After many hours behind the scenes, my new website is finally live 🤍

It brings together information about the clinic, the areas I work with, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and makes it easier for both new and existing patients to book online at a time that suits them.

You’ll also find information on fertility & IVF support, women’s health, perimenopause, menopause, digestive health and persistent pain.

I’m so happy to finally have everything together in one place.

Is your nervous system overloaded?

You don’t need to feel “stressed out” for your body to be in survival mode.
Often it shows up quietly — through your hormones, sleep, digestion and cycle.

Here are three common signs your nervous system needs support (and why it matters for your hormones).

Acupuncture helps calm the sympathetic nervous system, regulate the cycle and support better sleep, digestion and overall wellbeing.

If this sounds like you, I have appointments available this week.
Call 9432 1666 or message me anytime. 💗

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted — clinic life has been full, supporting people through so many stages of their health journeys. 💕
As we move into the end of the year, I’ve opened a few extra appointments to support hormones, stress, sleep, digestion and overall wellbeing.
If you’ve been meaning to prioritise yourself again, this is your gentle reminder.
Bookings are open — call the clinic on 9432 1666 or message me directly.
With warmth,
Mel x.

Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️ Today marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, as we welcome the return of the light. From a Chinese medicine perspective, this is an important time of year to nourish our bodies and minds in preparation for the colder months ahead.

According to Chinese medicine, winter is associated with the Water element, which governs the kidneys and bladder. This is a good time to focus on building up our energy reserves, staying warm, and nourishing our kidneys. We can do this by eating warming, nourishing foods like soups and stews, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of rest.

In addition, the winter solstice is seen as a time of transition and renewal. It's a chance to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the year to come. We can use this time to cultivate stillness and inner wisdom, and to connect with the deeper rhythms of nature.

So, take some time today to slow down, reflect, and nourish yourself. Happy Winter Solstice! 🌟

Such an important question, not just today but everyday. So much if what I do in clinic is holding space for people to feel safe to talk. Never under estimate the importance of asking and listening. Xx
