About TIDE

A thoughtful approach to health, inspired by nature and grounded in Chinese medicine.

We’re Naomi and David, and we’ve recently made beautiful St Helens, Tasmania, our home.

Drawn to the natural beauty of the East Coast and a slower, more connected way of life, we’re excited to become part of this wonderful community.

At TIDE, we bring together our shared passion for Chinese medicine, acupuncture and holistic wellbeing. We believe good healthcare begins with listening, understanding the individual and creating a welcoming space where people feel comfortable, supported and cared for.

Meet David

I’m David Lilliebridge, a registered Chinese medicine practitioner with a down-to-earth approach to health and healing.

I believe everyone has a story worth listening to, and that feeling comfortable and understood is an important part of good healthcare.

My treatment style blends traditional Chinese medicine with a friendly, practical approach, a little creativity and a healthy sense of humour. I aim to make every visit a relaxed, positive experience while helping people work towards their health goals.

Meet Naomi

I’m Naomi Tew, and I’m drawn to Chinese medicine for its gentle, practical approach to supporting the body’s natural balance and wellbeing.

Inspired by nature and the rhythms of everyday life, my approach is thoughtful, nurturing and grounded in the belief that health is closely connected to how we live and care for ourselves.

I value taking the time to listen, understand and offer individualised care that supports people in finding their own sense of balance.

Together at TIDE, we hope to offer something simple but meaningful — a place where traditional knowledge meets genuine care, and where you can feel at ease, reconnect and find your balance.
