From our clinic family to yours, wishing you a very Happy Lunar New Year!! 🧧🏮✨

Over the weekend we welcomed in the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse by sharing a banquet together in the afternoon sun. We were extremely lucky to even have a crackle of Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos come bask in the sunset glow with us…A bird not often seen, we felt very lucky to have witnessed that moment together as a group, and be graced with their presence!

On that note and for all of our patients, family, and friends, may the year ahead be filled with vibrant health, peace, and good fortune. May your days ahead be balanced, your Qi flow smoothly, and your home be blessed with happiness and abundance!

See you in the new year 💫

As the year comes to a close, we reflect with gratitude on the year that has been and thank all those who have stepped into our space and trusted us with their health. It is an honour we never take lightly — to hold a quiet, sacred space for each and every treatment offered within our clinic walls.

Best wishes for the new year and we look forward to seeing you in 2026!

~ Jing, Sam, Shae, Penny, & Frances

New website, who dis? 👀

Have you seen our new website yet? We recently teamed up with Anna from for a complete refresh — and we’re loving the new look!

Not only does it look beautiful and better reflect our clinic, who we are, and what we stand for, but it’s also now way more organised and user-friendly. That means it’s easier than ever for our patients to find the info, help, and services they need — fast.

Our little clinic Gingko tree, with its new green Spring foliage, reminding us of life’s impermanence.

Constant change, such as the changing seasons and the dormancy and growth that they bring, show us all things are temporary. Nature encourages us to live in the present & develop resilience to adapt to life’s inevitable changes.

Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture works with nature’s energy & naturally occurring cycles. Not controlling energy, but rather harnessing it and encouraging it to flow and vitalise certain areas of your body that might be lacking. Never forcing, and only providing and guiding with an individualised approach, sensitive to what your body needs right now in the season it is in. Whether that be worn out, stagnated, overstimulated…and more.

Could this be what your current approach to health is missing?
