Emerging research in 2024 has shown promising results for acupuncture as a complementary approach for endometriosis-related pain. A large systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2024 found that acupuncture significantly reduced pain severity and improved clinical response in women with symptoms of endometriosis when compared with control groups without acupuncture. This means regular acupuncture treatments were associated with less period pain and pelvic pain, and an overall improvement in quality of life for many participants.

If you’re curious about trying acupuncture, chat with a either of our female acupuncturist about endo-specific care so you feel understood & supported🧡

We are known as a fertility clinic and have been so grateful to support women across Geelong and the Bellarine through IVF, natural conception, and planned parenting using Chinese medicine and acupuncture. But our passion spans far beyond fertility. From first cycles and early rhythm support, through to the change of life that is often misunderstood and under supported, we are here for every stage of womanhood. There is no phase of women’s health you have to navigate alone.

If you have a daughter, a friend, a sister, an aunt, or a mother who could use some support, whether that is their first cycle, premenstrual symptoms, trying to conceive, navigating the vital postpartum window, or moving through perimenopause or menopause, please send this to them. Support at any stage can make a profound difference.

At The Good Egg Natural Fertility, we offer in depth fertility consultations because we truly believe the body is phenomenal. It is always communicating with us, offering feedback, clues, and messages. In the space of fertility though, those messages can feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes contradictory.

Fertility is rarely just one thing. It often involves two people, layered histories, changing cycles, emotions, energy, lifestyle, and lived experience. That is why we take our fertility consultations seriously and allow the time and space to really listen.

Our sessions are often longer because we gather as much information as possible. We talk through your cycle, your health history, any reproductive concerns, your mood, energy, diet, and the way your body has been responding over time. We look at where you have been, what your fertility journey has looked like up until now, and where you hope it is going.

By painting a full picture, we can support you in a way that feels informed, personalised, and aligned with your fertility plans, dreams, and vision moving forward.

Thinking about trying for a baby in 2026 ? Book a consultation now and lets chat about how we can support you on the way.

Postpartum care is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

Postpartum depression and postpartum depletion are often spoken about as separate experiences. One is usually understood as emotional or hormonal, while the other is seen as physical exhaustion and burnout. From a Chinese medicine perspective, while they are not the same thing, we see a strong and meaningful link between them.

We understand the body through deeper cycles and rhythms. We look at how energy is distributed, what the body is prioritising, and where resources may be running low. Depletion of nutrients, depletion of rest, and depletion of warmth in the areas that need it most can all influence how a person feels physically, emotionally, and mentally.

The postpartum period is one of the biggest transitions a body can go through. It requires more support than we are often taught to expect or ask for.

To support yourself and reduce the risk of postpartum depletion and its flow on effects, we recommend having a postpartum plan. One that is supported throughout pregnancy and beyond by allied health practitioners such as an acupuncturist. A plan that considers nourishment, rest, emotional care, warmth, and practical support.

When the body is well supported, it has a greater capacity to regulate the nervous system, stabilise mood, and recover more deeply.

Postpartum care is preventative care. It is long term care. And it matters.

Often there is more involved in an appointment than just acupuncture. There is the conversation, the listening, and the physical check-in. Temperature, pulse, tongue and an overall sense of how the body is really doing.

So many women present with cold patterns, where there is not enough warmth, blood flow, and resources being directed to the digestive and reproductive systems. This can lead to stagnation, pain, poor digestion, fatigue, and a sense of being undernourished at a deeper level.

In Chinese medicine, pain is often a sign of stagnation. That stagnation can come from not enough warmth or not enough blood flow. When warmth is invited back into the body, through practices like cupping or moxa, as well as herbs, supplements, and dietary changes that support warmth, the body is often able to soften, move, and heal.

This is why Chinese medicine is not just about treatment. It is about understanding what the body needs and supporting it back toward balance, warmth, and flow.

22 years devoted to women’s health, fertility, and the deep understanding of our bodies and cycles. Philippa, owner of The Good Egg Natural Fertility, has spent decades supporting women through conception, postpartum, hormonal health, and menopause, always with care, wisdom, and respect for the whole person. Using a Chinese medicine lens, she supports nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, energy, digestion, sleep, and lots in between. Wherever you are in your life or cycle, you are supported here.

I have personally been in the care of The Good Egg and working with Philippa for around three years now, across an array of different chapters and needs. I initially started going for support with my cycle after being referred by a trusted naturopath for cycle pain, and it was one of the only things that genuinely helped ease my endometriosis pain. Over time, I realised it was so much more than that. It became a place where my body was treated as a whole, where all of my systems were supported together rather than in isolation.

When I was unwell or recovering from illness, we worked on rebuilding my strength and immunity. When I was moving through relationship or work stress & emotional tension, we focused on easing that tension and supporting my nervous system. When my skin flared, or my sleep changed we addressed that too. No matter what I was navigating, it has consistently been a safe place to land, to feel seen, heard, and understood, and to receive guidance and gentle care that met me exactly where I was( literally in the depths of tears, burn out, exhausted or excited, bleeding or hungover, you name it)

Chinese medicine and acupuncture have taught me that the body is so much more than the symptoms we see on the surface. There is a deep curiosity and respect for what is happening underneath, and that perspective has changed the way I understand and care for myself entirely.

For my women whom need a home for their stories & genuine support, id recommend this one.

Your AMH is not a scorecard of your fertility.

AMH is one of the only blood markers we have to estimate egg reserve. It gives us a rough ballpark of how many eggs may be left, but it is not a fixed number. It can fluctuate cycle to cycle, go up, go down, and be influenced by stress, inflammation, hormones, and overall health.

What it does not tell us is just as important.

AMH does not measure egg quality.
It does not tell us how & when you ovulate.
It does not reflect the structure or regularity of your cycles.
It does not predict how easily or naturally you may fall pregnant.

It is a piece of information, not the whole picture.

In Chinese medicine, fertility is viewed as a dynamic, whole body process. Hormones, blood flow, nervous system regulation, digestion, sleep, stress, and cycle health all matter. Supporting egg quality and ovulation function can make a significant difference, regardless of a single number on a page.

If you have received a low AMH result, please do not panic. It is not a diagnosis and it is not the end of your fertility journey.

Book in for a chat and let’s look at how we can support your egg quality, regulate ovulation, and guide your body toward falling pregnant naturally, with a personalised and holistic approach.

At The Good Egg, we want to gently acknowledge that miscarriage is an incredibly challenging path to walk, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Whether this loss is recent or something you have been carrying for some time, we understand that everyone’s needs in this space are completely unique.

What you may need right now can be hard to name. What we do know is that support matters. Feeling held emotionally, supported in your body and cared for in practical, thoughtful ways can make a real difference during this time.

You are warmly welcome in our space at any stage after pregnancy loss, from days afterward through to months or years later. Chinese medicine offers many gentle pathways of care, whether that is nervous system support, helping your body find a sense of rhythm again, or simply offering emotional soothing and rest. Each treatment is guided by how you are feeling and the kind of support you are seeking.

Being held in a space by another woman who understands, or can deeply empathise with what you are moving through, can be a beautiful and helpful place to land.

Pain during s*x is something many women struggle with, yet it is still spoken about quietly, if at all. It can appear at different stages of life, after periods of stress, childbirth or simply without a clear reason. No matter how it shows up, pain during s*x deserves support, understanding and proper care.

Internal pelvic release work is one gentle avenue of support. This approach focuses on softening the fascial and soft tissues inside the vaginal wall, helping the body unwind patterns of tension that can build slowly over time. It is slow, considered and deeply respectful of your boundaries.

Steph has seen incredible shifts in the women she works with. Many have shared relief, more comfort in their bodies and a sense of finally feeling heard and supported.

If you are curious about exploring this work or would like to speak with Steph to see whether it may support you, her details are below.

We are taking a much deserved and deeply needed pause over the Christmas period so we can spend time with our families and genuinely live what we teach, which is slowing down, softening, and recharging.

We will have appointments available right up until the 22nd of December. This time of year can bring a lot more intensity for many people. If you are feeling stretched, overwhelmed, or you simply need support to move through the December rush, please book in as soon as you can because spots are likely to fill quickly.

We will return on the 6th of January, ready to reconnect, hear about your break, and support you with fresh energy for the year ahead.
