Mindfulness is the practice of bringing awareness to the present moment. Whatever you are doing, be present in that moment. Bring your awareness to the sights, sounds, smells around you. Being mindful can bring peace to your nervous system and balance qi flow.

Acupuncture supports the flow of qi and blood, helping the body regulate and heal. It is an ancient therapy that complements modern medicine for a wide variety of health complaints.

Consistent treatments—rather than one-offs—support lasting change.

Boxing Day was once a day when people boxed up extra food and gifts to donate to those less fortunate. A good day to reflect on all the gifts of the season and feel grateful for everything you have.
🙏
The practice of gratitude has been found to improve happiness. Spend a few minutes each night finding at least one thing that you were grateful for that day. Challenge yourself to find different things each day.

In Chinese medicine, immunity is known as *wei qi*—the body’s protective energy. Stong wei qi helps protect against bacteria and viruses. In the old days these illnesses were thought to be caused by the wind. We know today cold & flu are due to viruses. Eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, frequent hand washing are all things we can do to stay healthy.
✨ TCM tip: Wear a scarf to protect your neck and upper back from wind and cold to help preserve immune energy. Being cold drains the body's resources and may make you more susceptible to viruses.

Wellness starts with how you fuel your body. Balanced meals support steady energy, hormone health, and stable moods. It’s not about perfection—it’s about consistency and listening to your body’s needs.
✨ Tip: Aim for protein, healthy fats, and fibre at each meal to support blood sugar balance.

In this cold, dark, stressful time of year bundling up for a brisk walk can boost mood and mental well-being by releasing endorphins and reducing stress, anxiety and symptoms of depression.

Find an activity you love and get out there and move. Your body will thank you.

It’s a beautiful morning! ❄️ Crisp air, warm sun, a low fog and frost crystals sparkling on the branches.
🥶 It can be tempting to look at the thermometer and stay inside. Dress in layers and get out there. You’ll feel better and be rewarded with beautiful sights. And rosy cheeks.

🤔 Did You Know?

Many of the challenges that come with aging, like vision changes, spinal pain, and bladder issues, can be supported through acupuncture when treatments are adjusted for the unique needs of older adults.

By gently strengthening Qi and Jing, modifying needling techniques, and incorporating touch therapy, acupuncturists can help promote stability, clarity, and comfort in later life.

Aging doesn’t have to mean decline, it can be a time to restore balance and support the body’s natural wisdom.
