We combine Western medicine and ancient healing practices as complementary partners for your whole-body wellbeing, never as alternatives in opposition to each other.
Deeply Personalised Care
No two people are the same. Every treatment plan is designed around you, your history, your body, your goals, addressing root causes and not just symptoms.
Practitioners Who Have Lived It
Our founders understand health challenges from the inside. You will never be dismissed here. Your experience is taken seriously with genuine compassion.
A Sanctuary, Not Just a Clinic
Our beautiful space is designed to calm your nervous system the moment you walk in. Healing begins before the treatment even starts.
Community at the Core
From studio classes to workshops and events, In Harmony is more than treatments. It is a thriving community of people supporting each other toward health.

Our vision is to create a space where highly trained practitioners, skilled teachers, and health experts come together to nurture all aspects of the body, mind, and spirit.
