The moment you feel a cold coming on, act quickly — early intervention can help stop it from settling in more deeply.

Here are my top tips:

1. Make a Lung tonic tea – you’ll find the recipe in the Education section of my website.

2. Rest – this is essential. Slow down and give your body the space it needs to heal naturally.

3. Keep warm – pop on your favourite beanie, scarf and coat to protect your body from the cold.

If you find yourself catching colds frequently, you may benefit from acupuncture to help strengthen your Lung energy (Ki) and boost your immunity.

Wishing you vibrant health!

Do you struggle to get a good night's sleep? You’re not alone — and the good news is, there are things you can do to improve your sleep naturally.

Here are my top three tips for better sleep:

1. Leave your phone outside the bedroom — or, if you really need it nearby, switch it to airplane mode before bed.

2. Avoid screens (including games!) for at least one hour before going to sleep.

3. Wake up at the same time every day — consistency helps regulate your internal body clock.

Acupuncture is also a wonderful way to support healthy sleep and restore your natural biorhythms. If you’d like some extra support, I’d love to help.

When an animal is injured or unwell, it instinctively retreats to a quiet place to rest. It knows that stillness is the foundation of healing.

As humans, we often try to push through illness and pain, hoping it will resolve on its own — but when we allow ourselves to rest, we align with the body’s natural healing process. In that stillness, we can also receive the insights and wisdom that arise during recovery.

Acupuncture gently supports and accelerates your body’s natural ability to heal.

In Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM), the concept of the Three Treasures is central to understanding the body’s vital energies and overall health. The Three Treasures—often referred to as Sei, Ki, and Shen—are considered the foundational substances that sustain life and health. These three elements work together to maintain balance in the body, mind, and spirit. I'll be exploring these terms in detail in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Acupuncture—a key component of traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine—is a holistic health care system with roots stretching back centuries. Using fine needles, it aims to regulate the flow of ki (or qi) throughout the body, supporting both acute and chronic health concerns. This approach draws on a deep foundation of accumulated practice, knowledge, and clinical wisdom.

Dry needling, by contrast, is a modern technique that focuses solely on relieving muscle pain and tension. It is a treatment method rather than a complete medical system.

In Australia, acupuncture is a regulated health profession. Only practitioners who have completed a recognised degree—typically four years of full-time study in acupuncture or Traditional Chinese Medicine—and are registered with the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA) under AHPRA may legally call themselves “acupuncturists.”

Dry needling is not regulated as its own profession. Instead, it is an additional skill that certain registered health professionals—such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and massage therapists—may learn through short training programs. Some courses are as brief as two days, with no nationally standardised licensing requirements.

When choosing a practitioner, it’s important to check their qualifications, level of training, and professional registration to ensure you receive safe and appropriate care.

Whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual healing— trust that your body and heart know the way. Be patient, be gentle. Small steps, quiet moments, and consistent care and treatments often bring the deepest transformation.

In Traditional East Asian Medicine, we include cravings in our diagnosis because it can indicate which organs and meridians are out of balance.

"When the five tastes are eaten in good ratios, the five organs are well nurtured. But if there is excessive eating or craving of one of these tastes, this indicates an injury of the five organs".

Acupuncture, diet and lifestyle advice can help to bring the meridians and organs back into balance. Book online for your free 15 minute discovery chat now.

If we meet the world with an empty mind and a ready mind — with curiosity and present-moment awareness— we open ourselves to new possibilities.

Shunryu Suzuki reminds us:

“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.”

This quote has been on my mind as I return to read the Toyohari Foundation Program textbook. I'm going back to the basics with fresh eyes and an open heart—hoping to remember what I may have forgotten, and to discover deeper layers of insight into this gentle, profound form of acupuncture.

Never tried acupuncture?
Why not bring a beginner’s mind and explore the rich healing tradition of Traditional East Asian Medicine? You may be surprised by what you find.
