Shane’s journey into health and wellness began with a personal struggle with mental health and addiction, leaving him searching for a deeper, more holistic way to heal. Uninspired by conventional treatments, Shane set off on his path, starting with personal training and quickly advancing into remedial bodywork. Here, he discovered the East Asian bodywork systems like Shiatsu and Tui Na, igniting a passion for Chinese Meridian Theory and Eastern Medicine.
His dedication led him to mentor under Jost Sauer, an esteemed practitioner, for over a decade. Under Jost’s guidance, Shane pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, solidifying his purpose of helping people find balance and healing through the powerful wisdom of Eastern Medicine.
Shane’s thirst for knowledge didn’t stop there. He completed a postgraduate course in Traditional Japanese Acupuncture, a gentler, highly refined form of needling while gaining valuable mentorship from seasoned practitioners on the Gold Coast. His studies culminated in a Master’s in Chinese Herbal Medicine, further deepening his expertise.
But it’s not just academic study that defines Shane’s path. For over 15 years, he has been practising Qi Gong, Tai Ji (Tai Chi), and meditation, fully embracing the Chen family lineage of Tai Chi. His dedication to these practices has taken him to China annually for immersive training, and his daily practice is a testament to his belief in living what he teaches.
Most recently, after completing a Master’s in Medical Qi Gong, Shane’s commitment to learning and evolving continues as he works toward earning a Doctorate in the field.
Since 2006, Shane has been in clinical practice, and 2019, he founded Sun Med in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. Here, he continues to guide his patients with compassion, helping them achieve balance in body and mind. Shane is incredibly passionate about supporting those struggling with addiction and mental health challenges, drawing from his own experiences to offer a path of transformation and purpose.
Alongside his partner Angela, Shane co-founded Not Another Rehab and The Way of Wellness Mentorship program—tailored, life-changing programs designed for individuals who want to move beyond challenges and embrace a life of purpose, wellness, and balance.
Angela’s true passion lies in helping individuals live their best lives, embracing change, stepping into purpose, and honouring important life transitions through ceremony and meaningful rituals. Her diverse background and past work experiences include working as a high-level executive assistant for Ambassadors, event coordinator, festival manager, early childhood educator and manager, and even indulging in the adventurous life of a vagabond. Each of these experiences has forged her path and contributed to the colourful array of hats she wears today.
However, Angela’s most cherished role is that of a mother to her and Shane’s beautiful children. She finds great joy in nurturing their family bond. At Sun Med, Angela lovingly oversees the clinic’s growth and the team’s well-being as the Chief of Operations.
Additionally, Angela is deeply involved in the founding of Not Another Rehab. This mentoring program focuses on supporting individuals who have faced drug addiction challenges, guiding them towards a new path of well-being and purpose. Angela truly embodies the essence of a Cosmic Boss Lady, juggling multiple responsibilities with grace and passion.
When she isn’t doing all of that, you will find Angela taking long walks on the beach and in the forest with Shane and their little ones, enjoying a good dance, martial arts, weights, meditation and creating juicy ceremonies and rituals in life.
This woman is an all-around superstar who is genuinely passionate about serving others and seeing people like you achieve greater health and happiness and live a life of purpose.
Kababinna, aka Kubs, has grown up on the Sunshine Coast and locals may recognise and already love her from many great coffee places around town as she was a star barista!
However, as good as coffee making skills were, her true calling and passion is healing and helping people. Hence Kababinna made the daring move to become an Admin Ninja at Sun Med, taking on a big career path change (and crushing it!) that is now helping her transition into becoming a practitioner; starting her journey to become a qualified acupuncturist studying Bachelor Health Science at Endeavour College in 2023.
In between helping you at the clinic, studying and generally being awesome, you’ll most likely find her catching some good surf, enjoying the amazing nature here, travelling, spending quality time with her family and listening to or creating beautiful music.
Fun fact, Kababinna means water lily, and her grandfather gave her the name when she was born.
Kubs is an easy going, fun-loving human, who is definitely going places! For now, she looks forward to welcoming you into our clinic.
