Just returned from an incredible workshop focused on supporting optimal fetal positioning and easier birth. The presenter, Fiona, held the group (mostly midwives, along with a few bodyworkers like myself) in rapt attention—her knowledge was truly inspiring.

The workshop deepened my understanding of how a baby’s position can influence labour and birth, and offered practical, body-based tools to encourage smoother progress. Many of these practices were familiar to me, from my years teaching the Alexander Technique, and it was affirming to see how well mindful movement and postural awareness aligns with fetal position and facilitating smooth labour.

I’m excited to integrate what I learned into my work—especially practices that help prepare the body for birth and support mothers during pregnancy. Gentle, intentional movement really can make a world of difference. 🌸

A beautiful reaction to needling the upper Bladder Shu points (BL13 Fei Shu, BL15 Xin Shu, BL17 Ge Shu, BL18 Gan Shu) — a warm flush of Qi moving to the surface.
These back-Shu points are powerful gateways to nourish and regulate the organs of the upper jiao: lungs, heart, diaphragm, and liver.
When the body responds like this, it’s a sign of openness, circulation, and a readiness to heal.

Gentle strength in a cup.
This modified Chai Hu Shu Gan San was prepared for a client experiencing cyclical breast distension—an expression of Liver Qi constraint moving against the chest. By soothing the Liver, moving Qi, and softening hardness, this classic formula brings both physical and emotional relief.

Chinese medicine sees patterns, not just symptoms. Each blend is tailored, each dose intentional.

Clear Toxicity-Tea

Just made up this beautiful tea for a client who has a boil that is slow-to-heal. Despite taking antibiotics it’s still hot, swollen and painful. Herbs in this tea aim to resolve toxicity, clear heat, reduce inflammation and move qi. Tastes like a mix of green and peppermint teas.

Lady Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See is based on historical records translated by Lorraine Wilcox in Miscellaneous Records of a Female Doctor. This translation offers insight into the life and work of Tan Yunxian, a female doctor in Ming Dynasty China, and serves as an inspiration for See’s fictionalized version of her life.
