✨ Acupuncture for Staying Well ✨

Did you know… in ancient China, an acupuncturist was paid to keep you well? Patients would see their practitioner regularly, and if they became unwell, they didn’t have to pay. Health was about prevention, not just treatment.

Somewhere along the way, the modern world flipped that idea — we often wait until something is wrong before we seek help.

But what if we returned to that wisdom?
🌱 One needle at a time, acupuncture helps restore balance, calm the mind, and support your body to stay well.

💫 Ready to prioritise prevention? Book your session today.

What does your practitioner consume on the daily?
🥣 Congee, of course. Congee is a traditional Chinese rice porridge that’s slow-cooked until the grains completely break down. In Chinese medicine, it’s considered one of the most nourishing breakfasts for Spleen & digestive energy.. warm, gentle, and incredibly easy to absorb.

✨ Why congee is gut gold
• Acts as a natural pre- and probiotic when cooked long and slow
• Soothes and repairs the digestive lining
• Supports nutrient absorption and stable energy
• Perfect for tired, stressed, inflamed, postpartum, hormonal, or depleted systems (this is me right now)

In TCM, breakfast sets the tone for the whole day and warm, cooked foods build Qi and Blood, while cold or rushed meals slowly drain them.

But let’s be real…
In modern life, many of us are time-poor but healing-hungry. We want gut repair, energy, and hormone balance now! without spending hours in the kitchen.

That’s why we love Conjo Congee 💛
A women-owned, locally made congee created by fellow acupuncturist Becki Milani, so you know it’s made with deep TCM wisdom and real-life practicality in mind.

What makes this reel even sweeter?
📸 Another local woman’s work in the background — because community supporting community is kind of our love language.

And to finish our morning ritual…
🍵 Nurtur Tea Morning Lift — grounding, gently energising, and the perfect digestive companion.
(Both Conjo Congee + Nurtur Tea are available in clinic.)

👉 Ask about them at your next appointment, your gut (and nervous system) will thank you.
Relax, no stress… just congee 💛

🌸✨ 2026 – The Year of Blossoming ✨🌸

For the past few years, Dr Kirby Quin has been quietly weaving a vision into reality – long days, late nights, and a whole lot of heart. From the very first needle placed, to the glow of a skin session, to the tender care of a mother in her fourth trimester… each moment has been about creating spaces where women feel held, nourished, and seen.

And now – in 2026 – that vision is alive and thriving.

What began as a seed is now a thriving garden – rooted in Chinese medicine, guided by the rhythms of nature, and grounded in Kirby’s deep devotion to women’s health.

And the best part? For the first time in a long while, Dr Kirby has space for new patients. 🌙

✨ Fertility journeys
✨ Pregnancy + postpartum support
✨ Hormonal health + cycle care
✨ Skin sessions that nourish from the inside out

This is your invitation to step into the new year with care, balance, and beauty – from the inside, out.

Male Fertility Matters 🤍

(Because it takes two to tango)

When couples are trying to conceive, the focus so often falls on the woman.
But the facts tell a different story.

👉 Male factors contribute to up to 40–50% of infertility cases.

S***m health isn’t just about numbers.. it’s about:
• motility (movement)
• morphology (shape)
• DNA integrity
• hormones
• stress levels
• inflammation
• lifestyle and nervous system balance

✨ Acupuncture can support male fertility by:
• improving blood flow to the te**es
• regulating hormones
• reducing stress and cortisol
• supporting s***m quality and vitality
• restoring balance after illness, burnout, or long-term stress

At our clinic, 97% of our patients are women — we want to change that narrative!
fertility works best when both partners are supported.

Because conception doesn’t happen in isolation.
And neither should fertility care.

🤍 Support the couple.
🤍 Support the system.
🤍 Support both bodies.

I’ve just started:
• Eat With the Flow by Taryn Darlow
• Seeds of Sisterhood by Melissa Kovacevic

💛 Eat With the Flow was gifted to me for Christmas by my auntie — and honestly, what an aligned gift. Food as medicine, rhythm, and nourishment… yes please.
Now I get to share these delicious, cycle-supportive recipes with you, which feels like the full-circle magic of it all.

🌸 Seeds of Sisterhood feels like soul food — reminding us of connection, feminine wisdom, and the power of tending to ourselves gently and intentionally.

I love finding simple, whole-food ways to support the menstrual cycle, balance hormones, and honour where we’re at — without restriction, pressure, or perfection.

✨ Relax, no stress… just breathe.
✨ Nourish the phase you’re in.

Who else is starting the year with books that feel like medicine? 💫

How many acupuncture sessions will I need? 🤍

This is one of the most common questions we get and the honest answer is: it depends on the individual.

Here’s a general guide we use in clinic 👇

✨ Acute issues (recent pain, flare-ups, stress spikes)
→ 3–6 sessions
Often weekly to settle symptoms and support recovery.

✨ Chronic conditions (hormones, digestion, skin, pain, fatigue)
→ 6–10 sessions
Consistency matters — acupuncture is cumulative and builds change over time.

✨ Fertility, cycle regulation, postpartum & menopause support
→ Weekly or fortnightly for 2–3 months
We’re working with your hormones, Blood, Qi and nervous system.. slow, steady, nourishing work.

✨ Maintenance & prevention
→ Every 4–6 weeks
Think of it like a tune-up for your nervous system, immune system, and energy.

🌿 Chinese medicine isn’t a one-off fix
We’re restoring balance, not just chasing symptoms — and that takes time, gentleness, and repetition.

If you’ve ever wondered “Is this working?” — trust that each session is layering change, even when it’s subtle.

Relax, no stress… just breathe.
Your body knows how to heal when given the right support 🤍
