Part 3: Move with the Season!
I love seeing how nature’s rhythms can inspire our own wellbeing routines. Spring is a season of growth and upward movement, making it the perfect time to get outside, stretch, and move your body in gentle, mindful ways.

Simple daily movement — like walking, yoga, tai chi, or qigong — can help you feel more energized and in tune with the season’s natural flow. Pair that with a little self-care, like acupressure, journaling, or relaxing music, to help support balance and calm.

Read on below for some gentle spring wellness ideas you can try at home.

Part 2: Spring Energy Tips!
Spring is here, and as an AHPRA-registered acupuncturist, I love this season of growth and renewal. Eating seasonal foods is a wonderful way to support your body and keep your Wood energy flowing. Fresh, green, and sour foods help nourish your Liver and move Qi, keeping your body feeling vibrant!
Think: leafy greens, sprouts, asparagus, green apples, lemon dressings, fresh herbs, and a little fermented goodness like kimchi or yogurt. Quick stir-fries or fresh salads are perfect for spring.
Pair this with some time outdoors — a walk, gentle stretch, or beach yoga — and you’re really in tune with the season.

Spring is here!
As an AHPRA-registered acupuncturist, I love this season — the air feels lighter, the days longer, and nature is waking up all around us. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is linked with the Wood element, which is all about growth, flexibility, and renewal.

It’s the perfect time to get outside, stretch, move, and soak up the fresh air — helping to shift any stuck or stagnant Qi and reconnect with your natural rhythm. Even a short walk among blooming trees or a gentle yoga session outdoors can make a difference.

Scroll down to learn more about the Wood element and how spring energy can support your balance and wellbeing.

Today is about checking in with those around us, and also taking a moment to notice how we ourselves are really going. Mental health challenges can affect anyone, and support can come in many forms. Alongside guidance from qualified health professionals and services, some people also explore complementary approaches, such as acupuncture, as part of their overall wellbeing plan.

Spring has sprung — and so has allergy season! Many people experience hay fever at this time of year. Research has explored acupuncture as one way that may support people with allergic rhinitis by influencing immune responses and reducing inflammation. Check out the video below from the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA) for more information.

If you’re interested in exploring acupuncture, we are an AACMA-registered practitioner.

If you’ve been experiencing discomfort, stiffness, or swelling in a joint, you may be dealing with a condition known as bursitis. This occurs when one of the small fluid-filled cushions (bursae) that help protect your joints becomes irritated or inflamed. While it can affect different parts of the body, bursitis often develops in areas such as the hip, knee, shoulder, heel, elbow, or buttock.
To explore whether acupuncture may be a suitable option for your situation, contact the clinic to arrange a conversation about your needs and preferences.
