We promise, you’re not losing your s**t. Even though peri and menopause may make you feel like you are.

Mood swings that don’t make sense.
Snapping over small things.
Feeling detached, not yourself, or even “unhinged".

It’s not unlike puberty, when you’re right in the middle of it, unsure why you’re lashing out, and knowing deep down this isn’t the “real you.”

The tricky part?
Perimenopause often arrives long before we expect it.

Most of us were only ever told about menopause in our 50s, yet the transition can begin much earlier.
And when the first signs sneak in quietly, it can feel like you know something is shifting but don’t know where to start looking.

That’s okay.
This is where Vicky, and all of our practitioners, step in.

Chinese medicine offers another lens, one that connects the dots, asks different questions, and treats the experience you’re actually living through.

And if you don’t know where to start, that’s okay too.
We know exactly where to begin, which questions to ask, and how to map a way forward no matter what your symptoms look like.

✨ At MCM, practitioners like Vicky support women through this transition with care that goes beyond test results.

All of our practitioners are AHPRA-registered Chinese medicine practitioners. We work with, and alongside, your healthcare team to help you explore what’s really happening and support you through this stage of life.

Sometimes the first step is just knowing you’re not alone in this.

The colds that never seem to clear.
The nights that are always broken.
The overwhelm that spills into family life.
The social struggles that leave little loves feeling left out.
These are often the very first things parents tell us about.

What starts as one concern often opens the door to a much bigger picture. Once we sit down together, parents often realise these aren’t isolated issues, they connect with sleep, digestion, immunity, emotions, even the way a child experiences the world.

This is where Shonishin fits in.
It’s a gentle, needle-free style of Japanese acupuncture that gives us a child-friendly way to explore and support what’s happening underneath those first signs.

At MCM, our AHPRA-registered practitioners trained in Shonishin offer families another layer of understanding, while working alongside your GP and other providers.

So while the first step might be constant colds or restless nights, it often becomes about so much more, a clearer picture of your child’s health, and a way forward that feels less overwhelming.

✨ If you’ve been noticing these signs in your little one, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’d love to chat about how we can support your family.

A very big Happy Birthday to our Trav! 🎉💛

If you’ve seen Trav in clinic, you’ll know exactly why he’s so loved. He has this rare mix of wisdom, clinical knowledge, and that down-to-earth dad advice that always seems to come at just the right moment. He’s steady, grounded, full of compassion and his presence makes everyone feel at ease.

For so many families, Trav is the safe pair of hands, the calming voice, the one who makes kids feel seen and parents feel understood. Watching him connect with children and earn the trust of our community is something truly special.

Trav, we are so grateful for you! For your presence, your care, your humour, and the way you make this clinic feel more like home.

✨ Please join us in wishing him the happiest of birthdays in the comments below.
Let’s shower him with love today he deserves every bit of it.

When the house is finally still, and yet your mind is racing.
When the baby sleeps on your chest, and your body aches in ways you didn’t expect.
When the birth (whether it went to plan or not) lingers quietly in both body and heart.

So many women share this story with us in the early weeks.

Sleep feels impossible.
Milk supply and feeding feel like constant question marks.
And even when it’s not your first baby, the experience can feel completely different and sometimes, paralysing.

What often gets overlooked is just how much this takes out of you.
The overstimulation of having a little one who needs you body and soul, day and night.
Balancing a newborn’s needs with another little love at home.
Carrying the guilt of wanting space, when what you really need is care.

This is why we do what we do.
At MCM, we pour resources back into the mother.

Because when you have energy, nourishment, and time to be cared for yourself, recovery begins, and this is where the magic happens.

✨ All practitioners at MCM are AHPRA-registered Chinese medicine practitioners. Beyond supporting fertility and pregnancy, we’re here for mothers in the tender postpartum season too.

🎉✨ Happy Birthday to our powerhouse Clinic Manager, Laura! ✨🎉

If you’ve ever walked through the doors of MCM and felt instantly at home, chances are you’ve felt Laura’s magic. Fierce, loyal, and endlessly fun, she’s the heartbeat of our clinic and the one who makes sure both our patients and our team feel supported every single day.

Laura, we couldn’t imagine MCM without your strength, laughter, and care. Thank you for always holding us all together with equal parts backbone and heart.

Join us in showering her with birthday love in the comments below! ❤️🥂

Acupuncture isn’t always the first thing people think of when it comes to fertility.

But for two decades, it’s been at the centre of what we do.

Our founder, .fertility created The Fertile Life Method right here at Mornington Chinese Medicine. A system designed to leave no stone unturned in understanding fertility health.

It’s an approach that’s become the backbone of our clinic (and others too!), training every practitioner who works with us and guiding thousands of patients through initial women health concerns, fertility, IVF, pregnancy, and beyond.

So if you’ve been wondering whether there’s another way forward and one that brings together clarity, support, and care that sees the whole picture... you’ve just found it.

BIG Love, always.

They say it takes a village.
At MCM, that sometimes looks like a child on a lap and a storybook between treatments.
Because when mothers come in, they often need to bring their little ones too.

And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
This photo is of our Clinic Manager, Laura, with one of our patient’s daughters. To us, moments like this aren’t an interruption! They truly are one of the perks of the job. We love the kids, and we love supporting the women who need this space to keep looking after themselves.

When we support women, we support families.
And when families feel safe here, children grow up seeing health care as something normal, welcoming, and part of everyday life.

✨ At MCM, all of our practitioners are AHPRA-registered Chinese medicine practitioners. Beyond fertility and women’s health, we care for children, families, and the generations that follow. If this is the kind of space you’ve been looking for, we’re here.

Morphology is the marker that often gets missed.

A general semen analysis reports three big things: how many (count), how they move (motility), and how they’re shaped (morphology).

Sometimes the count looks fine while morphology is 0%.

That means none had the typical shape reported on the day.
It can feel like a dead end.
It isn’t.

Whether you’re just starting to investigate or you’ve been trying for a while, there is more to look at and more to understand than the number alone.

✨At MCM, with 20 years in fertility care, our practitioners support male fertility by reviewing results with you, considering the wider picture, and helping you map sensible next steps.

We’ve supported many women through postpartum.
And here’s what rarely gets talked about.

Postpartum isn’t only about your body healing.
It’s about hormones recalibrating, sleep deprivation reshaping your nervous system, and the quiet identity shifts that ripple through every relationship.

This is where so many new mothers can feel unseen.
Because once the baby arrives, the focus often shifts outward.
Yet your health, your emotions, your needs still matter deeply.

In clinic, our care in the postpartum season may include:
• Supporting hormonal balance
• Rebuilding energy and blood after birth
• Calming the nervous system
• Providing space to pause and recalibrate

✨ At MCM, we believe postpartum isn’t an afterthought. It’s a time when the right support can make a real difference, and we’re here if you’d like to explore what that could look like for you.

Becoming a parent is like having your heart walk around outside your body.
Exposed. Vulnerable.
And if anything happens to your child, the weight of that loss is almost impossible to put into words.

We celebrate so many beginnings. Our walls are covered in photos of new life, stories of hope fulfilled. But not every story ends that way. Some end in silence. Some families carry grief every day, even when it may not be visible.

Today is Red Nose Day ❤️
A day to remember the babies and children taken too soon, and to honour the families who carry them always.

This is Emily, holding her daughter Goldie in front of our sunflower mural, a space we created in tribute to all the little ones lost too soon. Emily also carries her daughter Elsie, who is not in this photo, but who is held in every step her family takes.

In Elsie’s memory, Emily and her family are walking to raise funds for Red Nose Day. And today, every dollar donated will be matched by the Foundation.

If you can, please donate:
👉 https://www.rednoseday.org.au/fundraisers/emilygreenhill
(Link also in our Bio)

And if you can’t, simply pausing to remember, to acknowledge, and to hold space matters deeply. 🌻

Not because she never fell apart.
But because she did.
And she found the courage to gather every scattered piece,
to carry the weight of what she’s lived through,
and to choose (again and again) to rise.

So often in women’s health, symptoms are dismissed if they don’t add up neatly to “disease.”
You’re told it’s just stress.
That it’s in your head.
That it will pass.
But strength is found in refusing to silence yourself.

In trusting your intuition when something doesn’t feel right.
In continuing to seek care, clarity, and compassion.

Strength isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it looks like persistence.
Sometimes it feels like softness.
Sometimes it’s simply the choice to try again.

If you’ve rebuilt yourself, quietly, slowly, or fiercely, you have earnt this strength, and it is yours.

✨ At Mornington Chinese Medicine, we see these stories every day.
And we honour the women who keep showing up for themselves, simply by listening and putting our trust in their intuition.

IVF isn’t one single moment.
It’s many stages, each with its own needs, both physically and emotionally.

That’s why when women and couples come to MCM during an IVF cycle, our approach shifts depending on where they are in the process:
✨ During stimulation, we focus on easing the effects of hormone changes, reducing bloating, and preparing the body for egg collection.
✨ At transfer, our attention turns to calm, balance, and encouraging blood flow to the uterus.
✨ In the two-week wait, treatments often centre on settling the nervous system, easing anxiety, and providing a sense of being held.
✨ And after a result (whether it’s recovery or moving into pregnancy) support is tailored to meet you exactly where you are.

Kerry has been part of our team for 11 years and has walked alongside hundreds of women and couples on this journey. What she often reflects is this: no two IVF cycles are ever the same. But the need for care, clarity, and gentleness is always there.

✨ At MCM, our AHPRA-registered Chinese Medicine practitioners have supported women and couples through IVF for 20 years, with Kerry by their side for more than half of that time.
