A gentle clinic update 🤍

I’ll be stepping back from the clinic for a little while to support my daughter as she welcomes her baby.

Appointments are currently limited to existing clients, and new bookings are paused.

The clinic is planned to reopen from July.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.

Irritable Male Syndrome: Yes, It’s Real
Many people are surprised to learn that men can experience something similar to PMS. It’s called Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS), and it can show up as mood swings, irritability, low energy, poor sleep, or simply a sense of not feeling yourself.
At my clinic, I take a holistic approach to men’s health. Alongside Neuropuncture; a modern, neuroscience-based form of acupuncture that calms the nervous system and restores balance. I also use carefully selected herbal supplements designed to:
Support testosterone levels and healthy reproductive hormones
Improve body fat and muscle composition
Boost stamina, energy, and physical endurance
Support brain health and mental clarity
Enhance stress resilience and overall vitality
When combined with acupuncture, lifestyle strategies, and nutrition guidance, these supplements can make a powerful difference in helping men feel grounded, energised, and back in balance.
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, you don’t have to just “push through.” There are natural, effective options available.
Book your session today or take advantage of a 15-minute free consultation to find out how acupuncture, supplements, and lifestyle advice could support you.

While not a clinical diagnosis, experts say it’s an accurate description of a cluster of symptoms that often appears in aging men.

I’m proud to share that I’ve just completed something meaningful—10 months of dedicated yoga study and practice

Movement with Meaning

Yoga is more than movement—it’s a therapeutic system for self-regulation, healing, and reconnection.

In March 2025, I completed New Zealand’s first-ever Diploma in Yoga Teaching through the New Zealand Institute of Health & Fitness. As part of the inaugural cohort, I was trained in the full breadth of yoga—asana, breathwork, meditation, philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, and ethics. This Yoga Alliance-accredited diploma is helping raise the standard of safe, student-centred yoga education in Aotearoa.

As an experienced acupuncturist, I bring a clinical understanding of the nervous system into my yoga teaching. My work is rooted in therapeutic, trauma-aware yoga, and I’m currently deepening this with further training in Yin and Restorative Yoga—styles that support stillness, subtle energy, and deep rest.

What I offer includes:

Therapeutic yoga for hormonal balance, pain, and nervous system support
Breathwork and pranayama to calm or energise as needed
Yoga Nidra and guided meditation to promote rest and repair
One-on-one and small group sessions tailored to your individual needs
ACC-funded yoga will be available soon (registration in progress).

This is not performance-based yoga.
This is presence-based movement—gentle, informed, and deeply nourishing.
