We are so thrilled to welcome Sophie to the team.

Her gentle presence in the clinic this week has been an absolute gift.

Discovering acupuncture through her own health journey, Sophie was drawn to study Chinese Medicine through a deep belief that healing doesn’t require perfection or a starting point, only that you are worthy of care exactly as you are.

Sophie makes it a priority to dig deep and support women and menstruating people along their path. She is a powerful advocate for understanding the how, why and what someone needs to not only live comfortably in their body but to thrive.

Sophie is a degree-qualified and AHPRA-registered practitioner, holding a double degree in **. She has further training in fertility and women’s health, strengthening her interest in cycle health, fertility, pregnancy and supporting menstrual health through all phases of life.

We know that you will absolutely love meeting her 💛

Sophie is available for treatments in our Lenah Valley clinic on Thursdays (1pm-7pm), Fridays (7am-1pm) and Saturdays (8am-2pm).

You can make an appointment with Sophie by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512 or booking online through the link in our bio.

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. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512 during business hours. We can't wait to meet you 💛

Endometriosis isn't just 'period pain'. It's a whole-body inflammatory condition that can affect your cycle, your fertility, your sleep, your digestion, your nervous system - and it can take over your life. If symptoms flare up, it's not just bad luck. Your nervous system load, hormonal balance and gut health can all play a role.

The good news? These are areas we can gently and holistically support so that you can live life with ease.

In Chinese medicine there is no one-size-fits-all endometriosis treatment. At South Hobart Acupuncture we take a whole-body approach to endometriosis care. Every endo-warrior that walks through our doors is assessed for their particular Chinese medicine diagnosis and given a treatment plan that helps to support them and their body to reach their health goals.

Some of the areas we work with include
✨ Calming inflammation,
✨ Supporting healthy iron levels,
✨ Improving pelvic blood flow,
✨ Regulating hormones and stress responses.

You don't have to push through or figure this out alone. If you're ready to step into a cycle that's more regulated, easeful and calm, our degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners are here to guide you through a compassionate approach to endo support. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by calling 0408 402 512. We can't wait to support you 💛

At South Hobart Acupuncture we love nothing more than to support your pregnancy from preconception, into the fourth trimester and beyond.

Did you know that in many cultures, the idea of the Golden Month is very common. This is a special time (literally, golden) where a new birth parent takes a month to lie in. This essentially means that they recuperate at home with only their own sleep and baby's feeds to worry about. The rest of the family is charged with looking after them. This allows for a full recovery after growing and birthing a brand new human.

Read through and save these tips to help support your fourth trimester. Our practitioners are degree-qualified, registered with AHPRA, and ready to guide you through your own golden month. 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 making your healing as practical as possible. We love to add tiny tweaks to your routine to help you feel more at home in your body as easily as possible. Here are 5 ingredients you can add to your tea pot (or porridge) to smooth the perimenopausal transition. All can be found easily at your local Asian grocer. Pass this list on to someone who needs it!

🍃 Goji Berries (Gou Qi Zi) - help to nourish Yin - perfect for heat, sweating, restlessness and dry mouth. Add to tea, soups or add a small handful to museli or porridge. Pair with Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua) for dry eyes.
🌼 Dried Tangerine Peel (Chen Pi) - helps to move Qi, good for irritation, anxiety and PMS. Steep in hot water or add to congee or soups or chop up into salads. Pair with Mint (Bo He) to sooth irritable moods.
🪷 Red Dates (Da Zao) - helps with insomnia, both trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep. Boil into tea or add to porridges or soups. Pair with Longan fruit (Long Yan Rou) for deeper calm.
