Supporting you through breastfeeding and lactation ๐Ÿค

This stage can be beautiful, but it can also come with its own challenges, especially as your body is still recovering and adjusting after birth.

In Chinese medicine, we often look at supporting blood, energy, and the flow through the body to help with milk production and overall wellbeing.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can gently support:
โ€ข milk supply
โ€ข flow and let-down
โ€ข fatigue and depletion
โ€ข emotional wellbeing during this time

Some gentle ways to support your body through this time:
โ€ข eat enough
โ€ข prioritise warm, nourishing meals
โ€ข stay well hydrated
โ€ข rest where you can
โ€ข include foods that support blood and energy

Things like congee, soups, broths, oats, and warming teas can be especially helpful during this time.

Every feeding journey looks different, and the most important thing is that you feel supported in what works for you and your baby.

While I see a great response from acupuncture in the clinic, I know itโ€™s not always easy or possible to get here during the newborn phase.

Amie also offers online consultations, where she can support you with dietary, lifestyle, and Chinese herbal recommendations tailored to you ๐Ÿค

Fertility isnโ€™t just about the eggโ€ฆ itโ€™s 50% s***m too ๐ŸŒฟ

When weโ€™re supporting fertility, itโ€™s so important to look at both sides.

S***m health is an area Iโ€™ve done additional study in, as I often see men told their s***m is โ€œfineโ€ without really understanding what their results mean or whether there may still be areas that could be improved and supported.

There can often be more to explore when looking closely at factors like motility, morphology and overall s***m health, particularly when trying to optimise fertility outcomes.

For s***m health, weโ€™re often looking at:
โ€ข motility (how well they swim)
โ€ข morphology (shape and structure)
โ€ข overall vitality, alongside other factors

Some supportive foods to include:

โ€ข Pumpkin seeds โ†’ rich in zinc for s***m production
โ€ข Eggs โ†’ protein and key nutrients for s***m health
โ€ข Walnuts โ†’ omega 3s to support motility
โ€ข Sardines โ†’ rich in omega 3s and minerals
โ€ข Spinach โ†’ folate for s***m quality
โ€ข Pomegranate โ†’ antioxidants and blood flow support
โ€ข Goji berries โ†’ used in Chinese medicine to support vitality

More broadly, focusing on a wholefood diet rich in antioxidants can make a big difference.

Think plenty of fruits and vegetables, good quality proteins and fats, while minimising highly processed, deep fried, and fast foods where possible.

Just as important is reducing things that can impact s***m quality:

โ€ข excess alcohol
โ€ข heat (think laptops, hot baths, tight clothing)
โ€ข smoking or recreational drugs
โ€ข exposure to chemicals and toxins

In clinic, everything is always tailored to the individual, so dietary and lifestyle recommendations will vary depending on the person. These are simply general foundations to build from.

Has s***m health been checked as part of your journey?

Save this for later or send it to someone who needs the reminder โœจ

Caesarean scar treatment ๐Ÿฉน

Caesarean delivery accounts for roughly one third of births in Australia.

Caesareans cut through many layers of tissues, starting at:
โœ‚ the skin
โœ‚ adipose tissue
โœ‚ fascia
โœ‚ peritoneum
โœ‚ the uterus
โœ‚ the amniotic sac

From a Chinese medicine perspective, the flow of qi and blood can become obstructed at the incision site, and the surrounding tissues form scar tissue, which is often thicker and more dense.

The fibres of connective tissue can lose their natural alignment, which may contribute to a thicker or more noticeable scar.

This can sometimes be associated with symptoms such as local scar pain, reduced sensation, pelvic discomfort, pain with urination or bowel movements, painful periods, and emotional challenges during the postpartum period.

Acupuncture can be used to support healing of the scar, helping to improve its appearance and reduce redness and thickness over time.

The fine needles gently stimulate the area, encouraging circulation and supporting the bodyโ€™s natural repair and regeneration processes.

Treatment can also support the flow of qi and blood through the affected area, helping to restore balance and function.

From around 6 weeks postpartum, treatment can begin, depending on individual healing and overall health.

Ideally, we love to support women in the postpartum period not only for scar treatment, but to begin the process of rebuilding, nourishing, and restoring after pregnancy and birth.

6 weeks postpartum is a general guideline and may vary depending on individual healing and recovery.

Amie offers gentle, personalised scar treatment in the clinic, supporting healing, recovery, and overall wellbeing during the postpartum period ๐Ÿค

PCOS has officially been renamed!

Polycystic O***y Syndrome is now being referred to as PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome).

This change reflects something many women have felt for a long timeโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s not just about the ovaries.

Itโ€™s a complex condition that can affect multiple systems in the body, and can look very different from person to person.

You might notice changes in your cycle, skin, energy, mood, metabolism, or simply feel not quite like yourself.

In Chinese medicine, we take an individualised, whole-body approach, looking at whatโ€™s happening in your body as a whole.

No two people experience this the same way, and your treatment should reflect that.

If this is something youโ€™re navigating, youโ€™re not alone ๐Ÿค

If this is something youโ€™d like support with, bookings are available.

Motherโ€™s Day ๐ŸŒธ

Today can mean so many different things.

For some, itโ€™s a day of celebration, love, and connection.
For others, it can feel tender, complicated, or quietly heavy.

To the mums in the thick of it, running on little sleep and giving so much of themselvesโ€ฆ
To those longing to become a mumโ€ฆ
To those who have experienced lossโ€ฆ
To those navigating difficult relationshipsโ€ฆ
To the ones missing their mum, or a mother figureโ€ฆ
And to the women who nurture, support, and care in so many different waysโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m thinking of you ๐Ÿค

Sending love to you today, whatever this day looks like for you ๐ŸŒฟ

A fresh Love Tea delivery at the clinic ๐Ÿค

Unpacking one of my favourite thingsโ€ฆ our Love Tea blends (with Teddy supervising, of course ๐Ÿถ)

I love having these in the clinic, thereโ€™s nothing better than a lovely cup of tea.

Some clinic favourites at the moment:
Turmeric Tea, Caffeine Free Chai, and Calming

Such a simple way to support your body day to day, whether itโ€™s digestion, relaxation, or just taking a moment for yourself.

Theyโ€™re also just really deliciousโ€ฆ which always helps โœจ

Jujube, also known as Chinese red dates, are one of my favourite TCM staples for gently nourishing blood and supporting vitality ๐ŸŒฟ

In Chinese medicine, they are often recommended to support blood, digestion, and energy, while also helping to calm the mind and nervous system.

They are particularly helpful if youโ€™re feeling:
โ€ข tired or run down
โ€ข depleted (especially after your period or postpartum)
โ€ข struggling with sleep or a busy mind
โ€ข experiencing poor appetite or weak digestion

Itโ€™s a simple way to add a little extra nourishment into your day.

When to have them
โ€ข in the morning to gently support energy
โ€ข in the afternoon if you tend to hit a slump
โ€ข in the evening as a calming tea to wind down

How to have them
โ€ข Simmer a few in hot water for a simple tea
โ€ข Add to congee, soups, or broths
โ€ข Pair with goji berries for extra nourishment
โ€ข Use in herbal teas or slow-cooked meals

They have a naturally sweet, slightly caramel-like flavour and pair beautifully with warming, nourishing foods.

Such a simple, gentle way to support your body โœจ

Have you tried Jujube before?

Postpartum support with acupuncture ๐ŸŒธ

Welcoming a new baby into the world is such a beautiful and transformative timeโ€ฆ but it can also be deeply demanding on your body and mind.

In Chinese medicine, the first 40 days after birth, often called the fourth trimester, are considered a crucial window for healing, recovery, and rebuilding.

Itโ€™s a time to be gently supported, nourished, and cared for.

Acupuncture offers a natural, nurturing way to help guide you through this phase.

Why consider acupuncture during the fourth trimester?

โœจ Supports recovery
Helping to ease pain, reduce fatigue, and support your body as it heals after birth

โœจ Emotional support
Calming the nervous system, supporting mood, and helping you feel more like yourself again

โœจ Supports lactation
Encouraging healthy milk supply and supporting flow

โœจ Hormonal balance
Helping regulate shifts that can show up as night sweats, mood changes, or feeling depleted

โœจ Time to pause
A space for you to rest, reset, and be looked after, even just for a moment

โœจ Rebuilding energy
Supporting Blood and energy so you can feel more steady, nourished, and supported

This stage isnโ€™t just about getting throughโ€ฆ itโ€™s about being supported as you recover and step into this new chapter.

If getting into the clinic feels like too much during this time, I also offer online consultations where I can support you with diet, lifestyle, and herbal recommendations tailored to you.

Sending so much love to all the mums moving through this season ๐Ÿค
