A huge welcome to dear little baby P! 💗

We are always thrilled to receive pictures of new bubbas, and isn’t she just perfection? 🥰

Sometimes pregnancy is easy and breezy, and sometimes it can be challenging

This mama moved through pregnancy challenges with such grace and resilience, I am endlessly impressed by her 💪🏻

I can’t wait to welcome her back in to the clinic for some well deserved post-natal nurturing

It’s my honour to work with parents to support them in making the families of their dreams 🤗

Whether you’re at the preconception stage or navigating IVF, we are here to support you

These past few weeks have been intensely busy!

I’ve pushed far beyond my comfort zone, and while it has been a *lot* 🙃 it’s also been super rewarding

My beautiful clinic is growing and it’s so exciting!

As a counterbalance to the dynamic Yang energy I’ve been playing with, yesterday I took a day of supreme self care:

✨Yoga with my one of my very favourite yogis .health_

✨A divine acupuncture treatment

✨ And a Sound Healing session facilitated by the gifted

✨Accompanied by a very good girlfriend (after we zen-ed out we had the best chats, sitting in the carpark 😅)

I’m feeling so restored and ready for another full week 🤗

And I feel very grateful to have such beautiful people around me

The community in the hills is a true gift ✨

I hope your weekend brought you peace and relaxation 💕

Big love from my heart to yours x

Why do we ask about your period?

In Chinese medicine, your menstrual cycle is considered a reflection of your overall health, a valuable vital sign

The quality of your bleed gives us important information about the delicate interplay of hormones throughout the cycle

It informs us about the state of Qi and Blood, Yin and Yang

Changes in flow, colour, timing and symptoms offer insight into what your body needs to come back into harmony

Guiding us towards the appropriate treatment

It’s one of the ways we listen deeply to your body’s story

So we can support you with precision and care ✨

Weekend adventuring at Wilson’s Prom 😍

Filled my cup with wild landscapes, hiking, sun and sea

First beach swims of the season at Squeaky Beach and Whisky Bay 🌊

Big Drift was insane: otherworldly terrain and so windy I nearly blew away

Time in nature and exploring new parts of the world is my best way to reset ⚡️

Now I’m back and feeling refreshed and ready for a big week in clinic ✨

My treatment room is a safe place for you to feel whatever it is you need to feel.

You don’t need to hold it back or swallow it down, you don’t need to make it pretty or palatable,

And you never, ever need to apologise when those emotions come up.

Never, ever, ever.

Oftentimes, as we work together to get to the bottom of your health concern

We identify some kind of emotional charge,

A part of the self, or a story that feels tender,

As we touch on that, emotions can come up

This is such a useful phenomenon, because it helps to release some of the stagnant Qi that can form around emotional holdings

Allowing the emotions to come out helps to free up some space and movement,

It provides space for healing to begin

Emotional distress, emotional repression or suppression can aggravate physical health issues

I’m here to help you release anything that needs to be released,

So true and integrated healing can occur ✨

The realities of content creation as a small business owner

Roping in family to help film a walk through of the clinic 🤗

Which is great when you’ve got a teenager!

They have excellent filming skills, a good eye for detail,

And they throw in the cutting critiques free of charge 🥲

It really helps keep you humble, you know?

Brain | Heart | Gut part 4

What happens when Brain, Heart and Gut are aligned?

✨Magic happens✨

When these three centres of inner intelligence are congruently aligned you know you are completely on board 💪🏻

It’s like an internal YES signal

A signal from your inner self, guiding the way

Being able to track for this alignment and use it everyday can help guide your decision making and support you in making choices that are value-aligned 💖

It can be a powerful tool to use as you navigate life

If this is something you’d like to be able to access, reach out 💕
