Anatomically, some frequently used acupuncture points are located in areas where the skin is more sensitive or there are more nerve endings. While acupuncture is generally a relaxing and mostly painless experience, you may occasionally notice that certain points feel extra sensitive.

From a Chinese medicine perspective, this is not only normal. it is often viewed as a good sign.

This sensation is referred to as “De Qi” (pronounced duh chee), and it describes the feeling that arises when the needle makes contact with the body’s Qi. It can present as tingling, warmth or a gentle pulsing.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this indicates that an energetic blockage or stagnation is being activated and shifted, allowing Qi to resume its natural flow.

So next time you’re on the treatment table, notice if any points feel more sensitive—then tune into how you feel afterward. You might find that those “spicy” spots are the ones that bring the most relief.

It'll aaaalll about the food this Easter Weekend.

I love traditions but I also love having TIIiiME to create beautiful nourishing seasonal meals.

Time to play wirh recipes,
Time to cook the long arts
Time to cook for as long as it takes til it's ready.

Oh what a luxury time is.

Often with our patients we talk about the important simply philosophy that food is genuinely medicine.
And we're usually trying to drop in super easy hints and tips to help you make simple changes.
But when a long weekend comes along?
It's aaalll about TIME to cook and TIME to sit and eat together.

How's that reserve going?

Have you ever noticed that the nature of your period or menopausal symptoms changes depending on what's been going on in your previous month?

Gave a bit more, pushed a bit harder, heck, maybe you ran an actual marathon, renovated the house, pushed hard for a deadline before some long awaited leave... and then noticed a really light on period or your body skpped it all together.

This is an example of depletion
Your body has a finite resource available and when use it up - the body is keeping score..
It needs time to make more.
And in the mean time, you're still pushing through, expecting your body to just dust itself off and make more.

In Chinese Medicine we talk about blood and energy deficiency Alllll the tiiiime.
And we use herbs and acupuncture to work on these kinds of presentations.

If you want to remain at your best, to bounce back with vigor after big energy efforts;
It's time you booked your acupuncture appointment.

[ PULSE DIAGNOSIS ]
Just one of the ways we look at your WHOLE health story.
Regardless of what you're presenting in our clinic for, whatever you're wanting us to treat;

We're going to use a whole range of diagnostic tools to help us understand what is happening inside your body.

And using your pulse helps to tell us a lot about what's going on inside.

By feeling your pulse, we get insight into how well things are moving inside your body and this helps us to determine what's causing your individual concerns.

By using our diagnosis observations of pulse we can form a treatment tailored to you and your condition.

Discover Chinese Medicine for your whole health story.

Conscious conception is exhaustive.
We know, we walk along side you.
Here for the private toilet test celebrations
Here for the I don't want to jinx it celebrations
Here for the not another friends announcement
Here for the period arrival and the test staying in the cupboard
Here for the fear, the loss and the anxiety.
Here through positive and negative tests
Because conscious conception isn't linear and it's a lot harder alone.
Let us walk beside you
