Dr Ulrike Wurth B.V.Sc., Dip Acup, CVA (IVAS) graduated from Melbourne University in 1972, she started her own practice in Highton Geelong in 1979 and sold it in 2010. Ulrike’s first exposure to acupuncture was in 1982 for a cat with a paralysed bladder and amazed by the result, she commenced a part-time human acupuncture course in 1984, graduating with a Diploma of (Human) Acupuncture in 1986. In 1991 together with Drs Chris Robinson, Carl Muller and Ian Robertson, she helped organise the first Australian IVAS Course and continued to lecture at subsequent courses. Ulrike sadly passed away in 2018. If you would like to know more about the Australian College of Veterinary Acupuncture, please click on the link below.
