Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (diagnosis and treatment) is now available on Mondays from an acupuncture clinic in Stokes Valley.

As I am a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine (currently in my 2nd year of 3) the treatments are only $50 which pays for the use of the room, equipment and mentorship of the onsite experienced Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

If you've ever wanted to try acupuncture and get to the 'root cause' of your issue then get in touch with me to arrange an appointment.

Acupuncture is not only used to help with pain management but is widely used for imbalances within the body's internal network that is making you feel poorly, tired, heavy, nauseous, dizzy, hot/cold, achy etc...... - in Western terms, perhaps tinnitus, chronic fatigue syndrome, vertigo, IBS, fluid retention, migraines, allergies, asthma, stress, etc.....

Please text me on 021 1445111 or email lorna@bodytonic.co.nz 😊

Appointment slots available are:-

Mondays - 10am,11am,12pm, 2pm,3pm,4pm.

That's a wrap for this block week in Auckland 🤩

We learned Qi Gong and the 8 brocades for restrictions in the body for myself and to pass onto others. We touched on the foundations and techniques of Tuina massage and learned some more interesting information on Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture.

Until next time.... back home to Wellywood 😍

I'm here again! I almost missed my flight - I was doing some last minute revision at the airport and lost track of time 🙄

More 'hands on' training in Auckland 🤩

Exams went well 😁 Back to it next week - not that I've had a break from it!

Watch out for a newsletter coming soon, where I will be offering Acupuncture at a clinic nearby at a significantly reduced 'student' rate.

Flying up to Auckand again! But this time I'm testing my endurance during 3 days of exams, yes 3 days worth. These will be a testament to my learning at this halfway point of my degree in Health Science (Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Wish me luck!! 🤞

🤓 Science nerds.. ...you dont need to be. This is an article delineating a brief yet insightful, informative and factual report on fascia (connective tissue) in the human body.

See if you can spot acupuncture being mentioned?! 🙃

Your body is not just a biomechanical machine. It’s an electrical symphony, tuned and powered by movement itself. And at the heart of this symphony is your fascia—a living, intelligent network of connective tissue that wraps every cell, muscle, organ, and nerve.

Fascia is made of tropocollagen, a triple-helix protein that forms a liquid crystal matrix. This matrix is piezoelectric—meaning it generates electrical current when it’s compressed, stretched, or moved.

Every step.
Every breath.
Every subtle pressure sends signals through this matrix.

These signals travel along collagen nanotubules, acting like fiber-optic cables, transmitting quantum-level information across the body at astonishing speeds. They help regulate repair, perception, coordination, and even emotional tone.

This is why movement is medicine.

It doesn’t just build strength—it activates the body’s regenerative field.
It doesn’t just improve circulation—it charges the fascia with current.

In stillness, the system can stagnate.
In mindful motion, the system comes alive.

This isn’t speculation.
This is measurable.
It’s how acupuncture works.
It’s why physical therapy is effective.
It’s why breathwork, somatic practices, and movement-based healing modalities produce such deep results.

You are not separate from the field.
You are not static.
You are a dynamic, self-healing matrix of light, pressure, water, and frequency.

Your body listens to how you move.
Your fascia speaks in electric code.
And regeneration is the response to coherent, conscious motion.

Move with awareness.
Charge the grid.
The current of life is always flowing.

I asked the ER Doctor if I could do my own stitches.......

She said "Suture self"
