We feel like this chair has well and truly earned its place on the grid!

After a long search for the perfect reception armchair… we’ve finally found it.

Our criteria:
Comfort (non-negotiable)
Not too low - for all our pregnant women 🤍

We’ll let you decide which one took top priority.

Easter in Brisbane 🐰

There’s that subtle seasonal shift - you might feel it in the cooler mornings, the slower pace, the pull to stay home a little more.

In Chinese medicine, Autumn is a time for:
• slowing down
• conserving energy
• letting go of what’s no longer needed

Not a big “fresh start” energy… but a quieter reset.

And through a fertility and pregnancy lens, this matters.

Because supporting the body to conceive, hold, and grow life isn’t just about doing more - it’s also about:
• rest
• nourishment
• regulating the nervous system
• creating space

Autumn reminds us that fertility is supported in stillness as much as in action.

So if this long weekend feels like an invitation to do less - take it. Stay home. Cancel a plan. Blame the price of petrol if you need to 😉

Rest is not lazy - it’s medicine.

And enjoy the chocolate eggs. One or two (or a few) can absolutely be part of the weekend.

But from a Chinese medicine perspective, don’t forget the humble real egg too—rich in Blood and Yin, deeply nourishing, and especially supportive as we move into cooler months.

Our Easter hours:
Closed Friday & Monday

Back Tuesday

We’re taking a little seasonal pause, except for Saturday when Lou and Susan will be here 🥰.

Happy birthday Danielle!

It’s not an exaggeration to say Yin truly wouldn’t be here without you (because it was originally your idea!).
You are always up for a laugh at a comedian, you are the only reason the Yin plants are looking great, and you are forever ready for a book chat - sometimes a little too ready… so a special shoutout to our community who somehow make it out the door while we spiral into yet another book discussion.

You’re the one we all turn to - whether it’s a proofread, a second opinion, or a full mental workshop of an idea - and you always make everything better.

We hope your day has a little less doing-for-everyone-else and a little more being celebrated (and hopefully a long lunch in there somewhere). 🍷

We had every intention of doing a tidy “first day with Lou” post on Tuesday…

…but between catching up, seeing clients, eating noodles and chocolates, and celebrating the fact that she started on her birthday (yes, really 😄), we completely forgot 🙈. Honestly, all good signs that she’s going to fit right in at Yin.

Since starting, Lou’s clients have been absolutely loving their sessions - and even better, they’re already rebooking for next week. Always the best feedback.

So while this pic isn’t from Tuesday - her birthday and first day - we promise we’ll share some snaps of Lou in our Yin space very soon.

If you’d like to meet Lou, she will be working Tuesdays and Saturdays, so jump online to secure a spot.

We’re so glad she’s here 🤍

One of the questions we’re often asked is:

“is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?”

The answer from the research is a very clear “yes”! When provided by a qualified, registered practitioner, acupuncture is considered safe at all stages of pregnancy. Studies consistently show no increased risk to baby or parent, with side effects (when they occur) usually mild and short-lived.

At Yin, all of our acupuncturists are AHPRA-registered with additional training in fertility, pregnancy and perinatal care. We support people from early pregnancy right through to birth, with confidence, care and evidence-informed practice.

If you’d like to dive into the research (or just feel reassured), our latest blog breaks it all down

We are so incredibly proud to share the beginnings of one of our client’s heartfelt projects - Wish for a Butterfly 🦋

These affirmation cards support women through fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, pregnancy after loss, and new motherhood - gentle, grounding words created from lived experience and reviewed by perinatal health professionals.

Being alongside her through fertility, loss and hope, and now seeing her with this beautiful baby, has been really special. Watching that journey shape something that supports others on similar paths feels very full circle.

You can check out Wish for a Butterfly online (wfab.org), or take a look at the cards in our reception area when you’re next in 🤍

So lovely to see this lived experience become a support for others.

23/01/2026

In 2025, Australia released its first-ever national, evidence-based clinical guidelines for male infertility - something we feel is long overdue and incredibly exciting for couples navigating infertility.

Despite male factors contributing to around 50% of infertility cases, assessment has historically focused far more on women. Until now, Australia lacked clear, country-specific guidance for clinicians on how to properly investigate and manage male infertility. These guidelines finally help to address that imbalance.

What do the guidelines cover?
Published in the Medical Journal of Australia and developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel, they outline evidence-based recommendations across the male fertility pathway, including:

• When to investigate male fertility - and importantly, not to delay it
• A key recommendation that semen analysis be performed at the same time as female hormonal testing, rather than months (or years) later - women have historically been investigated much earlier than men
• Comprehensive history taking and physical examination
• Appropriate use of semen analysis, hormonal testing, imaging and genetic investigations
• Clear referral pathways and management options
• The importance of counselling and shared decision-making - and hopefully, shared responsibility

Why this matters:
Earlier and more thorough identification of male factor contributors can be game-changing. When underlying issues are recognised sooner, treatable or reversible causes may be addressed before jumping straight to ART.

This means:
• Some couples may conceive naturally once male factors are supported
• Others may still need ART - but often with improved s***m parameters and better outcomes
• Fewer couples being fast-tracked to IVF or ICSI without fully understanding the male side of the equation

The guidelines also highlight that male infertility can be an early marker of broader health concerns - reinforcing the importance of comprehensive, whole-body and integrative care.

This is a huge win for fertility care in Australia, and we’re really looking forward to seeing meaningful, positive changes for couples in the years ahead.

We’re so excited to officially welcome Lou MacGraw to the Yin team!

Lou is a degree-qualified acupuncturist with a background in naturopathy, and a real passion for supporting people through fertility, pregnancy and overall women’s health. She’s been mentored by some amazing practitioners, and we’re so excited to have her bring this knowledge to our team.

We feel so lucky that Lou is joining us - some of you may know her from , where she works alongside our alum, Kathryn. Lou brings a calm, thoughtful and deeply patient-centred approach that aligns beautifully with our values and philosophy.

We’ve loved getting to know Lou over the past few months - being treated to eggs from her chickens (yes, even blue ones!), discovering chocolate we probably shouldn’t have and meeting her lovely daughter along the way.

Lou will be at Yin on Tuesdays and Saturdays, starting 3rd of February and bookings are now open. We’re so excited to offer more availability to our community!

Please join us in giving Lou a warm Yin welcome - we can’t wait for you to meet her in person!

Have you noticed a new face around Yin lately? 👀

We’re excited to share that a new practitioner will be joining the team very soon.

We’ve been training together quietly for a couple of months, because consistency in our approach and care really matters to us. She shares our values, our inclusive philosophy, and our evidence-informed approach to Chinese medicine, fertility and women’s health.

In short — she’s very Yin 🤍

Full introduction coming next week.

Acupuncture can support male fertility by working with the body’s key reproductive systems.

Research shows acupuncture may positively support reproductive health by influencing the hypothalamic–pituitary–testicular (HPT) axis, which plays a central role in testosterone production and s***m development (1). By helping regulate this hormonal pathway, acupuncture may support healthy s***matogenesis and overall s***m quality.
Studies have also observed improvements in key s***m parameters, including motility and concentration (2), alongside reduced physiological stress on the body (3).

From a Chinese medicine perspective, treatment focuses on supporting Qi movement, Blood flow, and Kidney system function - all essential for healthy s***m production.

Acupuncture supports:
💪 Blood flow to the te**es
⚖️ Hormonal balance (HPT axis regulation)
🧘 Stress regulation and nervous system balance
⚡ Qi movement and overall vitality

S***m take around 10 weeks to develop, which is why we typically recommend weekly acupuncture sessions over this full cycle, when possible.

Men’s fertility deserves time, consistency, and care — and Manuary is the perfect time to start that conversation. For the month of January, we’re offering men’s initial fertility acupuncture appointments at the follow-up rate of $115 (usually $140).

05/01/2026

Cold therapy gets talked about in men’s fertility for one simple reason: s***m are very temperature-sensitive.
S***m are produced best at around 2 - 4°C below core body temperature, which is why the te**es sit outside the body. Chronic heat exposure (think tight underwear, skins or lycra, laptops, prolonged sitting, cycling, hot baths and saunas) has been linked with lower s***m count, motility, morphology and increased DNA damage (1).

Gentle, short-term cooling may help by reducing excess heat and oxidative stress in the te**es, creating a more supportive environment for s***m development. This matters because s***m take around 2–3 months to mature. What’s happening now affects future s***m quality.

That said, cold therapy isn’t a standalone fix. Meaningful improvements in s***m health come from addressing the bigger picture - reducing heat exposure day to day, supporting the body with nutrition, managing stress, and using therapies like acupuncture to optimise circulation and hormonal signalling.

At Yin, we offer a range of Traditional Chinese Medicine and more modern techniques in our treatments for s***m health - acupuncture, electro acupuncture, low level laser therapy (photobiomodulation - ie no heat) and lifestyle advice as above.
