You read that right… just 9 clinic days left for the year — and Clinic Director Tanya is all smiles!

We’re not sure if it’s because she’s seeing so many lovely patients before we close on 23 December, or if she’s already dreaming about that two-week Christmas break…

Either way, time is running out to top up your prescriptions before we reopen on 8 January. The dispensary shelves are stocked now, but once they’re gone, that’s it until next year!

A gentle reminder to get your orders in soon — especially if you need postage.
If you’re collecting, feel free to call ahead so we can have everything packed and ready for you.

The good, the bad & the delightfully imperfect! 🥕

Practitioner Shannon loves growing healthy food for her family — and this week she’s celebrating her wonderfully wonky carrots.
“They might have been seeded a little too close together… but they still taste absolutely delicious!”

We’d love to see your beautifully imperfect home-grown creations too.

Question: What have you grown that turned out a little different — but still brought a smile? 🌱💛

That’s a wrap on a big week in Clinic — and our final week of new patient appointments with Practitioners Tanya, Shala and Shannon for the year.

(Limited follow-up appointments for existing patients are still available before Christmas.)

Our diary is now open for new Integrative Oncology patient bookings for 2026.

If you’d like a consultation with Practitioners Tanya, Shala or Shannon, please call our Reception team on (03) 9571 7498 to secure your appointment.

And on a lovely side note… how beautiful are these natives from Practitioner Shannon’s garden? They brightened the Clinic today and certainly caught patients’ attention. 🙂

It’s a great day at MIOG — it’s Acupuncturist Vicky’s first official consulting day with us! 💛✨

Clinic Director Tanya popped in to give her a warm welcome and celebrate the newest member of our MIOG practitioner team. We’re so excited to have Vicky’s expertise and gentle care on board.

Vicky is now available for consultations on Monday and Thursday afternoons.
To book, simply call our Reception team on (03) 9571 7498.

If you remember Simon the Dentist from those old TV ads, you’ll know the vibe… and just like Simon, we can’t show you Receptionist Therese’s face — she’s far too excited counting down the final clinic days of the year! 😄🎄

A gentle heads-up: if you’re hoping to order supplements before we wrap up for our Christmas break (24 Dec–8 Jan), please give our Reception team a call on (03) 9571 7498 to place your order.

And with Australia Post in full festive chaos mode, deliveries may take a little longer — so best not leave it to the last minute!

If you haven’t had the chance to meet our new practitioner, Acupuncturist Vicky, lets get to know her a little more.

When she’s not caring for patients with acupuncture, Vicky is off adventuring on caravan holidays with her husband and three children — here’s a snap from their recent getaway to Cape Patterson.

She also has a beloved “fourth furry child,” Mittens the cat, who keeps the whole family entertained.

And in the rare spare moments she gets (is that even possible with three kids and working?), Vicky creates beautiful knitted and crocheted pieces. Swipe through to see her latest crochet lap-rug project.

Vicky is available on Monday & Thursday afternoons. If you would like to make an appointment please contact Reception on (03) 9571 7498.

Hey MIOG Community,

We are very excited to introduce our latest addition to the MIOG Practitioner team – Acupuncturist Vicky!

Vicky Lee has over 30 years’ experience as an allied health clinician, she is registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), as
both an osteopath and as an acupuncturist.

Completing her Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy) degree in 1994, Vicky has worked in private clinical practice and as a lecturer in osteopathic education at both Victoria University and RMIT.

During 2015, Vicky’s personal experience of receiving acupuncture during breast cancer treatment, lead her towards training as an acupuncturist.
Completing her Master of Applied Science (Acupuncture) degree in 2019, she began work as acupuncturist eager to assist clients undergoing cancer treatment.

Vicky understands firsthand the challenges of cancer survivorship and offers a supportive and compassionate treatment, specifically tailored to your
symptoms.

Interesting fact: Vicky loves a good caravan holiday with her husband and three children, enjoys exercises regularly with Pilates and Filipino martial arts and has a creative side – she creates masterpieces through knitting and crocheting!

We look forward to welcoming Vicky to MIOG in December. She will be available for consultations on Monday and Thursday afternoons commencing Thursday 4 December.

If you would like to have a consultation with Vicky please give Reception a call on (03) 9571 7498.

Local garlic or imported garlic? 🧄It’s worth a closer look…

Methyl Bromide — a chemical banned in Australia since 2005 due to environmental harm and potential health concerns — can still be used under quarantine exemptions. One key area? The fumigation of imported garlic to prevent pests and pathogens from entering the country.

That means all garlic brought into Australia from overseas must be treated with Methyl Bromide. So it begs the question: how much are we unknowingly consuming, whether in whole bulbs or processed garlic products? 🧐

Whenever possible, we encourage choosing locally grown garlic — from farmers’ markets, independent greengrocers, and small producers. Always take a moment to check the country of origin on the display tag or ask the seller directly.

Knowing where your food comes from is a simple step that can support both your health and local growers.

Practitioner Shannon shows off the garlic she’s been growing — “they’re nearly ready!” 😀

What’s in a simple cup of tea?

At MIOG, it’s more than a warm drink.

It’s a moment to pause before an appointment… to gather your thoughts, settle your breath, or reflect on the questions you want to ask.

It’s a chance to reconnect with yourself, or share a few gentle words with someone on a similar journey in the waiting room.

It’s time to rehydrate after a busy morning or an infrared sauna session, and a small comfort in a space designed to feel safe and calm.

It’s also a place for loved ones — a welcoming seat and a warm mug while they wait and support you.

Our waiting area is open to all, and our teas are proudly sourced from local Victorian supplier, Yarra Valley Tea Co.

Today is World Pancreatic Cancer Day, part of World Pancreatic Cancer Month.

All cancer diagnoses bring immense challenges, but pancreatic cancer is particularly tough. Diagnosis often comes late, survival rates remain heartbreakingly low, and awareness is still far too limited. This must change.

At MIOG, we are honoured to support patients living with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis through integrative oncology care. Today, we’ve lit our Hyperbaric Chambers purple to stand in solidarity with patients, families, and the global community working toward better outcomes.

And a small meaningful detail: in colour therapy, purple is associated with easing inflammation — a fitting symbol as our chambers glow in support today.
