After months of preparation I have finally finished my presentation for the International Integrative Chinese Medicine Conference IICMC. I can’t wait to attend the rest of the presentations.

I am excited to be presenting at the International Integrative Chinese Medicine Conference. It is great that menopause is receiving attention in the media but often that attention is in a negative light. Join me as I share my personal experience of ‘medical menopause’ as a side effect of cancer treatment and how we can embrace the ‘second spring’ of our lives.

Honouring all Mother’s and those striving to be mother’s today.

To those celebrating, may your day be filled with love, gratitude and joy. To those grieving or feeling a sense of loss, we feel you.

Today I had breakfast in bed and a laugh with my children followed by a bush walk and then I spent the late afternoon visiting my mum. The sunset was glorious and she has an awesome view from where she has been laid to rest.

Happy Easter. I hope you had time to relax, fill your cup and spend time with those you love. I was able to spend time with my daughter reconnecting with my love of horses.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had an opportunity to relax and enjoy their weekend. I enjoyed mine immensely as I spent 3 days on another herbal deep dive into classical formula strategies to support the symptoms associated with conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Flu’s and viruses, Sinusitis, Headaches, Migraines, Insomnia and digestive issues including constipation and diarrhoea. I am fortunate to love what I do after all of these years and I will continue to improve and learn. 🌿

It was a scary Saturday night here in Mt Evelyn with the bushfire burning in the next suburb. Thank goodness the rain started and helped the emergency services to extinguish the fire. It was great to get out for my daily hike and smell the beautiful fragrances of the bush after it was nourished by the rain. 🌿 🌲🌲🌲

It has been a huge and amazing weekend. I flew back from Japan and then attended 2 days of advanced Natural Fertility and IVF Support study with Kirsten Wolfe. I was able to top up my knowledge and delve deeper into complex topics including the causes of recurrent miscarriage, blood clotting disorders, autoimmunity and fertility, recurrent implantation failure, Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, fibroids, s***m health and its impact upon embryo quality, implantation failure and miscarriage. I loved every minute of it.

Time to reflect and take stock of the year.

On Wednesday Sonic and I took some time out to celebrate the year. We both love the outdoors so we started with a bush walk from the clinic, along the Olinda Creek and finished at the Paperbark Cafe to enjoy local service and Australian bush foods and flavours. I was so impressed with my Finger Lime, Lemon Myrtle and Rosemary mineral water that I returned the next day to buy more to enjoy as an alcohol free treat over the break.

It’s been a busy end of year for learning. We have both been improving our classical herbal knowledge with a 3 day seminar last weekend and we followed it up on Saturday with a pulse calibration clinic. We are always improving our knowledge and understanding of our medicine to ensure better outcomes for you, our beloved patients. 🌿

Yesterday was a momentous day. It was the final day of clinical supervision for the year with my Acupuncture students. It was also the final time I will attend the Southern School of Natural therapies iconic Fitzroy campus, a campus I have been attending for 20 years as a student and a lecturer. My lecturing will continue in 2025 at the Torrens University campus in Flinders Street CBD. I am grateful to receive some lovely gifts and cards of appreciation.

🌿 Recently, Sonic and I had the opportunity to reconnect with old friends and former students at ICEAM's Fukushin abdominal diagnosis seminar in Brisbane.

Fukushin, or abdominal diagnosis, adds another layer to our diagnostic toolkit, supporting tongue and pulse findings to reveal a fuller picture of a patient's internal landscape. By palpating specific areas on the abdomen, we gain insight into underlying patterns of imbalance that might not be as clear through pulse and tongue alone. This additional detail helps us tailor even more precise herbal formulas and acupuncture treatments, enhancing patient outcomes and personalizing care.
Learning and growing in community is such a gift! 🌱

I have been supporting my patients at all stages of the menopausal journey.

World Menopause Day is a time to highlight how both Western and Chinese Medicine can support you through all stages of menopause.

Menopause can be broken down into three stages:

Premenopause: Typically in your late 30s to early 40s, marked by irregular periods and early hormonal shifts.

Perimenopause: Often in your 40s and early 50s, this transition phase can bring symptoms like heavy or prolonged periods, vaginal dryness, depression, mood changes, anger, and brain fog.

Postmenopause: Starting in your 50s after periods stop, many women experience hot flashes, joint pain, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping.

Chinese Medicine, on the other hand, views menopause as a natural transition. Acupuncture works to restore balance, relieve stress, and regulate hormones, helping with symptoms like mood swings and brain fog.

The good news?

Over time, menopause symptoms usually decrease naturally. Adding diet and lifestyle changes—such as eating phytoestrogen-rich foods like flaxseeds and soy, eating more proteins, staying active, and practicing mindfulness (yoga, meditation and Qi Gong)—can further support your body during this transition.

Menopause is a natural phase of life, and with the right tools, it can be a smoother journey. 🌿
