Feeling stretched thin? When life is too much, it’s often your nervous system sounding the alarm. At South Hobart Acupuncture we support our patients to move from fight + flight into rest + digest - because healing begins when your body feels safe.

One of the most powerful (and simple) tools we share is Vagus Nerve Activation Breathing - a gentle practice that helps settle the nervous system and restore calm from within.

Try this: 💫 Inhale for 4 💫 Hold for 7 💫 Exhale for 8 💫 Repeat for 2-3 minutes.

You can do this anytime - stopped at the lights, while cooking dinner, or winding down at night.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we combine the wisdom of Chinese medicine with modern approaches to support your whole health. Our degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners are here to guide you - whether your managing stress, fatigue or simply want to feel more like yourself again.

Ready to take the next step on your health journey? Call us on 0408 402 512 during business hours or book online using the link in our bio 💛 We can’t wait to support you.

Hi there, just your local community acupuncturist inviting you to take a deep breath and pause. As we move towards the end of the year I can already feel the collective rush begin. The lists. The deadlines. The ‘I’ll just push through until Christmas and rest over the break later.

Here’s a gentle reminder from me to you (and honestly, also to myself)
💛 You don’t have to earn your rest.
💛 You’re allowed to soften before you crash.
💛 You’re allowed to say ‘not this year’ to the chaos.

Instead of sprinting to the finish line, what if you paced yourself with kindness?

Take the nap. Say no. Delegate. Breath.
In short, let’s end the year with softness and ease, yeah?
Your nervous system and your future self will thank you.

Yours in Type-A perfectionist vibes,
❤️ Rebecca - South Hobart Acupuncture

P.S. If you need us, the practitioners at South Hobart Acupuncture are working up until Xmas, smoothly and calming bringing zen vibes to the people of Hobart. We would love to help you bring in the new year with the ease and calm you deserve.

As the heaviness of Hobart’s cooler seasons melt away and the light stretches late into the evening, summer arrives with a sense of warmth, movement and possibility.

In Chinese medicine, summer is the season of expansion, vitality and joy. It’s the most Yang time of year, when your energy naturally rises, your spirit feels more expressive and your body is designed to circulate, connect and thrive in the warmth.

The Heart and Small Intestines are the organs most active during summer. The Heart is seen as the home of the Shen (your spiritual + emotional wellbeing), guiding clarity, connection and calm. When this system is supported we feel more centred, joyful and spacious, able to enjoy the long days without tipping into overstimulation, heat or burnout.

Here are a few summer health suggestions we often share in the clinic. Save this for the bright, warm and surprisingly hot Tassie days ☀️
✨Favour cooling, hydrating foods - think cucumbers, leafy greens, mint, watermelon and berries.
✨ Stay physically active but pace yourself - heat can sneak up quickly.
✨ Prioritise rest at night to anchor your Heart energy.
✨ Keep your fluids up as your body will burn through moisture in the heat.
✨ Try gentle breath work or meditation to keep the Shen calm and steady.
✨ Avoid too much spicy, friend or heavy food which can aggravate how hot you feel.
✨ Make time for joy and connection - this is the Heart’s language.

If you’d like support staying balanced, rested and well this season, our AHPRA-registered practitioners are here to help. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512. We can’t wait to support you through the sunshine months.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we have a whole toolkit to support your health - but if we had to choose a favourite, it’s hands down our beautiful herbal medicine.

Why? because herbal formulas allow us to deeply support and rebuild the foundations of your health - Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang - in a way that acupuncture alone can’t always reach.

Here’s why we love herbs (and why our patients do too):
🌿 They work hard in-between treatments, keeping your healing moving forward.
🌿 They build with consistency - taken daily, they have powerful cumulative effects.
🌿 They’re tailored just for you - from our extensive dispensary of high-grade, raw powdered herbs.
🌿 And no, they don’t taste amazing (think earthy), but they do help you feel better fast - so you won’t mind for long.

We use herbal medicine to support our treatments for musculoskeletal pain, fertility, perimenopause and menstrual health, sleep support, gut healing and much, much more.

Every acupuncture appointment includes a herbal consult - or you can just come in for herbs alone. Our degree-qualified, AHPRA registered practitioners are here to guide you with skill, care and compassion.

Ready to take the next step on your health journey? Call us on 0408 402 512 during business hours or book online using the link in our bio 💛 We can’t wait to support you.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we understand just how upsetting chronic skin issues are and we love nothing more than helping to heal your skin from the inside out. We use a combination of Chinese medicine wisdom, functional pathology and personalised skincare to find the root of your skin issue. Your personalised treatment plan will look at everything from hormonal imbalances, digestive function and sleep issues as well as your skin’s ability to heal – all of which are important factors in the health of your skin.

When treating skin conditions we use the following modalities in a way that is personalised to each persons needs:
💫 Acupuncture – a holistic treatment that can assist with internal imbalances that lead to external breakouts.
💫 Chinese Herbal Medicine – the ‘internal’ part of our treatment. A specific personalised herbal formula will be given to you throughout the course of your treatment.
💫 Herbal Creams + Washes – an ‘external’ treatment source to help sooth itching, nourish dryness and cracking and ease heat or irritation.
💫 LED Light Therapy – non-invasive light therapy works at a cellular level to fight the effect of aging, acne, rosacea and inflammatory skin conditions.
💫 Individualised skincare recommendations - to make sure that your skin barrier and microbiome are whole, healthy and able to repair themselves.

The practitioners at South Hobart Acupuncture have experience with assisting acne, psoriasis, rosacea, atopic dermatitis and eczema as well as seborrheic dermatitis.

Our practitioners are degree-qualified and registered with AHPRA, meaning you are receiving professional guidance from practitioners that are focused on patient-centered care.

When you’ve been running on empty for too long it’s easy to feel like your spark has dimmed. Even simple things start to feel like a stretch. Burnout doesn’t just live in the mind, it can show up in your body too. In Chinese medicine this deep exhaustion is seen as a depletion of your Qi (oxygen) and sometimes your Yin and Blood too (the nourishing forces that keep you feeling calm, centred and replenished.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we understand how the daily grind can begin to feel like a chore. We are here to help you feel at home in your body again and feel the joy of every day so that you can live your life to the fullest ✨ Save this list for the next time you start to run on empty.

✨ Eat warm, cooked meals - think soups, stews, congees, porridges. Foods that warm you up and are easy to digest so you get lots of nutrients really quickly.
✨ Go to bed earlier than you think - most people don’t need more stimulation, they need less. An early bedtime allows your body to unwind and repair overnight.
✨ Say no gently but firmly - did you know that ‘no’ is a full sentence? Every yes is energy spent. Make sure to choose where you put your yeses (and your energy) wisely.
✨ Choose gentle workouts - that help you to build energy, not deplete it. Think walking, slow yoga, Qi Gong or a dance party in the kitchen if that lights you up.
✨ Take time to pause - our nervous system repairs and quietens in the pause between actions. Taking even 1 minute whilst the kettle boils or 5 minutes on the couch will give you space to begin unwinding.
✨Acupuncture & Chinese herbs - to help fill up your tank, reset your nervous system and bring you back into your body.

If you’re in need of support now or would like to know more about how we can support you back to being your fullest self, our AHPRA-registered practitioners are here for you. Call us on 0408 402 512 or book online via the link in our bio. We are here to help you get that spring in your step back 💛

As the coldness and quiet of winter retreats, new shoots push through the earth and spring starts to unfurl. In Chinese Medicine, spring is the season of renewal, creativity and growth - a time for your body to gently awake and expand your energy for the warmer months ahead.

The Liver and Gallbladder organs are strongest during spring and their energy directs us towards movement, growth and expansion. This is a time of vision, creativity and planning - the perfect time to dream, designs and set intentions for the year ahead.

Here are a few spring wellness suggestions we often share in the clinic 💛 save this list for the green and windy Hobart season.
