Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
(“I bow to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.”)

I found this beautiful Ganesha at a lovely little shop . He will now sit in the clinic and studio gracing us with wisdom and healing..

🌺✨ Ganesha – The Remover of Obstacles ✨🌺

Ganesha, with his elephant head and gentle wisdom, is one of the most loved deities in yoga and Hindu tradition. Son of Shiva and Parvati, he gained his unique form after protecting his mother’s space – a reminder of devotion, courage, and transformation.

🙏 What Ganesha Symbolises
🐘 Wisdom & Clarity
🪷 New Beginnings
💪 Strength through Challenges
💚 Compassion & Loyalty

He teaches us that obstacles are not punishments, but opportunities to pause, learn, and grow.

Jai Ganesha!

🍎 September is just around the corner… and it always feels like a new chapter waiting to begin. The air shifts, routines reset, and it’s the perfect time to prepare for your own fresh start.

I’m Donna and I help women find balance and ease through:
🌿 Acupuncture – supporting hormones, energy, sleep, digestion & more
🥗 Lifestyle & nutrition guidance – small seasonal changes that make a big difference
🧘‍♀️ Yoga & cycle-aware practices – from restorative calm to soothing your cycle

This season often brings transitions — little ones heading back to school, older ones off to university, or maybe the thought of starting your own family. Wherever you are, September offers the chance to pause, re-centre, and create rhythms that truly support you.

✨ What fresh start are you ready to step into this September? Share below, I’d love to hear. 💛

✨ Music is medicine ✨
Still buzzing after seeing Raye at All Points East yesterday 💜 Her voice, her presence – pure soul food. Sometimes she even sneaks into my yoga flows, and yesterday just reminded me why 🎶🧘‍♀️

📚✨ Always learning, always evolving — for you.

Behind every acupuncture session or yoga class I offer is hours of study, passion, and deep commitment to women’s health — from hormone harmony and PCOS to fertility, IVF support, and perimenopause.

These books? They’re part of my ongoing mission to give you the most grounded, compassionate, and evidence-informed care I can — blending ancient wisdom with modern insights.

Because whether you’re navigating your cycle, prepping for IVF, or just craving calm in a busy world — you deserve to feel deeply supported.

Master Tung’s 11.17 – The “Wood Anger Points” 🌿🔥

These are my favourite points of this week! These remarkable points from Master Tung’s Acupuncture system are known for their powerful effect on the Liver and nervous system. Referred to as the Wood Anger Points, 11.17 helps to disperse Liver Qi stagnation and bring emotional balance — especially when anger or frustration is suppressed or unresolved.

🔹 Needled on the left side, opposite the Liver, these points:
• Calm irritability and rage
• Alleviate migraines, TMJ, PMT and menopausal mood swings
• Support emotional release and uplift mild depression
• Lighten the spirit and restore inner calm ✨

🔹 When used bilaterally, they can also:
• Clear sinus congestion and runny noses – great for hay fever season!
• Support skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis
• Help reduce sweaty palms due to nervous tension

These are some of my absolute favourites to use in clinic – simple, elegant, and so effective 💚

What a beautiful day today 🌞. Perfect day to Get Outside and Soak Up Some FREE Vitamin D!

Sunshine is one of the easiest and most natural ways to boost your Vitamin D levels — and it’s completely free! Just 10–30 minutes of sun exposure a few times a week can make a huge difference.

Vitamin D Benefits for Health and Fertility:
☀️ Supports hormone balance
☀️ Improves egg quality and ovarian function
☀️ Boosts s***m quality in men
☀️ Strengthens immune system
☀️ Reduces inflammation
☀️ Supports healthy pregnancy outcomes

Low Vitamin D is common, especially in the UK, and can impact your fertility journey and overall wellbeing. Try getting out in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is gentler — and always protect your skin if you’re out for longer!

Have you heard of the 4th Trimester?
The baby has been born, but now the Mother is born. This time can be deeply emotional, exhausting, joyful — a powerful mix of experiences.

From the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is one of three key transitions in a woman’s life that offer an opportunity to restore and support long-term health and well-being. The other two are the start of menstruation and menopause.

After birth, you may feel depleted — blood loss, hormonal shifts, lack of sleep. This is a time for deep nourishment, rest, and support. Allow yourself to receive help where you can. It’s a precious window to heal and bond with your baby.

Acupuncture is a gentle but powerful way to support your recovery and emotional well-being. The clinic is a safe and nurturing space — if you need help, I’m here.
