Fibroids are more common than you think. Many women live with fibroids without even knowing it but for others, they can cause heavy periods, pain, bloating, and fatigue. While Western medicine offers treatments like medications and surgery, your diet, stress levels, and hormone balance all play a key role too.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a gentle, holistic way to support your body improving circulation, easing symptoms, and restoring balance. If you're navigating fibroids, know that you're not alone and there are natural options that can help.

Heartburn, nausea, or a sour taste in the throat? These could be signs of acid reflux. One acupuncture point often used for relief is PC6 (Neiguan). Located on the inner forearm, it’s known for calming the Stomach, relieving nausea, and easing emotional stress (which can trigger reflux). Self-care tip: eat slowly, avoid heavy evening meals, and try gentle pressure on PC6 (with deep slow breathing) for relief from nausea or indigestion.

Soothe Your Stomach & Calm Your Mind

Feeling bloated, gassy, or heavy after meals? A gentle abdominal massage using Vetiver essential oil in a base of St John’s Wort oil can offer real comfort - especially for those with Spleen Qi Deficiency, often linked to overthinking, worry, and sluggish digestion.

This blend is an essential oil version of Xiao Yao Wan, known for supporting emotional balance, easing tension, and helping the digestive system feel more at ease.

Use this blend in slow, clockwise circular motions over your abdomen, especially in the evening - a simple ritual your body and mind will love.

DM me if you'd like an Abdominal Massage Help Sheet.

eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) is blood test that measures how well your kidneys are filtering waste. Is yours out of range? This is an early sign of kidney stress or dysfunction - even if you feel fine.

Even mild changes in kidney function deserve attention. Staying hydrated, managing blood sugar, reducing processed foods, and supporting your body naturally with acupuncture can make a big difference.

I’m currently offering consultations for those looking to support their kidney health through acupuncture. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or just want to stay ahead of the curve, I’m here to help.

Message me to book (contact details in comments). Your kidneys will thank you!

In Chinese medicine, your digestion is like a little campfire 🔥- it needs warmth to do its job. So when you guzzle ice-cold water, it’s like throwing a snowball at your spleen. Not helpful. Not appreciated. Sip something warm(ish) instead. Your Spleen will thank you. Your digestion will high-five you. And your belly won’t feel like it’s digesting soup in a snowstorm.

Did you know whales get the menopause too? 🐋
Yep — humans, orcas, and pilot whales all decided, “You know what? We're done with the baby stuff — let’s run the pod instead.”
Post-menopausal whales become wise leaders.
Post-menopausal humans become wise leaders with snacks, fans, and zero patience for nonsense.
Menopause: not the end — just the beginning of your Queen era.
(And acupuncture can help make the transition smoother than a whale’s tail.)

When your energy, sleep and mood are all on strike, even putting on your bra feels like an extreme sport. Acupuncture can help rebalance your energy, lift that menopausal fog, and maybe even help you find your to-do list...wherever you left it.

It is , so let's talk about acupuncture and anxiety...

A recent study has shown that acupuncture is beneficial for anxiety. A potential mechanism is that acupuncture affects parts of the brain known to reduce sensitivity to pain and stress, as well as promoting relaxation and the activation of the ‘analytical’ brain, (Hui 2010).
