As the coldness and quiet of winter retreats, new shoots push through the earth and spring starts to unfurl. In Chinese Medicine, spring is the season of renewal, creativity and growth - a time for your body to gently awake and expand your energy for the warmer months ahead.

The Liver and Gallbladder organs are strongest during spring and their energy directs us towards movement, growth and expansion. This is a time of vision, creativity and planning - the perfect time to dream, designs and set intentions for the year ahead.

Here are our top tips to make the most of this wonderful, expansive season 💛

💧 Stay hydrated - sip warm water or light teas to nourish your Liver organ.
🥗 Eat fresh + light foods - think leafy greens, sprouts, citrus and lighter meals to help the body cleanse and refresh. Choose lighter foods and step away from the heavier meals of winter. Green vegetables are fresh, seasonable and support the Liver organ.
🚶‍♀️Move gently - yoga, walking or stretching support flexibility in body and mind. Any form of movement that feels good in your body will allow you to expand your potential in this expansive season.
💫 Connect to creativity - now is the time to be inspired and get carried away with plans. The Liver organ governs big dreams and stepping into a new phase of life.
🌱 Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine - support your energy levels, clear stagnation and nurture clarity and motivation.

If you need support transitioning into this time of growth our degree-qualified practitioners are here to support you through every season. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we understand the rhythm of a healthy menstrual cycle - how long it should be, when ovulation ideally occurs and how the flow should feel: smooth, effortless and without pain.

But for many menstruating people, that’s not the reality. Instead of ease, there’s pain. Instead of flow, there’s disruption. And period pain doesn’t just affect your body - it can shape how you move through your days, how you feel within yourself and how connected you are to your cycle.

From a Chinese medicine perspective period pain can have many root causes:
💥 Liver Qi Stagnation - often triggered by stress or emotional tension, causing
❄️ Cold in the Uterus - sharp, stabbing pain relieved by warmth, commonly linked to cold weather, icy drinks or underdressing.
🩸 Blood Stasis - intense, fixed pain with dark, clotted menstrual blood.
🥀 Qi & Blood Deficiency - dull, dragging pain (often post-period) when your body is running on empty.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we’re here to change that. We support people just like you to live with more ease, more flow - and much less pain. When we work with patients we have multiple tools:
✨ Acupuncture tailored to your unique hormonal rhythm.
🌿 Custom herbal medicine prescribed for your body’s unique needs.
🧬 Practitioner-only supplements based on your blood results.
🌀 Nervous system support to help you settle back into your body.
🥦 Gentle lifestyle, diet + movement guidance to support your cycle.

Period pain looks different for everyone and that’s why Chinese medicine shines. We treat you, not just your symptoms. Lets work with your body - not fight it.

If your cycle feels like it’s running your life, we’d love to help you come back to balance 🌀 All of our practitioners are degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered and deeply committed to helping you feel your best. Book your first appointment via the link in our bio or by calling the clinic on 0408 402 512. We can’t wait to help you on your hormone journey 💛

Do these symptoms sound like you?

In Chinese medicine menopause is honoured as a time of transformation - a shift into greater clarity, purpose and strength 🌿 But at South Hobart Acupuncture we know that for many people this transition isn’t always smooth. Often our perimenopause patients are at the peak of their life - juggling career, family and caring responsibilities all at once.

You deserve so much more than to live with irritability, stress, poor sleep, hair loss, brain fog and more. At South Hobart Acupuncture we are passionate about supporting women through this transition - please know that support is available and you don’t have to go through it alone.

In order to get the best results, we work with our patients on treatment plans. At your initial consultation you will receive a written plan of attack to help us move forward, including:

💫 how many sessions to attend and at what frequency,
💫 if herbal medicine will be needed and for how long,
💫 if you will need any practitioner-only supplements,
💫 if we need to do any further investigation or testing, and
💫 any homework or lifestyle changes based on your Chinese medicine diagnosis.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine isn’t a one-and-done treatment and it is important to complete the full course of treatments. Throughout this journey together we will always review progress and make precise adjustments along the way. We love to work with patients who are committing to achieving their goals and will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to help you reach those goals.

At South Hobart Acupuncture, we know first hand just how upsetting problem-skin can feel - whether its just a small patch or if it’s a body-wide issue. Either way - skin issues don’t stand a chance with us on your side. Our practitioners are passionate about helping you heal your skin from the inside-out AND the outside-in.

The wisdom of Chinese Medicine shows us that our internal systems are often reflected on our face and skin. We use this wisdom incorporated with holistic, whole-body care that helps you get to the root of your skin issues so that you can feel at home in your skin.

Some of the areas we use to assist our patients with are:
🌮 Diet - a whole foods diet with adequate protein and fibre will give your body the building blocks it needs to repair and rebuild your skin.
🌞 SPF - everyday, even if it’s cloudy! This will help protect your skin from UVA (aging rays) and UVB (burning rays). Extra points if you wear a hat too.
💆🏽 Daily Facial Gua Sha and Cupping - will help to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
💧Hydration - our bodies are basically plants. We need adequate water to flush our system (important for lymphatics) but also to hydrate our skin.
📍Cosmetic Acupuncture - will help to regulate hormones and gut, as well as specifically targeting the skin condition you would like assistance with.
🪻Microbiome Friendly Skincare - in order to help heal your skin from the outside-in, it’s important to support your skin microbiome to calm redness, itching and flaking.
🌀 Stress Relief - increased cortisol disregulates both our hormones and our blood sugar. This can cause an increase in thick, sticky sebum that blocks pores. 10-15 minutes of stress relief daily can support this.

Our practitioners are degree-qualified and registered with AHPRA, meaning you are receiving professional guidance from practitioners that are focused on you and your skin goals. We can’t wait to meet you and support you on your clear skin journey. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512 during business hours.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we love to help you reach your health goals. Our aim is to have you feeling at home in your skin as soon as possible. In order to get the best results, here are some things you should know about working with us.

🍁 What should I expect in my first treatment? This initial session is a deep dive into you and what you are hoping to achieve. Your practitioner will write you a detailed treatment plan and outline what steps you need to take to reach your health goals before you receive a blissful treatment and your acupuncture journey begins.
🌀 How many treatments will I need? This depends on your condition and how severe it is. Acupuncture isn’t a one-and-done therapy - most likely you will need a course of treatments to reach your health goals.
💫 How often should you come for acupuncture? This depends on the severity of your condition. Most people will need weekly treatments for the first few weeks of treatment before we space you out. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment here so your practitioner will let you know in your first appointment how many treatments they expect you to need.
🌻 What conditions does acupuncture support? Lots! Chinese medicine is whole-body medicine and works best as preventative care. We can support you with your hormones, fertility, sleep, digestion, pain, skin and much, much more.
💥 Does it hurt? Not at all. Most people feel a dull or buzzing sensation but most fall asleep during their treatment and feel deeply relaxed afterwards.
🌿 What should I wear? Loose comfortable clothing is best. Your practitioner may ask to see your tummy or your arms and legs for treatment. Don’t worry about needing lots of layers - we will make sure that you are warm and comfortable all the way through your treatment.

Our team of degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners are here to guide you through your health journey, no matter where you’re starting from 💛 Call us on 0408 402 512 during business hours or book online using the link in our bio. We can’t wait to support you.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we understand just how deeply eczema can affect your life. It’s more than just skin deep - the discomfort, the flare-ups, the relentless itch. We understand and we’re here to support you with care that goes beyond the surface.

From a Chinese medicine perspective, eczema is not just a skin condition, its a reflection of internal imbalances. It can often come from:
🌀 Qi Deficiency - especially of the digestive organs (think Spleen and Stomach) which leads to poor nourishment of the skin and immune dysregulation. This can look like dryness or cracking skin and allergies.
🌀 Blood Deficiency - a lack of nourishing fluids reduces the skin’s moisture and resilience, often showing up as itching, redness or flaking.
🌀 Dampness + Heat - creating weeping, inflamed or crusting patches.
🌀 External Pathogens - like allergens or environmental irritants which act with the weakened immune system to create allergic reactions

At South Hobart Acupuncture we support eczema holistically. We take a gentle, inside-out and outside-in approach that takes your whole self into consideration. We support eczema holistically with:
🌿 Acupuncture - to regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation and promote skin healing from the inside-out.
🌿 Chinese herbal medicine - individually prescribed to nourish and promote skin healing from within.
🌿 Integrative testing - to identify deeper contributors like gut health, histamine overload etc.
🌿 Evidence-informed skincare - to help repair your barrier from the outside-in.
🌿 Lifestyle and nutrition support - to reduce triggers and strengthen long-term resilience.

Our degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners believe in treating the whole person - not just the skin. We would be honoured to support you on your journey to clearer, calmer skin 💛 Book via the link in our bio or call us on 0408 402 512. We can’t wait to welcome you.

At South Hobart Acupuncture, one of the more common reasons patients come to see us is their mood. More specifically, stress. Stress has a funny way of creeping up on someone - starting as something small and then slowly snow-balling until it seems like an insurmountable issue.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you.

At South Hobart Acupuncture we love holistic care. We treat all our patients with the wisdom of Chinese medicine (acupuncture and herbal medicine) but we thrive on adding in lifestyle advice. Little tweaks to diet, habits and routine can make all the difference in managing your stress levels.

Some of the things we love to suggest include:
💫 Connect with loved ones and nature - community and nature help us access our true selves and provide a welcome rest from the hustle + bustle of modern life.
💫 30 minutes of unfiltered sunlight on your face on waking - to help regulate your sleep/wake cycles
💫 Sleep hygiene - wind down before bed without screens to help your body know it’s time for bed and to ease you into sleep.
💫 Regular mindful breathing - to help turn down our ‘flight/flight/freeze’ response and turn up our ‘rest + digest’ response. We often suggest square breathing, lengthened exhale breathing or 4/7/8 breathing.

Save this post for the next time you’re feeling stressed, and let us know how you find these suggestions.

Our practitioners are degree-qualified and registered with AHPRA, meaning you are receiving professional guidance from practitioners that are focused on you and your health goals. We can’t wait to meet you. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512 during business hours. Let’s find your flow 🌀

At South Hobart Acupuncture we have a whole toolkit to support your health - but if we had to choose a favourite, it’s hands down our beautiful herbal medicine.

Why? because herbal formulas allow us to deeply support and rebuild the foundations of your health - Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang - in a way that acupuncture alone can’t always reach.

Here’s why we love herbs (and why our patients do too):
🌿 They work hard in-between treatments, keeping your healing moving forward.
🌿 They build with consistency - taken daily, they have powerful cumulative effects.
🌿 They’re tailored just for you - from our extensive dispensary of high-grade, raw powdered herbs.
🌿 And no, they don’t taste amazing (think earthy), but they do help you feel better fast - so you won’t mind for long.

We use herbal medicine to support our treatments for musculoskeletal pain, fertility, perimenopause and menstrual health, sleep support, gut healing and much, much more.

Every acupuncture appointment includes a herbal consult - or you can just come in for herbs alone. Our degree-qualified, AHPRA registered practitioners are here to guide you with skill, care and compassion.

Ready to take the next step on your health journey? Call us on 0408 402 512 during business hours or book online using the link in our bio 💛 We can’t wait to support you.
