Today is World Day of the Sick — a day dedicated to compassion, solidarity, and hope for those who are suffering physically, emotionally, or spiritually. It’s a reminder that illness touches all of us at some point in life, and that healing is not only about treatment, but about care, understanding, and support. 💙

Of fundamental importance to me in practice is that my clients feel heard and cared for during their sessions. I have always felt that the interaction between the practitioner and client is essential to the healing as well as the treatment.

I also strive to provide the support my clients need to continue on their healing journey whether it is something that I can provide within my scope of practice or something or someone else I can refer them to.

Sessions are up to an hour long so I have time to listen to what clients need to say and can get a full, clear picture of what is going on for them physically, emotionally and spiritually.

If you would like your healing to be a supported, collaborative journey I would love to work with you.

On this World Day of the Sick, let’s honor all those facing health challenges — and all the caregivers, practitioners, and healers who dedicate their lives to helping others feel better. May we continue to explore compassionate, integrative approaches to health that support healing in every form.

Wishing strength, comfort, and healing to all who need it today. 🌿

🥪 National Lunch Box Week 🥪
Let’s talk lunch boxes… the Chinese medicine way.

A new school year has begun and as I mother I understand the challenges of deciding what to put in a child's lunch box every day. Here are some tips on how to provide some healthy options the Chinese Medicine way!

In Chinese medicine, food is more than fuel — it’s information for the body. A good lunch box should support: digestion, steady energy, and happy tummies (especially for kids!).
Instead of lots of cold, raw foods straight from the fridge, we focus on warm, cooked, simple meals that are easy to digest and keep kids’ qi (energy) steady through the school day.


✨ Lunch box tips from a Chinese medicine perspective:
• Warm or room-temperature foods are easier to digest than icy cold snacks
• Balance is key — include protein, veggies, and carbs to keep energy stable
• Emphasis on Cooked foods for growing bodies and sensitive digestion
• Natural sweetness (fruit, roasted veggies) over processed sugars

🥡 Lunch box ideas:
🍚 Fried rice with veggies & egg
🍗 Leftover chicken, meatballs, or tofu
🥕 Steamed or roasted veggies (carrot, pumpkin, broccoli)
🍎 Fruit like apples, pears, or berries
🥜 Thermos of homemade soup

When digestion is supported, kids tend to have better focus, steadier moods, and more consistent energy throughout the day — a win for everyone 💛

Happy National Lunch Box Week!

I'm very excited. I have just booked my flight to Japan for August to again have the privilege of studying with my Japanese Toyohari Teachers for 4 days.

Welcome to the New Year. We are currently in between the calendar New Year which began on the 1st January and the Chinese New Year which begins on the 17th February.
The Chinese New Year is the year of the Fire Horse. The horse represents freedom, movement and self-direction. The fire element is associated with visibility, passion, drive and truth. This combination results in and intensified, fast-moving energy. This can result in you pushing beyond your reasonable limits, so it is imperative to remain aware of your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, focus on self care and ensure your body gets enough sleep, rest, exercise and nourishment.
Common imbalances during a Fire Horse year for women include:
• Feeling wired but exhausted
• Increased anxiety, restlessness, or irritability
• Trouble sleeping despite feeling tired
• Changes in cycle length, flow, or PMS symptoms
Acupuncture and Australian Bush Flower Essences are wonderful tools for assisting your body to remain balanced and supporting you through life’s challenges. Please call me to discuss how I can support you through this exciting, energetic, fast moving year.

To all the women out there suffering from perimenopause or menopausal symptoms this heart is for you. As a woman who has been through the change of life, I have a first hand knowledge of what you may be going through and, as a result, have a special interest in treating menopausal issues.

World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th October and was created to raise the awareness of menopause and improve the experience of women everywhere, shining a spotlight on the challenges facing women during the menopause transition and highlighting improvements in research, education, and support.

This years theme is lifestyle medicine and the role it plays in menopausal health.

The IMS White Paper, The role of lifestyle medicine in menopausal health: a review of non-pharmacologic interventions, discusses the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: healthy eating, physical activity, mental wellbeing, avoidance of risky substances, restorative sleep and healthy relationships concludes that "women can be empowered to navigate menopause with resilience, autonomy, and vitality by embracing these six pillars".

For more information and fact sheets on each of the six lifestyle factors check out the Australian Menopause Society website: https://www.menopause.org.au/health-info/world-menopause-day/2025

🌿💚 World Mental Health Day 💚🌿

Today, we’re reminded that mental health matters — every day.

Connecting with your community, in places where you feel safe, seen and heard can help you feel cared for and supported — and in your community there are so many ways to connect. Whether it’s singing together in a community choir, planting hope in a community garden, sharing stories in a book club, walking and talking with a walking group, or simply catching up with friends — every small moment makes a difference. 🌱👣📚🎶

If you are struggling with stress, anxiety or depression have you considered exploring the assistance Acupuncture may be able to give you? Acupuncture not only looks at your physical health but takes into account the health of your entire being and may assist in managing stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression. As well as Acupuncture, I use Australian Bush Flower Essences and techniques from Acceptance Commitment Therapy to further help address emotional issues. There is nothing like a dose or two of Emergency Essence to help me through a tough day!

😄Believe it or not we are actually born smiling and it has been shown using 3D ultrasound technology that developing babies smile in the womb.😃
SMILING has many physical and psychological benefits. Research has shown there are many benefits to smiling including reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, strengthening immunity, reducing pain and of course boosting your mood.
Furthermore, smiling doesn't only benefit you. By smiling at someone else you can contribute to their happiness and their health.
So lets get smiling, not just today but consciously make an effort to smile more every day and see how it can improve our life!
😄😀😃😁😆🙂🤣
