A moment I’ll never forget 💛 This photo was taken while I was in labour — supported by two of the most incredible women I know.

Naomi, who many of you know as one of Red Tent’s co-founders, is not only an acupuncturist but also a trained doula. And on the right is my sister Ingrid, who is now a beautiful and wise midwife.

Having them by my side in such a powerful time made all the difference and I’ll be forever grateful.

At Red Tent we’ve supported so many women through pregnancy, labour and beyond - and this is a big part of why.

Life today looks different ... and so do our health challenges.

Modern life brings incredible convenience but also more complex layers of stress, anxiety and imbalance. From demanding work schedules and digital overload to environmental toxins and stress, our bodies are responding to a very different world than the one Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emerged from.

In Chinese medicine, illness patterns have always been understood in the context of a person’s environment, behaviours and lived experiences. For example, working long hours in damp fields under the hot sun would relate to a very specific pattern of physiological disharmony.

That principle still holds true.

But in today's world, the "fields" might be a fluorescent-lit office, a jam-packed commute, or constant phone notifications and the health impacts are just as real.

At Red Tent, we work with each client to understand the whole picture of what’s going on: emotionally, physically, and environmentally - to develop treatments that meet you where you are.

Because health isn’t one-size-fits-all and healing isn’t just about the body... it’s about your whole life.

Flashback to 2009 - our very first space together in Sydney's Eastern suburbs.
Just two women, a vision and a goal to improve people's wellbeing.

It’s been a journey of care ever since. We started individually even years before this and we’re so proud of how far Red Tent Health Centre has come. We are also very grateful to all of you who’ve been part of the story.

We’re still here (now in Bondi Junction and Erskineville and still deeply committed.

Just arrived into Melbourne on this beautiful morning. I’m at CERES enviro park, waiting for my course on trauma to begin… with Sean Tuten. I’ve been studying with Sean throughout this year, learning about how life manifests in the channels. He’s from New York. This weekend is focused on trauma, the physical and the emotional. This is my jam. I am obsessed with learning how to untangle ourselves from this, in healthy holistic ways. It’s a part of life to be affected by it. I’m fascinated by the different ways we can free ourselves from it too❤️❤️❤️

Itchy Skin? Your Body Could Be Trying to Tell You Something

Itchy skin isn’t just annoying, it can be a signal from your body. In Western medicine, it’s usually a symptom of allergies, eczema or other conditions. In Eastern medicine, it can reflect deeper imbalances like heat, dryness, or internal “wind.”

Both perspectives offer different insights. At Red Tent, we often combine these approaches, using acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle guidance to help restore balance and ease discomfort.

It's also important to think that if the condition isn't somthing you regularly suffer from , it could even be from bugs like bed bugs or scabies.

Whatever the root cause, it's important to look into it further and don't ignore it.

✨ Your skin is speaking — are you listening?

Ever read or heard a Chinese medicine diagnosis and thought,
“Wait... I have what? Wind in my Liver?

You’re not alone.

The truth is, translations of Chinese medicine - often passed through multiple languages - tend to lose a bit of nuance along the way. Okay… a lot of nuance.

Words like “Qi” or “Wind” aren’t poetic metaphors: they’re terms with very practical meanings in Chinese medicine. But in English, they can sound a bit... out there.

👉 Qi roughly means vital energy or functional activity.
👉 Wind doesn’t mean a breeze blew through your spleen - it can describe sudden, mobile, surface-level conditions like rashes, dizziness or sneezing.

So next time you hear a TCM term that makes you wonder, just know it makes a lot more sense in context.

At Red Tent, we translate these ideas into real-world, relatable language while still honouring the deep diagnostic wisdom behind them.

🩷 Your tongue is trying to tell you something…

In Chinese medicine, the tongue is one of the most important diagnostic tools we use.

It gives us a window into your internal health, helping us understand what’s going on with your digestion, circulation, fluids, stress, immune system and more.

We look at:
👅 Colour – pale, red, purple?
👅 Coating – thick, greasy, yellow, patchy?
👅 Shape – swollen? thin? scalloped edges?
👅 Moisture – dry or too wet?

For example:

A pale tongue might indicate a deficiency in Qi or blood

A red tongue could point to heat or inflammation

Some coatings may reflect damp heat

Scalloped edges might suggest Spleen Qi deficiency

No coating can indicate depletion of fluids or Yin

At Red Tent, we use tongue diagnosis alongside pulse-taking, detailed questions, and your lived experience to shape treatments.

✨ The tongue speaks a language Chinese medicine understands.

Coffee to wake up. Wine to wind down. We get it - they’re part of life.
But if you’re going through menopause, those comforts could be adding fuel to your fire (literally)!

From night sweats to dry skin and poor sleep, alcohol and coffee can quietly make things harder. But you don’t have to give them up... just get smarter about how and when.

Menopause is a time to moisturise from the inside out.

Check out our website for tips on more nourishment and less depletion.

One of our clients shared something really striking with us, and they’re happy for us to share it, just like they do with their own friends. ☕

They’ve stopped drinking coffee twice this year, and the second time they absolutely confident is for good. The result? Their anxiety has almost completely disappeared and they feel calm yet with better energy: basically like they used to, before years of caffeine had them tense and on edge without even realising it.

They can’t believe the difference and, in hindsight, feel like they’ve wasted so much time feeling this way — all without knowing it, because they’ve been drinking coffee since they were a teenager.

This isn’t about “coffee bashing” at all. Caffeine affects people differently and many can enjoy it without issue. But for some, it really sneaks up on you and changes how you feel, often without you even noticing.

Our client was keen to share their experience because of the massive difference it’s made and how freeing it feels to realise just how much better life can feel without the constant tension creeping up on you.
