22.01.2022 Distinguishing anxiety It is so easy to label anxiety as bad, though its important to remember anxiety is a healthy part of life. It is when anxiety becomes irrational, occurs out of the blue or dictates certain areas of your life that it is important to check in with yourself. Perhaps it may take reaching out to friends, meditating, facing life challenges head on, changing something in your life, getting some acupuncture, getting some counselling, etc to start the journ...ey to healing and understanding yourself better. Whatever it is that you are drawn to, whatever you feel will nourish you and help you navigate through this challenging time, its time to take action. Dont leave it for next week. Prioritise your wellbeing and take care of YOU. #anxiety #selfcare #acupuncture

20.01.2022 Today Im fortunate to have the opportunity to stop by the beach and reflect in between a house call and lunch. Its so easy to allow the mind to get caught up in the worries, judgment and struggles of yesterday, today and tomorrow Its moments like sitting on a bench watching the waves, taking a deep breath and feeling the cool air on my skin that allows me to let it all go for a moment and remember that peace and serenity is always available to me if I choose it to be

19.01.2022 Thousands of years ago when Chinese medicine theories began, there were no x-rays or MRIs available to study the insides of our bodies. Therefore the ancient Chinese doctors created methods to understand the bodys interior. Pulse diagnosis was one of those methods. This skill has been passed down through the millennia and is still used in clinic today as a tool to provide information about the state of your internal health...

16.01.2022 HOW HERBAL MEDICINE WORKS Herbs are made up of natural chemical compounds which influence your body’s physiology. Ancient Chinese doctors would taste and take each individual herb in order to work out its function. After their research was complete they would then administer formula’s to address the health concerns of the public. After 1000’s of years we now have the technology to understand exactly how these herbs influence the body. It is amazing to see that what these herbs were used for back then is scientifically relevant and proven today. #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #cheltenham

07.01.2022 *Taking care of your immune system this winter* In Chinese medicine wei qi acts as our immune systems first line of defence. Its like a blanket protecting us and fighting off the elements such as cold, damp and wind. When we catch a cold, the cold wind usually invades the nape of the neck causing symptoms like a stiff neck, head ache and runny nose. It is the wei qis job to expel the cold and prevent it from moving more internally. .... . Support your immune system by: . -wearing scarfs and dress for the weather. Its better to have an extra jacket you need to take off then be chilly . -getting 7hrs sleep (getting 6 or less increases your chances of getting sick) . -wash your hands frequently . -look after your digestion! This is a great time to be on probiotics regularly . -Melbourne winters definitely require us to take vitamin D daily #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #winterwellness #cheltenham

03.01.2022 20 percent of adult Australians suffer from chronic pain and of those people 5 percent report debilitating pain! There are lifestyle factors and action that can be taken to help reduce pain Naturally #pain #acupuncture Video 1: Do you know the drivers behind your pain?

03.01.2022 Stress is one of the biggest factors that manifests into unwanted symptoms. Stress can come in many forms though this video is specifically related to mental-emotional stress. Life isnt always going to be peachy. There is a universal balance of dark and light that we can see playing out in our life and equally playing out inside ourselves. It is easy to always strive for, want to be in and experience the light (referring to happiness, fun, joy, prosperity, etc). Alternat...ively it is a learned behaviour to always stear away from the dark (referring to feelings of anger, sadness, jealousy, depressed, etc) The more resistance there are to feeling or seeing anything we deem as dark OR the more we choose to dwell in the dark, the harder it is to let the light naturally and effortlessly flow in. To feel all emotions is a part of being human, the key is finding a healthy ways of emotional expression which allows you to have compassion for self, know what needs need to be met,understand yourself better and have a richer life experience #pain #acupuncture #stress
