In Traditional Chinese Medicine, warmth is life. It’s the spark that keeps everything flowing from digestion to hormones to energy.

The idea is: when your digestive fire is strong, and warm, flowing, you’re able to pull more nutrition from your food, circulate it through your body, and keep your system balanced. When that fire weakens, things start to slow down. Digestion feels heavier, energy dips, hormones become unpredictable, and the body begins to feel cold from the inside out.

That’s why warmth matters so much, especially for women. The womb and digestive organs are seen as the body’s core, the place where life force (qi) is built and stored. Keeping that centre warm supports not just digestion, but also sleep, mood, fertility, and vitality.

So if you’ve been feeling a little more fatigued, unsettled, or hormonally off, and you don’t know where to start, start here ( and book in to have a deeper chat about how we can support you)

Keep your food warm.
Keep your liquids warm.
Keep your body warm.

Each session is completely unique, and what comes through each week always seems to meet me exactly where I’m at. This week, everything seemed to circle back to my nervous system, being “on”, overstimulation, that feeling of holding too much and not quite having enough rest.

The session was all about bringing balance back in, and I’m so glad I showed up for it. I’d been struggling with my sleep all week, and since then, I’ve been sleeping so well. Safe to say, I’ll definitely be back next week.

Every day in clinic looks a little different, but there are some things we hear almost every single day.

Concerns around digestion, emotions, sleep, energy, fertility, and cycle changes tend to come up again and again. Things like bloating, PMS, sore breasts, fatigue, trouble sleeping, and irregular or uncomfortable cycles are some of the most common symptoms we support along side cycle support, conception preparation & pregnancy & postpartum support.

And then, alongside these, we get to hear the words that make this work feel so rewarding.
“I felt better this week.”
“My period was so much better last month.”
“The treatments have been helping so much.”
“I felt pregnant.”

And of course, the messages and photos that follow, when babies arrive earthside.
Those are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.

There’s not much that warms our hearts more than beginning the day with photos and messages of the beautiful babies now earth-side.

For us, it’s always more than just appointments for fertility or pregnancy. It’s about connection, care, and truly listening and understanding you as a whole. That’s what makes these messages and photos so incredibly special.

Welcome to the world, Edward. Congratulations Jane and Mick on your beautiful baby boy.

Acupuncture has become so much more than just a form of support for me. It’s a space where I can express how I’m truly feeling, about my world, my relationships, my health, my fears, and my concerns, and allow it all to land in the hands of someone who understands the body on a much deeper level.

I often come in with symptoms that I don’t immediately see the connection between, like sleep and digestion, pain & stagnation/ stress and certain moods, cravings etc , but after some time chatting with Philippa, she always seems to help me connect the dots.

She’ll then work with a series of acupuncture points, often in places I don’t expect: sometimes on my abdomen, sometimes my lower limbs, and sometimes even my forehead when I’m feeling stressed. I don’t always understand the mechanics of what’s happening, but I do understand how deeply it’s been working.

It’s been instrumental in easing my stress, supporting my PMS and PCOS, and helping me manage a history of endometriosis. Beyond the acupuncture itself, the tailored lifestyle advice she’s offered has helped me find a greater sense of balance within my body.

It’s become a staple in my self-care, and right now, I’m here again, being supported through stress management and helping regulate my cycles with more ease

Sometimes people think Chinese medicine is just acupuncture, but it is so, so much more than that.

Acupuncture is one of the most commonly used treatments in our clinic because it’s incredibly safe, supportive for the body, and often brings works with the body when looking for relief from symptoms. But behind each session lies a whole world of ancient wisdom and interconnected practices.

Your treatment may also include moxibustion (the warming of specific points to nourish and move energy), cupping therapy (to release stagnation and improve circulation), herbal medicine, and other subtle techniques that guide the body back to balance.

Each element works together to address not just the physical, but also the emotional, energetic, and spiritual aspects of health.

Chinese medicine isn’t just about points and needles. It’s about understanding you, your sleep, your digestion, your mood, your cravings, your energy, your dreams, and using that insight to support your most aligned and authentic state of wellbeing.

Chinese medicine is so much more than meridian lines and acupuncture points.

It’s about understanding how your whole being is showing up, your body, emotions, spirit, and sense of self in the world.

We look for the subtle signs your body offers: changes in your sleep, dreams, energy, cravings, or emotions. Every one of these holds valuable insight into how your system is communicating and where it might need gentle guidance.

Through this holistic lens, we work to bring your body back into its most authentic, balanced, and aligned state, where harmony and health naturally unfold.

We truly believe that the people who support you on your path to motherhood, postpartum, healing, and calm are incredibly important. Having trusted people in your corner, those you can bring your symptoms, emotions, thoughts, and fears to, knowing they will be safely held, is at the heart of what we value.

A big part of our practice is the ability to listen, to truly resonate with and understand your experience. Both Philippa and Sury offer this insight through their own lived experiences as women, their deep understanding of the cycles and phases we all move through, and the unique lenses they each bring to supporting you.

We want to thank you for the trust and support you’ve placed in us since The Good Egg first opened. It means so much. We’ll continue to honour that trust by offering the highest level of care, empathy, knowledge and support in all that we do.

You’ve probably heard the old saying that women have a 28-day cycle and ovulate on day 14… but research now shows just how limited that idea really is.

In fact, ovulation can happen anytime between day 12 and day 18, depending on your individual cycle length. And a healthy cycle itself can range anywhere from 21 to 37 days. There’s no one “normal” just your own cycle, and there is a lot of healthy variation from person to person.

The most common ovulation day is day 13 (27%), followed by day 15 (21%) and day 12 (17%). Fewer women ovulate on day 14 (14%) or day 16 (13%), showing that ovulation timing varies slightly for each individual.

Understanding your unique cycle and learning how to track ovulation signs is key. Whether you’re trying to conceive or avoid pregnancy naturally, this knowledge can change everything, from fertility planning to how you eat, move, and rest.

If you’re ready to understand your cycle more deeply and live in sync with your body, reach out for a consultation. We’re here to support you.
