Endometriosis Awareness Month.

So many women are told that period pain is “normal”.
While period pain is common, ongoing or debilitating pain is not something you simply have to accept.

Endometriosis affects around 1 in 9 Australian women, and diagnosis can take many years — often 6–8 years on average. That’s a long time to feel unheard.

Research is continuing to explore how acupuncture may support women experiencing endometriosis-related pain. For example, a 2017 randomised controlled trial published in PLOS ONE found that acupuncture was associated with a reduction in endometriosis-related pain compared with sham treatment in the short term (Armour et al., 2017).

For some women, acupuncture offers a non-hormonal option that can sit alongside medical care as part of a broader wellbeing plan.

If you are navigating symptoms, waiting for answers, or building your care team, acupuncture may be something to consider as part of your individual journey.

We are an AHPRA registered practitioner and AACMA member. If you'd like to explore Acupuncture as part of your treatment plan, drop us a message or book in for a consultation by clicking Contact Us above.

Osteoporosis affects many Australians, particularly over the age of 50, and is often managed through a combination of medical care, lifestyle support and ongoing monitoring.

This post from Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA) because it highlights emerging research exploring how acupuncture may be used alongside conventional treatment as part of a broader care approach.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine take an individualised, holistic view of health and may be considered as a complementary therapy within a coordinated plan developed with your GP or specialist. Care is tailored to each person and designed to support overall wellbeing while working alongside standard medical management.

If you’re curious about whether this approach could be appropriate for you, I’m always happy to have a conversation and encourage open communication with your healthcare team.

I love this post because it highlights so many of the reasons people explore acupuncture.

Many people seek acupuncture for support with things like stress, sleep, digestive or hormonal balance, and general wellbeing. Acupuncture works alongside the body’s natural systems and is increasingly being studied for its potential benefits across a range of health areas.

Below is a snapshot of some of the ways acupuncture is commonly used to support overall balance and wellbeing:

Did you know acupuncture is just one part of Traditional Chinese Medicine?
TCM takes a whole-person approach to health, with treatments tailored to your individual presentation, lifestyle and goals — not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Acupuncture is more than just needles. It’s a comprehensive, holistic health system supported by ongoing research and modern clinical practice.
As an AACMA practitioner I hold nationally accredited qualifications and follow strict professional standards to ensure safe, effective care.

Depending on your individual needs, a treatment plan may also include:
• Cupping – a traditional technique used to encourage circulation and tissue relaxation
• Moxibustion – gentle heat therapy using mugwort to support warmth and vitality
• Dietary therapy – food recommendations based on TCM principles and your constitution
• Tui Na – therapeutic Chinese bodywork to support movement and balance
• Chinese herbal medicine – personalised herbal formulas prescribed where appropriate

Welcome to 2026!

As we step into a new year, it’s a great time to reconnect with approaches to health and wellbeing that have stood the test of time.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practised for thousands of years, and today continues to be used alongside modern healthcare approaches.

The post below shares more about TCM, its long history, and how to find a qualified practitioner in Australia.

Did you know that seasonal foods play an important role in traditional Chinese medicine nutrition? 🍉
In Summer, naturally cooling foods are often enjoyed to help support the body during warmer weather. Here’s why watermelon is a popular choice at this time of year.
If you’d like to learn more about seasonal eating from a Chinese medicine perspective, contact us for general information tailored to you.

Yes, I know there have been quite a few changes from me lately, and I truly appreciate everyone’s patience and support as my practice evolves.

I’ll soon be finishing up at where I’ve been offering appointments during 2025. It has been a genuinely lovely space to work from, and I’m grateful for the time spent there and for everyone I’ve had the chance to meet.

If you’d like an appointment before I leave, there are only two weeks left. My final day at Frisbee clinic will be Wednesday 17th December.

As I refocus my practice closer to home, I’m looking forward to welcoming you into my other locations for the months ahead — including a new and exciting Adelaide Hills location coming soon. For details on where I’ll be available, please check my website.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this transition.
