Meet our little boy, Charlie 🩵

Born on the 25th August, arriving at 41 weeks, weighing 3.8kg (8p7o) & 54.5cm long. Labor was an amazing experience, with my waters breaking and contractions starting at 9.40pm on the Sunday night, coming consistently every 10min for the first hour, then every 5 minutes for the next few hours, we headed into the hospital at 1am on the Monday morning and by about 2.30am I was at 4cm dilated & thin (this was the only cervix check I had!) and with the help of the shower and my amazing fiancé & midwife, our little Charlie was born at 6.55am. My partner Domenic got to deliver Charlie and handed him up to my chest where we had amazing skin to skin contact and first breastfeed while the placenta made its way out. I did have to have a few stitches (which would have to have been my least favourite part of the whole birth and recovery), but otherwise everything has been great and we only have positive things to say about the whole thing. Our stay at the hospital was also lovely, we came home after 2 nights. It has been nearly 3 weeks now and we are all doing well, adjusting to it all but still in such awe of everything and him! Truly special 🥹🥰

I credit the experience to the lovely midwife we had, but also all the things I did throughout the pregnancy… movement and positioning being the biggest I believe, helping prep my body and bubs as best as possible. The whole labor I couldn’t be still, on the floor leaning over the birth ball constantly moving intuitively (also used the gas in that stage from 2am-5ish, and an amazing playlist). 🙏

I could talk for days about it all ❤️

Hey guys, times flying… there’s only one more month before I head off on Maternity Leave! 🤯

If you’re after an appointment (return patients only) please get in touch or find a time online. If you’ll be after more herbal medicine or supplements please let me know so I can make sure I have stock and can put some aside for you 🥰

P.s. these pics are from after our baby shower last weekend, it was so lovely 🥹🤰🏼🩵

Hey guys, just a (big) life update…

We have a little baby on the way! 🥹🧸🩵

Our little Bub is set to arrive in August, and I will be finishing up in the clinic at the end of June.

At this stage, I will be returning at the start of 2026, but no set dates in place, going to be settling in to motherhood first 🥰🫶

On returning after maternity leave I will be at a different location too, which is more exciting news but more on that soon 👀😍

If you’re a current patient we will be talking about ongoing support during this time if we haven’t already 🌱

Hi all! With December just around the corner (😅😳), just popping on to let you know that I’ll be taking a break from Saturday the 21st December and back in clinic on the 9th of January (BWW’s birthday!).

🗓️ My bookings for December are pretty much booked, so if you’d like to be added to a cancellation list please reach out. If you’re wanting to begin your Chinese medicine treatment journey, you’d be best to book for January before that books up too.

🌿 If you are going to need more supplements or herbal medicine during this time please keep this in mind and let me know prior to the 21st Dec.

🥰 Once again, thank you for all of your support this year. I appreciate your trust in my care and truly hope you are benefiting from it.

Have a lovely holiday season 🎄

Take care!
Alex

Preconception care = 🙌🙏 There is so much you can do to improve your chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy.

Everyone is different but these are a few general things everyone can work on:

🌱 improve diet - focus on whole foods, enough protein and healthy fats, wide variety and colour, regular meals, balanced and less processed.
☕️ limit coffee to max one a day, and avoid alcohol too.
🧘‍♀️ exercise in moderation - depends on the individual but typically 3-4x week strength based/yoga and regular walks should suffice, reduce the excessive HIIT classes.
🙅‍♀️ opt for low tox products - natural make up and skincare. Also reducing plastics and other chemicals, fragrances etc
☀️ improve your vitamin D levels.
🩸get bloods done to check where everything is at.
🌸 address any underlying health conditions- especially those such as PCOS, low iron, endo, thyroid issues, menstrual cycle irregularities.
💦 drink more water
🫡 get s***m checked and review it for optimal ranges and make changes as necessary (see my other posts about s***m)
😌 reduce stress where possible and bring more joy into your life 🫶
👌 acupuncture! Works on improving blood flow, hormones, stress levels & sleep etc. We will also likely do herbal medicine depending on what you need.
💊 supplementation appropriate to your needs. See a health professional for guidance on this one. At the very least on a good quality preconception multi with methylated folate.

If this is something you want support with please reach out or book online at a time that suits. There is so much you can do to optimise your fertility ✨

I hope this helps,
Alex 🌱

The symmetry here was so satisfying 😍 these points were all part of a treatment to help ease sinus congestion/pressure, release TMJ tension and calm the mind 👌 there were also points in the arms & legs to help the underlying pattern, along with a nice head/neck massage & Gua Sha. Perfect combo 🥰 (oh and some herbal medicine at home too 🌱)

Q. Can you get acupuncture while pregnant? 🤰🏼

A. Yep 🥰
I work with women through all stages of pregnancy, from preconception to post partum support 💖 for support through the anxiety in the early stages, morning sickness throughout the first trimester, low iron/blood deficiency throughout, sleep & nervous system love, sciatica/pain through the final months, and labor preparation during the home stretch, along with anything else that pops up along the way 🌱

I also see women for post partum support for things like helping scar healing, issues with lactation, emotional support and replenishing blood & qi (nourishing mum too… we are big on nourishment in TCM, especially post partum!)

Due to the beautiful growing belly, treatments are modified (side lying and supported) and more gentle.

Reach out if you are looking for support or send me a message to see if I can help you 💖🌱

Press tacks ✨✨

These are little tiny needles (you can barely see them!) with a sticky over the top. We place them on certain acupuncture points so you can take some of the treatment home with you. These don’t go as deep as those you get during an acupuncture treatment, but they provide a gentle continuous stimulation of the point. They can be removed after 1-3 days.

These ones are mainly for calming the mind 😌🧘‍♀️ which can be used to help with stress, anxiety, sleep and some pain conditions. The one further from the wrist is a common one used for nausea too ✨ other points I love to use these are on the hand, elbow crease and ear ☺️

It’s common for people to hold their stress & emotional tension in their jaw, shoulders, and upper back. In TCM this pattern relates to a ‘stagnation of liver qi’… this can be related to a lack of smooth flowing communication between the body systems and the nervous system feeling stuck in a stressed state. This pattern is associated with headaches (particularly tension type, temporal and radiating from the traps), poor digestion (alternating constipation/diarrhoea, bloating), low energy when stressed, bad PMS & moodiness, period cramps, cycle irregularities, and disturbed sleep (waking at around 1-3am). Stress & unregulated emotions are a huge causative factor in the ‘stagnation of liver qi’.

How do I address this in clinic?
✨ acupuncture points on the body to address the underlying causes
✨ facial massage & Gua Sha to relax the face muscles
✨ acupuncture locally on the face to release tension in the jaw 😬👉😌
✨ cupping for the back & shoulders 😍🤤
✨ herbal medicine to address the underlying cause 🌿
✨ often a good quality magnesium supplement is recommended
✨ lifestyle advice to help people chill out 😎🧘‍♀️☕️ (e.g. mindfulness practices throughout the day, deep breathing/sighing, reducing coffee, regular exercise, journaling to help regulate emotions such as anxiety, frustration & resentment, good food at regular intervals, etc)

Hope this helps or you find it useful! 🤗

Absolutely loved this seminar with 👌 so many great new techniques to use in the clinic 😍

If you weren’t aware, cosmetic/facial acupuncture is a fab way to improve skin concerns ✨naturally✨ while supporting the internal body too. The skin is ultimately a reflection of what is going on in the body, and as acupuncture is fundamentally holistic, these facial acupuncture treatments are no different. E.g. for fine lines we’d be looking at hydration & improving circulation to the face, while also addressing any underlying blood/yin/qi deficiencies. We can apply this to help with wrinkles, sagging areas, pigmentation & complexion concerns, scarring, loss of ‘plumpness’ and tension in the face. I can share more on this in another post if you guys are keen to learn what it can help with?

If you’re wanting support with skin concerns don’t hesitate to reach out or make a booking if it feels right for you 🥰

P.s I felt a bit starstruck meeting Vivian and Insta practitioners 😂 oh and it was so lovely talking with other TCM practitioners 🥹🫶

If you have tried acupuncture you would know how deeply relaxing it is, and there is so much more going on inside your body too. Needling certain points on the body stimulates the nervous system to relax, balancing the parasympathetic (rest + digest) and sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous systems. In this relaxed state the body functions better, heals & repairs, and you’re more in touch with its signals.

If you’re struggling with stress or its consequences (e.g. bad PMS, headaches/neck tension, digestive issues, period irregularities, sleep problems, mood changes, fatigue or inability to slow down) please don’t hesitate to reach out for support. Acupuncture could just be the catalyst to help you reset and feel more like yourself again. ❤️

Wishing you all a lovely day,
Alex 🌱
