A lovely full-circle moment—supporting an amazing woman through her fertility journey, and now meeting her beautiful baby just six weeks after birth. It’s always a privilege to be part of the process, but moments like this—where I get to see the strength, patience, and resilience pay off—are truly special.

Always tired but your blood tests are “fine”?
In TCM, Blood means more than iron—it’s what nourishes, moistens, grounds the mind, and keeps your body flowing.

When you know, you know 😆

Balance Acupuncture is a powerful and fast-acting treatment method based on ancient Chinese medicine principles. Unlike traditional acupuncture, it focuses on restoring harmony in the body by targeting distal points rather than needling directly at the site of pain. This approach helps rebalance the body’s energy flow, providing rapid relief for pain, stress, and various health conditions.

🌟 Happy Chinese New Year! 🐍🌿 🌟

Welcome the Year of the Wood Snake—a time for growth, transformation, and balance. In Chinese medicine, the Snake symbolises wisdom and intuition, while the Wood element represents renewal and flexibility.

Just as the Snake sheds its skin, this year is perfect for letting go of what no longer serves you and embracing a fresh, healthy start. Acupuncture can support you in this journey by restoring balance, boosting energy, and nurturing your wellbeing.

🕊️ Wishing you health, happiness, and harmony this year. Gong Xi Fa Cai! 🎉
