Awwww! Thanks!

Every vote tells a story. The Attic was recognised as a truly special space where people leave feeling lighter, calmer, and restored - a quiet haven in the heart of busy Sydney Road.

The community has spoken, and it’s clear how much love there is for our Sydney Road Brunswick precinct businesses. Thank you to everyone who voted for their favourite business for the 2025 Business Awards, and shared their stories!

The Traditional Chinese Medicine clock has specific times related to specific energetic organ systems. Over time we have now discovered scientific evidence as to why a lot of this makes sense. At this stage I just trust it! Sleeping well contributes to having enough energy and mental calm to function well. Whilst disrupted by babies and children, insomnia and nightshifts or doomscrolling imbalances can happen. If you need help rebalancing everything to get sleep back on your priority list I have lots of ways to help. Good quality rest is as imp as good quality food to nourish you!

Traditional east Asian Medicine has some great ideas for helping to maintain health and well being through daily practices. Sometimes even down to the right times for some activities. I am not sure what the ancients would say about daylight saving, but I digress.
Simple additions to your day like eating a bit more at breakfast, a ritual for finishing work like walk in the park or closing the office door can help your mind and body in small ways that add up.
Traditional East Asian medicine isn't just needles and herbal potions, it is practical day to day habits and lifestyle changes to benefit mind and body.

Sometimes my client asks me if their kids/husband/parents or friends can come in to see me. The answer is YES!
I have some areas where my knowledge is deeper but as an acupuncturist and a counsellor we train to see a wide range of clients.
I am qualified and registered with AACMA, AHPRA and PACFA. This means you can get health fund rebates too!

It can be a bit nerve wracking coming in for your first session. I promise it is easy!
Comfy loose clothes, eat and drink, fill out your forms and then just text me when you arrive so I can come to the door and meet you!
See! It is that easy!

I realize that both acupuncture and therapy can be difficult to do for the first time. Generally my feedback is that the possible benefits are what gets you through the door. But that the actual benefits are what keeps you coming back. It is much more painless than you think it is going to be. I promise.

Poly vagal states and how it is used in therapy can seem a bit confusing. But I think this breaks it down well. This is one of the most powerful tools in my toolbox. Understanding where you are in these states can be helpful in identifying where we need to start or environments that feel unsafe. We can work together to identify and work with these states in therapy and in life. Book via link in bio

Feeling so lucky to have share a piece for the clinic. I had one of these circular pieces in mind from when I first moved into this fantastic space. They bring me calm and joy. I could look at this one for hours!
