We just had the most gorgeous walk — and it made such a difference 💛 January can feel so dark and heavy but nature has such a beautiful way of bringing the light in.

Open space, quiet paths, winter light, fresh air… exactly what the body and mind need right now.

In Chinese medicine, winter is linked to rest, reflection, and conserving energy. When we feel low, heavy, or flat at this time of year, it’s often a sign that our system needs gentle support — not pressure to “push through”.

A slow walk in nature helps Qi (energy) move without forcing it. Fresh air nourishes the Lungs, movement supports circulation, and being surrounded by natural space helps calm the nervous system 🌳

You don’t need a big hike or intense exercise. Gentle movement, steady breathing, and time outdoors are enough to support emotional balance and lift mood during the winter months.

If January is feeling a bit much, I really recommend getting out into nature — even briefly. It’s one of the simplest, most grounding ways to support your wellbeing at this time of year ✨

✨ New in clinic: Red Light Therapy ✨

I’m so excited to introduce red light therapy as a supportive addition to your acupuncture treatments 🌿

Red light therapy works by gently delivering specific wavelengths of light into the body’s tissues, helping to support natural healing at a cellular level. When combined with acupuncture, it can enhance the effects of your treatment and support deeper, longer-lasting results. Perfect for my fertility clients, people experiencing pain or fatigue…but also for those of you who fancy a little facial boost while your needles work their magic! ✨

How red light therapy may support your treatment:
🔴 Encourages tissue repair and recovery
🔴 Helps reduce inflammation and discomfort
🔴 Supports circulation and cellular energy
🔴 Promotes relaxation and nervous system balance

It’s completely non-invasive, deeply relaxing, and many clients describe it as a warm, calming addition to their session ✨

Red light therapy can be especially helpful alongside acupuncture for pain, stress, fatigue, hormone support, and general wellbeing. I’ll always tailor its use to you and your individual treatment plan.

If you’re curious about adding red light therapy to your next appointment, just let me know — I’d love to talk you through whether it’s right for you 💛

I love this post and it’s something I often talk about in clinic. Life and grief isn’t either/or..it can and needs to be both ❤️

"Grief and joy arrive together more often than we expect. Not fighting, not taking turns. Just here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

Joy can coexist with grief or sorrow and laughter can share space with pain. There is nothing “wrong” with you if your days are still feeling tough—you’re not a burden, you’re human. Setting the expectation that some days will be hard and others will be easier, that you can hold struggle in one hand and joy in the other, can help you navigate loss and hardship.
