Traditional East Asian Medicine is all about the daily health and wellbeing. It moves with the season and this flow and ease of being in the natural order. The Dao.
Checking in when you are well is how we maintain the healthy habits that add up! I have some new ways for you to connect with the flow of the seasons and find your Dao. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

Soooo Chinese Medicine Drs love to hate on your iced matcha. But it is a fantastic replacement for coffee with a slower and gentler caffeine fix. You can absolutely have hot matcha (though chai is better…) in the winter months. Or a cool (but not iced) matcha on plant milk as a treat in summer. Because sometimes we all need a little treat or a pick me up!

In the journey west, when the Monkey King gained immortality it was from stealing fruit from the peach tree of the immortals.
I have some exciting news for you to have your own peaches. No stealing from the immortals required!
Stay posted!

My weekend rituals for rest and recovery are not expensive or involved. It is about what nourishes me! Fur and human family, art, journaling, meditation, music, reading, gardening and crafts all fill up my cup. What fills up yours?

Happy International Ninja day. It may have been started as a promo for a burger company but I love to celebrate martial arts of all kinds!
Did you know that martial arts are part of our wholistic approach to health in Traditional East Asian Medicine?
I have been involved in martial arts since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I have trained with teachers from around the world in different arts and have been so very privileged to have these kinds of opportunities. This was also my introduction to meditation and healing arts!
Shiatsu on the Aikido mat after class was common. Meditation was an essential part of the practice. When I learnt Tai Chi and Qi Gong alongside my Chinese Medicine studies it gave me valuable tools to help clients. Though I wasn't such a huge fan of the 6am start in New Farm Park for Tai Chi!
I love martial arts and am so grateful that it sent me down the path of Traditional East Asian Medicine.
So happy International Ninja day!

Hydration doesn’t require $60 electrolyte powders. But it may require a little more attention than you think.
Great hydration in Chinese Medicine can help overall wellbeing.
Having warm or room temperature drinks like herbal teas and soups are a fantastic way to incorporate this idea into your day to day!

Be careful what you feed yourself.

Traditional East Asian Medicine is all about waking up rested and ready. But HOW!!!
Ultimately like any of my recommendations when these are tailored to you personally they work best.
My favorite way to wake up rested is working with the Chinese Medicine clock. When we work with your strengths and weaknesses we can tailor a plan for your day that works with you rather than against you.
If you want to work on a day plan book in for an acupuncture session!
