I am still seeing patients.

In light of the current situation with Covid-19, I would like to reassure my patients that I am making every effort to maintain the health and safety of my clinic.

I have hand sanitiser for you to use on arrival and departure. I encourage you to use it.

I will be scheduling patients’ appointments with 15 minutes gap in between so that social distancing advice is followed.

I have removed any toys and reading material from the waiting area for the time being.

If you have a cough or any cold or flu symptoms, I ask that you contact me prior to your appointment so that we can discuss them and act appropriately.

I wish you and your family good health.

FINDING BALANCE
It’s been a tough few months for our country - extremes in weather, extremes in emotion, extremes in hardship at a time when we normally celebrate family and look forward to a new beginning. This year, the feelings of loss are palpable.

In Chinese medicine, it’s thought that all things are made up of Qi and that illness / injury / disease comes from a deficiency of qi and / or a disruption to its flow. This happens on a planetary level as well.

It is also thought that periods of imbalance bring about new balance and, further, that there is connectivity between all things. We are all part of a greater whole - a greater being.

It’s difficult to understand what is happening at the moment or why it’s happening but it’s important to remember that no-one is truly alone or separate.

My thoughts are constantly with those in hardship at the moment. Hang in there. A new balance is coming. Look after each other.

I had a chat with ABC Newcastle radio journalist, Craig Hamilton, last week. It was aired last saturday 16/11/19.

He's doing a series on alternate medicine.

We chatted about the fundamentals of acupuncture and what to expect during an acupuncture treatment.

Health bling!

Before the wellness boom began, alternative therapies were just that — alternative. Now you can pick up a turmeric latte in Pret, cure post-workout pains with CBD oil and find crystals in the most unexpected places, from water bottles to face creams. It is this growing acceptance and accessibilit...
