t’s Endometriosis Awareness Month this month. In my 23 years in clinic I have worked with many women with endometriosis.

“Endometriosis affects around one in nine Australian women, and pain is one of the most common and challenging symptoms. Recent research is adding to the evidence showing acupuncture may help support the management of endometriosis related pain.
For some women, this offers a non hormonal option that can sit alongside medical care as part of a broader treatment plan.

As we recognise Endometriosis Awareness Month, access to safe, evidence based care options matters.” AACMA

“Women are ten times more difficult to treat than a man.” Why?

Sun Simiao wrote this in a classic Chinese medicine text book referring to the changing rythym of women’s hormones throughout the phases of the menstrual cycle, and different stages of life from menarche to menopause.

As a women’s health practitioner of 23 years I can testify to the complexities of every patient that I work with in clinic, but treatment does not need to be difficult and outcomes can be game changing.

Whether it is cycle related, trying to conceive, pregnancy related, peri menopause, or menopause, there is a Chinese Medicine treatment plan that can be developed for you.

So happy to be in my 23rd year of clinical practice and still loving every day. The clinic reopened last week and was super busy for January. It's only the 12th and already I have treated many patients, read a big thick acupuncture book, booked onto two intensive upskilling courses, and am halfway through my first aid refresher. Hope your 2026 is feeling just as good!

That's a wrap for Upwey Acupuncture for 2025. From my family to yours wishing you a relaxing, beautiful and harmonious holiday period.

Thank you to all patients, teachers, colleagues, family and friends who have supported my clinic and helped me to deepen my work this year.

Taking a little social media break as well as a clinic break now - see you after 5th January 2026.

One of my patients said this week “As I walk up to your clinic I just feel so relaxed already - I look forward to coming for my treatments here”.

The location, surrounding nature and views at Upwey Acupuncture just add to the treatment experience.

Every session starts with a conversation at Upwey Acupuncture. Sometimes there is laughter - sometimes there are tears. Generally everyone leaves with a smile on their face :)

I want my patients to feel properly heard and able to discuss all of their health concerns, so your initial treatment may involve a long chat, and follow up treatments a check in or pivot chat depending on how your issues are resolving or transforming.

Evening appointments are available at Upwey Acupuncture on a Monday, Wednesday & Thursday. These sessions are extremely popular, so if you want to book a cozy evening relax on the couch please book well in advance.

You have my full attention during your sessions at Upwey Acupuncture. I always allow enough time in my sessions to fully listen to patients and discuss any issues or health concerns. I aim to ensure that you will never feel rushed or dismissed during a session.

When you relax on my couch I am not running off to treat other patients - I am still thinking about you and working on your case. When the needles come out there is usually time for massage, moxa, cupping, or whatever will enhance your treatment.

The way that I work has evolved over my 22 years of clinical practice and I always work with each patients best interests as my absolute priority. 💕

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful festive season, and a very happy 2025.

Chuffed to have been included in the Spring Coles Health & Beauty Magazine. It’s just a little snippet about acupuncture & acupressure but every little mention helps to spread the word of this wonderful medicine 💕
