Healing Touch

Healing Touch Returning You to Health, Vitality and a Balanced Body Angelina originally came from China, Guangzhou city. Her brother is a local acupuncturist and herbalist.

It is a very traditional city; people there understand the TCM philosophy and the Five elements theory naturally and apply it in their daily lives. She remembers that her parents always boiled soup with some herbs which helps the body to remain in balance. She was brought up in such an atmosphere so for her, TCM philosophy and acupuncture points are naturally rooted within her body. Therefore her

son and her family all benefit from these ancient forms, such as Tui Na, Gua Sha, and Moxa. These experiences really encouraged her to become an acupuncturist to be able to help others. That is why she decided to study and practice the wonderful unique form of medicine. Angelina is not only a registered acupuncturist but also a baby massage instructor and qigong exercise coach. Angelina also has a diploma in paediatric acupuncture. Angelina treats each patient’s problem as a unique case. An individualized treatment plan is designed according to an individual's specific needs and underlying issues. From taking a Chinese medicine view of health, Angelina will incorporate Yang Sheng advice tailored to your health and lifestyle into her sessions which is all about taking care of the body to minimise ill health later down the line.

Some women experience more internal heat 🔥
Some feel emotionally stuck or irritable 😤
Others feel exhausted, foggy, and depleted 😴

When we understand the pattern underneath the symptoms, we can support the body more gently and effectively.

Most women going through perimenopause or menopause just want one thing: relief.

So they go straight to HRT. Often without testing. Sometimes without even being asked about their symptoms first.

And here's what no one tells you — sometimes the "solution" creates more problems than the original symptoms.

Restless legs. No sleep for months. Brain fog so bad you can't work.

It's not that HRT is bad. It's that hormones are not one-size-fits-all. And when your body is already out of balance, adding more hormones without understanding the root pattern can backfire.

Your body wasn't attacking you. It was asking for help — just in a language Western medicine doesn't always hear.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. And you don't have to keep guessing.

DM me "BALANCE" if you want to understand what your body is really trying to say.

Why does your belly look 6 months pregnant by dinner after 40?

It's not what you're eating. It's how your digestion changed.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this often points to Spleen Qi deficiency with dampness. Think of your digestion like a cooking pot — after 40, your digestive fire can get weaker. So even if you eat the same foods, food and fluids just sit there. That's the bloating.

Here's one acupressure point to try:

📍 Zu San Li (Stomach 36)
→ Four finger-widths below kneecap (pinky touching kneecap)
→ One finger-width outward from shin bone
→ Massage with thumb in slow circles, 1-2 minutes each leg

This point strengthens digestive energy and helps move that heavy, stuck feeling.

Why do so many women notice more lower belly bloating, heaviness, and puffiness during perimenopause? 🌿
In TCM, this may be connected to “cold and dampness” slowing digestion and circulation — especially when hormones are changing.
A simple warming tea many women enjoy for digestion support:
✨ Belly Warming Tea • 3–4 slices fresh ginger
• 1/3 tsp cinnamon powder
• 2 thin orange slices (skin on)
• Hot water
Steep for 5–10 minutes. Press the orange slices gently with a spoon before drinking.
Many women drink this: ☕ 1 cup daily
☕ Best in the morning or after meals
☕ Try consistently for 1–2 weeks
This tea is traditionally used in TCM to help warm digestion, move stagnation, and reduce that heavy “stuck” feeling.
⚠️ If you notice too much heat, dryness, or bright yellow urine, pause for a few days.

You ate the same breakfast. Same lunch. Nothing changed. So why do you feel so bloated?

From a TCM perspective, this often points to Spleen Qi deficiency with dampness. Think of your digestion like a cooking pot — after 40, your digestive fire can get weaker.

Here's one acupressure point to try:

Zu San Li (Stomach 36)
→ Four fingers below kneecap (pinky touching kneecap)
→ One finger outward from shin bone
→ Massage with thumb in slow circles, 1-2 minutes each leg

This helps strengthen digestive energy and move that heavy, stuck feeling.

Menopause rage is real — and it's not just about your hormones.

In Western medicine, we look at dropping estrogen.

In Chinese medicine, we ask: why is your body struggling to stay balanced?

When Yin runs low and Liver Qi gets stuck, heat builds. That heat rises. And suddenly everything feels louder, sharper, and much harder to tolerate.

Try this: a warm foot bath before bed. 10 minutes. Draws the heat down. Calms the mind.

Comment COOL and I will send you the link 🧊

You're not broken. You just need more cooling.
