First fun run this year. All for a good cause. And, actually, really fun with a group of friends. Now, I need to focus some acupuncture treatments on my knee. An old skiing injury showed itself. Old injuries can be treated successfully with Chinese medicine. It can just take longer than an acute injury.

So, the lesson here is to always come for treatment straight away. It doesn't matter if it feels insignificant or that it may heal on its own. Acupuncture helps prevent future issues when we have MSK damage.

🌿 Since the closure of The Disability Foundation in February — where I had the privilege of working as an acupuncturist for 3 years at the RNOH — I’ve continued supporting my Stanmore network from my friend and colleague’s beautiful, Swedish-style clinic cabin in Bushey Heath.

I love the calm of this space, the sense of sanctuary it offers, and the connections I’ve been able to nurture and carry forward.

Treating chronic pain and lifelong disabilities is never a quick fix. It asks for patience, a devotion to small, steady habits, and a commitment to oneself and to health.

Even when life feels comfortable and familiar, we’re reminded that the only constant is change. And it’s through change — even the hardest ones — that we grow, heal, and discover new strength.

Here’s to showing up for yourself, even when the path feels long. 🌱

🌸 SPRING

✨️ Did you know that the Magnolia flower is a medicinal Chinese herb?

Found in the materia medica, in the category "release the exterior," this medicinal, when combined with its other pairing herbs, is given to unblock the nasal or***ce via the lung channel pathway. It also can clear a foggy head and brain by leading clear qi to the head.

Sounds a lot like Hay-fever. Another way that nature gives the medicine you need in the season that you need them.
