Wow! I can't believe it's a year ago today we began a new chapter in our lives up North.

What a ride it's been, and I loved every minute of our life in Cheltenham, but it's great to be back here after being away for 25 years.

We're loving life here and creating more memories, and serving our local community.

I just want to say a huge thank you to my clients, customers and the lovely locals we've met and we've made.

Happy days 😁

🍁 Point of the Week: Large Intestine 4 (Hegu)🍁

As Autumn sets in, our bodies can feel more sluggish — and the sniffles start creeping in. Large Intestine 4 (Hegu) is a brilliant point to help keep things moving — both physically and energetically!

🌿 Why I love this point:
✨ Boosts the immune system and helps ward off colds
✨ Relieves headaches, sinus pressure, and tension
✨ Supports healthy digestion and detoxification
✨ Encourages emotional release — helping us “let go” of what we no longer need (perfect for autumn!)

👉 Find it on the back of your hand, in the fleshy web between your thumb and index finger. Try gently pressing or massaging it for a minute while taking a few slow, steady breaths.

❗Please avoid using this point if you’re pregnant — it’s powerful for moving energy!

🍂 Do you struggle with boundaries?

As the seasons shift and autumn settles in, our body asks for more space — more quiet, more warmth, more breath.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is the season of the Lungs, which are all about boundaries — knowing what to let in and what to release.

Just like our breath, boundaries are a rhythm:
we inhale what nourishes us, and exhale what we no longer need.

When we ignore that rhythm, we feel it. Our chest feels tight, we say yes when we mean no, and we start to feel stretched too thin.

But when we pause, breathe deeply, and honour what our body’s asking for, we can feel my energy settle — stronger, clearer, more grounded.

This season is a great reminder that healthy boundaries are part of healthy immunity.

They keep our energy protected, just like the Lungs protect us from the chill in the air.

💚 World Mental Health Day – Find Calm with Acupuncture💚

If you’ve been feeling a bit frazzled lately, you’re definitely not alone.

As autumn rolls on and life gets busier, many of us notice our stress levels rising and our sleep slipping.

This World Mental Health Day, I just want to remind you that there are gentle, natural ways to help your mind and body find their calm again.

Acupuncture works by soothing the nervous system, easing tension, and helping your body move out of “fight or flight” and back into balance.

People often tell me they feel more relaxed, sleep more deeply, and just feel more themselves after a few sessions.

It’s not about perfection — it’s about giving yourself space to rest, rebalance, and breathe again. 🌿

If stress, busy thoughts, or restless nights have been wearing you down, acupuncture could be a lovely way to support your wellbeing this season.

Take care of yourself — you deserve it. 💫

🍂 Point of the Week: Lung 7 (Lieque)🍂

Feeling that autumn chill or the first signs of a sniffle? This powerful little point is your immune-boosting friend!

🌿 Lung 7 helps strengthen your lungs, support your body’s natural defences, and ease tension in the neck and chest. It’s also lovely for helping you let go — just like the trees this season.

👉 Find it on the thumb side of your wrist, just above the little bony bump.

Gently massage it while taking slow, deep breaths — a simple, calming ritual for daily self-care.

Breathe, release, and stay well. 💚

Have you notice how many people have coughs and colds?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn belongs to the Metal element, which governs the lungs and large intestine.

Our lungs are the body’s first line of defence, protecting us from coughs, colds, and seasonal bugs. When Metal is balanced, our immunity is strong and we can breathe deeply and clearly.

This season, support your immune health by:

🌬 Practising deep breathing to nourish the lungs
🥣 Eating warming, lightly spicy foods (like ginger, garlic, onion)
🍂 Decluttering your mind and space to ease stress and mental load
💧 Staying hydrated to counter autumn dryness

By caring for our lungs and learning to let go of what no longer serves us, we create more space for fresh energy and stronger defences.

👉 How do you support your immune system as the seasons change?

I've loved spending time with my family this weekend, especially to celebrate my mam's birthday. We had a lovely meal, glass of wine and then we sat and played music, danced and talked 🎶

It's the simple pleasures that bring us joy❤

Taking time to be present, and find joy in every day moments is a great way to reduce anxiety and stress 😌

What are you doing this Sunday to enjoy being in the moment?
