Social Media & the Five Elements: Why does social media feel so triggering?

I have a complicated relationship with social media, I always have done. I want to use it to share my work and connect with others, but if I'm honest, I often find myself feeling irritated, overwhelmed, or even jealous when I scroll. This is heightened when I am feeling stretched or vulnerable in other areas of my life.

It’s taken me a while to understand why and actually, applying the Five Element theory has given me some real insight.

✨ Metal & Authenticity – Metal seeks truth, depth, and integrity. But social media often feels like the opposite—highlight reels, filters, and carefully curated success stories. No wonder it can feel so hollow at times.

🔥 Fire & Validation – Fire craves connection, joy, and recognition. The likes, comments, and dopamine hits of social media feed this, but also leave us craving more. When engagement is low, it can feel like rejection.

🌳 Wood & Comparison – Wood thrives on growth and purpose, but scrolling can make us feel like we're falling behind. Seeing others "further ahead" can bring up frustration and self-doubt.

💧 Water & Overstimulation – Water values quiet reflection, but social media is loud. The constant input can be draining, leaving us feeling scattered or restless.

🟠 Earth & Connection – Earth longs for real, nourishing relationships, but social media offers surface-level interactions. No wonder it can leave us feeling empty instead of fulfilled.

So what do we do? For me, it’s about using social media with intention, and trust me I am still learning every day, and often failing in setting boundaries. It is about reminding myself that what I see is not the full picture. I try to focus on creating rather than consuming—sharing from the heart instead of getting lost in comparison.

Does this resonate with you? How does social media make you feel? I'd love to hear. This is a daily quandary for me. I have been close to leaving socials all together many times, but as a small business this feels so scary...💬

On this International Women’s Day, I think of my Mum.

Today is a day to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women. A day to acknowledge the progress made and the work still to be done. But for me, today is simply about her.

Her memories may be fading, the person she once was slowly slipping away, but she is still Mum, and always will be. The woman who wrapped me in warmth and love as a child, who stood by me through the storms of my teenage years, who faced her own challenges yet never let them stop her from making sure we were cared for, fed, clothed, supported, and encouraged.

Alzheimer’s may be taking pieces of her, but it can’t take away everything she has given me. It can’t take away who she is in my heart.

On this International Women’s Day, I honour my Mum. The strongest, most selfless woman I know.

Hello!

Acupuncture in its various forms (dry-needling, TCM, Five Element) is an effective means to treat many types of pains, illnesses and injuries. A patient can visit an acupuncturist for all the same reasons you might go to a doctor, as well as for general wellbeing and health maintenance.

Acupuncture has been used successfully for thousands of years and is today classed as a very effective form of complementary treatment.
Common symptoms we see in clinic are:

- Chronic pain (such as headaches, back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis)
- Stress, anxiety, and depression
- Insomnia and other sleep disorders
- Digestive issues (like irritable bowel syndrome)
- Menstrual cramps and premenstrual syndrome
- Infertility and other reproductive issues
- Allergies
- Fatigue
- Migraines and tension headaches
- Respiratory conditions (such as asthma)
- Nausea and vomiting, especially chemotherapy-induced nausea
- Perimenopause and menopause related symptoms
-Pregnancy related symptoms and pre-birth preparation

How It Started vs. How It’s Going

This is fresh-faced 21-year-old me, straight out of university with a BSc Hons in Microbiology. Back then, I had big dreams of working in science, which initially led me to train and work as a science teacher. But honestly, it just didn’t feel like the right fit.

With a mortgage to pay and little room to pivot, I shifted into the corporate world—a chapter that lasted years. It wasn’t until more recently that I had the chance to retrain and follow my heart into something that felt more aligned, and that was acupuncture.

What’s fascinating is how my original studies are shaping my journey today. My interest in the gut-brain axis links directly back to my microbiology background, and it’s driving my current focus on emotional and mental wellbeing. I’m particularly intrigued by how the gut impacts conditions like anxiety and depression—and more recently, its role in Alzheimer’s disease, which has become deeply personal due to a family connection.

It’s funny how life comes full circle, often in ways we don’t realise until much later. My early science studies are now fuelling my passion for research in acupuncture and its impact on the gut-brain axis. It feels like I’m finally bringing together all the pieces of my journey.

Have you ever found your past unexpectedly shaping your present? I’d love to hear your story. 💭
