In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autumn is governed by the Lung and Large Intestine meridians, making this a season of letting go—both physically and emotionally.

Had a fun business trip to Melbourne this May with some colleague/ friends!

5 years after first doing my mentor’s Fertile Life Method course, I revisited it and learned even more this time.
Thanks for inspiring me and sharing your expertise so generously with us.

I also managed to fit in some delicious fancy meals

Chinese medicine practitioners have to continue their professional education each year and this was a lovely way to do it.

It’s so satisfying seeing so many of my clients get pregnant and see the precious little babies they create. I’m happy to play a part in this.

Kirteb works .. so if you are down that way and want a baby, try to see her or her staff!

Perfect Autumn/ Winter cooking; this recipe is so healthy & delicious (sorry vegans/vegos, please ignore this post!). You cook the whole organic chicken to make the broth, you then have heaps of slow cooked shredded chicken to put in other soups, pies, tacos, warm salads, curries, toasties etc. 🤤
The recipe also makes a couple of litres of gut healing/ immune boosting bone broth. You can even freeze the bones afterwards, and then make another batch of bone broth. Super wholistic and nourishing. Let me know what you think. You could also add some ginger.

There's no comparison between homemade chicken stock and stock poured out of a can. The flavors are much deeper, and the quality of nutrients far surpasses anything you'll find wrapped in aluminum.

This is a delicious, easy, nourishing recipe. Great to have left overs for the work week too.

A comforting vegan one-pot recipe that counts for 3 of your 5-a-day! You can't go wrong with this iron-rich, low-fat, low-calorie supper.

Winter cough? Here are some acupressure points for you to try at home, to boost Lung, Stomach & Kidney Qi and boost well-being.

Press each or both points for 1-2 minutes, doing slow deep breaths. You can try this 1-3 times a day.

Avoid dairy and sugar. Eat lots of nutrient dense soups, protein and vegetables, with lots of fresh herbs, onion, leek, garlic. Have bone broth each day to boost gut health & immune.

Poached pears are delicious, and nourish weak lungs.

In TCM the lungs are the beach of tree, and Kidneys the root. So you must rest and nourish both root and branch of tree, in order to restore wellness.

If you are an existing client and need herbs delivered DM me. If you have any health questions, me up!

'The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) welcomes the announcement from the Australian Government that pregnant women are now eligible for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.'
Obviously it's hard to book pfizer shots right now, but worth getting on a waiting list or booking ahead if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as 'there is evidence of antibody in cord blood and breastmilk, which may offer protection to infants through passive immunity.'

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the establishment of high standards of practice in obstetrics and gynaecology and women’s health.

Covid update: I’m super grateful to now be fully vaccinated with two Pfeizer shots at RPA hospital. This may reduce my chance of catching covid by roughly 85%. It also means if I get it I am less likely to have negative short & long time side effects from catching covid.

As an essential worker, for my peace of mind, I am getting covid tested every weekend (wild times!), so I can work in the clinic each week with a clear conscious. The results are always negative but help to alleviate any anxiety around being an asymptomatic carrier.

Re side effects from second jab. Day 1 tired.
Day 2 a sore arm at injection site and a frontal headache. Two doses of two Panadol cleared it up.
Day 3 slight dead arm and a bit tired bit pretty great really!

Hope you are all finding the silver linings in lockdown. I’m loving the extra time to try new recipes, do yoga, clean and clear, catch up on all the admin, garden, redecorate, read, potter and house perv while I walk around the streets of dulwich hill & summer hill (cooks river is too popular atm for my liking).

Acupressure is a safe and effective way to encourage a natural labour. The points are on the acupuncture channels and each one has a myriad of benefits. For example, Spleen 6 ripens cervix, alleviates anxiety, promotes contractions and so much more. I have created an e-book attached to link. Please use and share with any friends/ partners who are pregnant. Can use the points from 36 weeks onwards. Perfect for birth partner involvement.
