Greetings from Scotland!

Gosh hasn't this year absolutely flown by! I have been privileged to spend this year travelling throughout different parts of the world learning how food and medicine is grown by their custodians.

These last few months we have been embracing the Scottish winter, by walking through mossy Scottish forests, diving headfirst into designing permaculture systems for a hobby farm and resting by a crackling fire.

Harry and I have been embracing organic farm life and have been learning different techniques of fermentation. We learnt to make sauerkraut in the Netherlands. We have been making sourdough in Scotland as well as concocting kombucha and ginger bug ferments to warm ourselves internally for an energy boost through the cooler months.

Being involved in many Permaculture gardens has shown and taught me about how creating resilient and self-sustaining food systems to produce nourishing whole foods and healthy animals is integral to supporting our social, physical and mental health.

I've enjoyed seeing all the different types of herbal medicine people grow- (sometimes not intentionally!) as many surprising fruits, berries and leaves have a therapeutic effect in Chinese Medicine.

This year I have been able to think about how we can cultivate ideal long term health prospects through better food quality, fostering a life of movement and connection with nature and people in our community. I am so thankful for this period of life experience which I can bring back to share with you.

There has been so much devastation worldwide this year and it has been hard not being a part of your support system and an active part of our wider Wollongong community. Hold your loved ones close and look out for those vulnerable around you as we all benefit from helping one another.

I don't have a date as of yet that I will be back in clinic, however I will post when my books are open, where I so look forward to seeing you again.

I wish you a safe and enjoyable break over the coming weeks!

Warmly,

Zoe @ Wollongong Acupuncture

I am currently working on organic farms in southern England and have been staying at a lovely Winery and Press in Somerset. A massive perk of working here is being able to enjoy this beautiful sauna! The view of the lake is breathtaking, though not long after this shot, the swans pictured soon surrounded said sauna and began nesting and hissing at any who dared move by them. They had decided I was to stay in the sauna and transform into a prune 😂

Today I reunited with my teacher from uni, Dr. Amy .tcm- in Malaysia at the iconic Petronas Twin Towers! It was so fun to catch up on each other's lives and discuss being practitioners in Australia and Malaysia. Thank you so much Amy for welcoming me to your country ❤️

I have absolutely loved seeing Malaysia so far, and for anyone visiting this foodie paradise and needing some Chinese Medicine TLC, I can recommend this gem of a human in Kuala Lumpur 😍

Aaaaand thats a wrap on my last day in clinic until 2027!
Thank you to everyone who I got to see and hug farewell over the past few weeks. Each of you have impacted me in many incredible ways and whilst it is emotional to say goodbye, I am so excited to travel the world and learn lots to bring back to the Wollongong community.
I have promised many of you that I will be more active on social media 😜, so this is just the beginning!
I will be starting this adventure in February, in my favourite country- Vietnam 🇻🇳 where I will be diving into Qi Gong Teacher Training. Can't wait to teach you some of these meditation/movement sequences 🧘‍♀️

P.s shout out to for this comical mug 😂

Cosmetic acupuncture is BACK baby!

Now it's no secret that stress has a huge affect on the body, but did you know it can exacerbate the deepening of wrinkles? And these last few months have been STRESS-FULL am I right?

No need for you to continue to stress, cosmetic acupuncture can aid in helping you to relax whilst targeting fine lines, wrinkles or loss of muscle elasticity.

There's only a handful of spots available next week 🤫 so head to wollongongacupuncture.com.au for more info and to make a booking online.

Thanks to the amazing Ros for being my pre-lockdown model!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCKDOWN LOCALS!
An awesome gem located in the heart of Cringila is . The owner Ray makes the most delicious date biscuits you will ever taste. These lil rays of sunshine (😜) combine the magic combination of sesame seeds and dates. Both of which are wonderful at nourishing your blood for supporting skin and bowel health but the challenge is not eating too many of them because they are THAT good!

If you want to know about more incredible eats in Wollongong, join .cantina on a foodie tour when tours open. Nina will show you where the best kept secrets are located in Fairy Meadow, Cringila, Warrawong and more!

Harry and I have been able to enjoy some TASTY produce over the weekend, thanks to in Coniston! 🤗

They are doing $50 market boxes or $90 family boxes for pick up- the fruit and veg is so fresh, you can taste and smell its goodness. Head over to their page and give this local gem a follow, they have some great deals and incredible produce that isn't available at your average fruit and veg shop. 🥦🍍

Creating as little waste as possible in my clinic is hugely important to me. That is why my clients receive their own personal jar for herbal medicine that can be brought back to be refilled at their next appointment! So far this has stopped the waste of at least a hundred plastic containers ending up in landfill. Plus this also allows appreciation of the different layers of herbs in your formula ☺

SUPPORT YOUR LOCKDOWN LOCALS!
A huge shoutout to our local & for creating these herbal prescription labels for me. These labels are 100% compostable, and you can even dispose of them into your FOGO (Wollongong people, you know what I'm talking about!) So if any other businesses looking for sustainable or compostable packaging design, these are your people!

Making herbal formulas is something I genuinely love doing. There are hundreds of different types of herbs that can be prescribed to make a formula unique to you. That is why during a consultation with me, we talk about E👏V👏E👏R👏Y👏T👏H👏I👏N👏G so we can get to the bottom of what your body needs.

Here is a look at my gorgeous dispensary, thank you Celeste for your incredible photography!

Spent the afternoon with .cantina and friends making vegan and vegetarian spanakopita in an online cooking class.

It was an INCREDIBLE way to spend 2 hours on a drizzly arvo in lockdown and I cannot wait to do it again. Wherever you live, follow .cantina and join Nina's online cooking classes, it will be the best fun you have without leaving your house. Thanks so much Nina! Now to enjoy these pockets of deliciousness in front of a roaring heater! 🤤😌

It's NAIDOC week and SeedMob needs your action! Help stop fracking on country by signing this petition and donating if you can.

The Federal Government is funnelling millions of dollars into dirty fossil fuel corporations to fast track dangerous gas fracking plans in the Beetaloo basin. Despite Traditional Owners and First Nations Communities continually standing up and saying no to dangerous fracking on their country.
