Lately I’ve been reflecting on how much running a business — and life in general — depends on us looking after ourselves first.

Earlier this year I ran a series of Seasonal Self-Care workshops, and from that experience I created something I’m really proud of: a set of Seasonal Self-Care eBooks.

They’re full of simple, practical tips from Chinese medicine to help you feel more balanced and supported. Each one is written for a particular season, but the practices are useful any time of year — whenever you need a little reset.

If you’d like to explore them, you can find the full series here: https://www.orientalwisdom.com.au/shop/

I’d love for you to have these resources to dip into whenever you need some inspiration to take care of yourself — because when we’re well, everything else in life (and business) flows more smoothly.

What’s the best way to transition from winter to spring without a diet?

My YouTube channel is starting to take shape! I’ve just uploaded a new video sharing the Do-In self-massage routine that I use at the end of my Qigong classes. It’s only 4 minutes long — a simple way to release tension, boost circulation, and support your energy flow.

I’d love for you to have a look, give it a try, and let me know what you think in the comments.

You can find it below. (A big heartfelt thank you to Fran Cane for making this happen — I’m so grateful for her encouragement and help in bringing these practices online.)

And while you’re there, take a peek at some of the other videos I’ve started adding.

Many of you know I’m passionate about supporting digestion and gut health. One simple tool I’ve come to love (and use in clinic & home) is The PROPPR stool.

If you ever experience constipation, bloating, or other bowel issues, this little stool can make a big difference. It helps you sit in a more natural position, making things easier and healthier for your body.

We have one in the clinic if you’d like to try it out — most people are surprised at how much of a difference it makes!

If you’d like one for home, you can order through this link https://theproppr.com/?ref=texigjmq and receive a small discount. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to support better digestive health.

What if the aches, stress, or fatigue you’ve been living with aren’t just part of ‘getting older’… but signs your body needs support?

So many of us put up with things like:
• Tiredness that never seems to lift
• Digestive niggles or unsettled sleep
• A stiff neck or tight shoulders that “just won’t go away”
• Stress that leaves you running on empty

You don’t have to keep pushing through. Natural therapies such as Acupuncture, Bowen therapy, Craniosacral therapy, and Remedial massage can gently shift what you thought you had to live with – helping you find balance, ease, and renewed energy.

Our Open Day is fast approaching – Saturday 6 September. It’s the perfect chance to explore these therapies in our award-winning clinic and see what’s possible for your health.

Experience a 30-minute treatment for only $10 (with all proceeds donated to WIRES). It’s a beautiful way to support your own spring wellness while helping care for our wildlife.

BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL – comment below or call the clinic to secure your place with your chosen practitioner.
