25.01.2022 Acupuncture is wonderful for stress relief. The calm and space one can gain from feeling loved and nurtured is so important in these times. Here we can see the acupuncture point Yin Tang between the brows. This point is deeply calming, especially when placed over some well chosen essential oil. My favourite is frankincense. We can also see a cone of mugwort being burnt till cosy and warm, on the Point Ren 6 below the navel. Ren 6’s Chinese name - Qi Hai - translates as ‘Sea o...f Qi’, and is the point related to the lower tan-tien. Keeping this area warm and strong is considered vital for good health as the lower tan-tien houses your vital energy, power and essence. #stressrelief #selfcare #naturalmedicine #naturalhealth #tweedheads #goldcoast #murwillumbah #acupuncture #tcm
25.01.2022 Behold friends....my beautiful new website is finally live... A very talented friend, graphic designer, business dynamo - Ingrid from @be.visual - has taken my ramblings about vibes, energy and multilevel healing, and reimagined my clunky old website into one of real beauty and grace. I’m so so happy with the result Such a talent I’m so grateful for her vision and patience, as it was probably the longest rebuild ever due to a seemingly endless parade of delays (not the s...mallest all this Covid business). Thank you again Ingrid.

24.01.2022 When tuning forks on your cranky shoulder lead you to the culprit for your problem, and you turn to gua sha on magnesium oil to release the tension...
24.01.2022 The inimitable Heather Bruce.... I’ve been training in her Gentling Ways, and am now introducing extended sessions combining acupuncture (moxa, cupping....) with yoni steaming and Mayan Abdominal massage. A beautiful, immersive way to return your body to balance
23.01.2022 The border closes again tomorrow and it’s already mayhem, however for when the dust settles there is a new border resident pass...phew. People within these postcodes are free to cross the border and travel as far as the indicated zones, so long as you have the appropriate pass. #goldcoast #tweedheads
21.01.2022 Are you collecting enough Vitamin D? Many people would say they get heaps of sun, but it’s not as simple as that. You need to go out when the sun is at least 45 degrees in the sky. Put on a hat and get your belly and thighs out - these areas are able to synthesise the highest amounts of Vitamin D on the body. Collect sunshine until your halfway to pink, which I feel is when you start to feel that tingle (or 15-20mins if you are darker skin and can take a lot more sunlight...). Make sure you don’t wash for at least 10 minutes afterwards to allow your body to absorb all that sunshiny goodness. According to @droscarserrallach you can make 20000 IU of Vitamin D this way, and you should do this 3 times a week. Did you know Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system to fight infection, manage inflammation and pain in the body? #selfcare #naturalmedicine #immunesupport #tweedheads #acupuncture #goldcoast #northernrivers See more
21.01.2022 In Chinese Medicine they saythe Yi (intention) leads the Qi (energy). A good acupuncturist will always stay present as they needle, clearly directing the work they wish it to do in the body, whether it be moving ‘stuck’ areas, building, warming, draining, connecting As I work, when an aspect of the physical or energetic bodies are in need of extra attention, I like to visualise intuitively chosen healing colour or send love and affirmations through the needle ...to help the body shift closer to balance. One of my favourites is the Ho’oponopono prayer honouring the connected nature of our existence I’m sorry, Please forgive meI love youThank you. We are more powerful than we realise. Our thoughts and intentions, when used mindfully, can help create deep shifts for ourselves and those around us. #qi #qimedicine #energy #energyhealing #naturalmedicine #energymedicine #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #goldcoast #tweedheads #northernrivers See more
20.01.2022 Gentle facial cupping as part of a sinus treatment. Feels amazing. Gently encouraging the movement of fluid in the sinuses after local needles, and of course acupuncture and moxa to balance the body No cupping marks as these cups are so gentle.... #sinusrelief #hayfever #acupuncture #tweedheads #goldcoast #murwillumbah
20.01.2022 This image is from a lecture by Christopher Daprato and Kenneth Leung (UCSF Department of Physical Therapy) who treat the US Olympic swim team. It shows MRI scans of the trapezius taken before, during and after cupping. Notice how much more space there is in the tissues during and after the treatment. Cupping therapy is so effective for releasing tight, congested tissue, and feels so good to boot. #cuppingtherapy #cupping #pain #painrelief #acupuncture #goldcoas...t #murwillumbah #tweedheads @ Banora Point

19.01.2022 Charging up oils on my selenite slab. Raising the vibration Love using oils in my sessions. Grounding, moving, heart opening... What I love most is how they change with each person. An oil that smelt amazing for one, is so wrong an hour later for the next person...living, vibrating essences ... So powerful #doterraaustralia #essentialoils #crystals #qi #selfcare #vibrationalmedicine #energymedicine #goldcoast #tweedheads #murwillumbah #northernnewsouthwales

Two days in a row my little love has gotten her sun, fresh air and exercise in the best possible way. Confident, happy and free. #selfcare #sunshine #tweedheads #goldcoast #murwillumbah #acupuncture #naturalmedicine

15.01.2022 Mummy-to-be Balance... Float away on special pregnancy cushions that allow maxiumum relaxation, while Tanya uses Acupuncture and moxibustion combined with aromatherapy massage to give relief to all those typical trouble areas. Assists with pain relief, stress, and promotes well being throughout your pregnancy journey. Why not make it a 90 minute session and add in the Spinning Babies’ ‘Three Sisters of Balance’. Tanya will take you through Rebozo (baby jiggling), forward-lean...ing inversion and the side-lying release stretch, to help you feel calm and relaxed, encourage soft and supple pelvic ligaments, and open and balance the pelvis. These tools are fantastic for pre labour, but also really valuable to have on board during labour itself. Partners are welcome to come and learn these tools, to get familiar with some ideas for labour support. #acupuncture #tweedheads #cupping #essentialoils #goldcoast #pregnancy #mummytime #labour
12.01.2022 Loving our fancy new blue light glasses by #blublox that arrived today. We will be wearing these babies each night to block the blue light emitted from our screens and house lights, that trick our bodies into thinking it’s still daytime. Back in the day, after nightfall there would only be fire and the starry sky to light our way till sleepy time. The blue light emitted from our devices etc tell our bodies to keep cortisol (stress hormones) high and suppresses melatonin (...sleep hormone), which can disrupt sleep and damage your health. Good sleep is vital to optimal health. #selfcare #sleep #sleephygiene #healyourself #tweedheads #goldcoast #murwillumbah @ Banora Point

12.01.2022 My beautiful new Teishins - non insertion needles - all the way from the US. One nurturing copper, embedded with a sapphire, and one powerful silver, embedded with a Tanzanite. A Teishin is used to move and balance the meridians, on the skin or in the auric field. When yielded with skill it can be very powerful. These beauties were crafted by the talented Lacey Dupre of Myrrh Arts and Medicine.... With coronavirus these babies took around 2.5 months to arrive in the post. Worth the wait #acupuncture #naturalmedicine #energetichealing #goldcoast #tweedheads #murwillumbah
12.01.2022 TOOLS FOR NATURAL BIRTHING It is with great relief and heart felt joy that Tanya and I are finally able to bring you this amazing workshop again.

12.01.2022 My new Tiger Warmer (thanks @helgadelmundo). The therapeutic incense is lit and slots inside the metal tube to gently warm the end. This is then used to apply warmth and pressure to the point or channel. A beautifully soothing and gentle way to stimulate and move an area or organ system. Wonderful for children or sensitive patients ... #chinesemedicine #acupuncture #selfcare #naturalmedicine #traditionalmedicine #tweedheads #goldcoast #murwillumbah See more
11.01.2022 WHAT IS A YONI STEAM...Now known by many names, such as vaginal steaming, V-steaming, pelvic floor steaming and peri-steam hydrotherapy, a yoni steam is a simple practice that entails sitting or squatting over a pot of steaming herbs. I like to use the term ‘yoni steam’. ‘Yoni’ is the Sanskrit word meaning ‘sacred temple’ or ‘divine space’ and refers to the entire female reproductive system including the exterior vulva, the vagina and the internal womb. All these parts benef...it from the medicinal properties of the yoni steaming herbs. ~Sali McIntyre So excited to receive this beautiful book full of wonderful wisdom today. PLUS It came gift wrapped with a beautiful handwritten message to me inside Oh and a sticker!!! Can’t wait to read and deepen my knowledge on the deeply connecting yoni steam. Such a beautifully calming, grounding, soothing practice. Consider adding one on to your acupuncture treatment with me, to really take things to the next level. #womenshealth #naturalmedicine #naturalhealth #selfcare #acupuncture #goldcoast #tweedheads #murwillumbah @ Banora Point See more
11.01.2022 Amid all the upheaval, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine has much to offer. Being part of the allied health field in Australia, we are considered an essential service. As such, I will be continuing to serve, however I have had to make some changes to ensure hygiene standards meet current recommendations. And of course, if you are experiencing any respiratory signs and symptoms, travelled o/s etc, I’ll see you in a fortnight There will be limited appointments each day in ord...er to leave time between for cleaning. I will also offer Saturday appointments for the time being. If you are experiencing financial hardships, but are in real need of some care, please message me to see what we can work out. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is valuable in the treatment of stress, pain and fatigue - all things that we may be experiencing now more than ever Sending much love as we navigate this rocky road #naturalmedicine #healthyliving #stressrelief #painrelief #letssticktogether #kindnessmatters #tweedheads #acupuncture #goldcoast #northernrivers #murwillumbah

10.01.2022 Tools of the trade. Moving qi in a myriad of ways....deep healing for the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies... If you’re feeling stressed or in pain; if isolation is starting to grind on your body and mind; acupuncture (and its friends cupping, moxa, massage, medical Qi Gong...) may help. Still working through Coronavirus restrictions, as Chinese Medicine is considered an essential service. ... #acupuncture #naturalmedicine #healing #selfcare #tweedheads #murwillumbah #northernnewsouthwales
10.01.2022 Mid Ohm tuning forks applied to Bai Hui (Du20) at the crown, and over the heart space at Ren 17 provide incredible grounding and calm for the body. Ohm is said to be the original sound of the Universe, from which all other sound emanates.This primordial vibration, with all its beautiful overtones, is the music of our sphere, planet earth." ~Composer and Author, Marjorie de Muynck. #energyhealing #energymedicine #naturalmedicine #vibrationalmedicine #chinesemedicine #acupuncture #goldcoast #tweedheads #northernrivers
10.01.2022 Moving the Stomach Qi with my copper Teishin. A Teishin is a non insertion needle, and can be used anywhere in the energetic field. In this picture it is being used to clear a blockage on the Stomach meridian below the knee. The importance of good Stomach Qi cannot be underestimated. Nourishing the earth element is the foundation for good health.... Needling in this manner is obviously very gentle, and can have a tremendously calming and balancing effect on the body. #chinesemedicine #energyhealing #energymedicine #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #goldcoast #teeedheads #murwillumbah

06.01.2022 Siberian fir One of my favourites to use in clinic. According to the book, Emotions and Essential Oils, Siberian Fir is the oil of Aging and Perspective. It is said to assist in the release of regret and grief. I love using this divinely woody oil to support emotional shifts. Combined with Ylang Ylang over the heart space and spine, it is a real gift ... #emotionalhealth #hearthealing #selfcare #nourishyourself #essentialoils #doterra #doterraaustralia #tweedheads #goldcoast #murwillumbah

05.01.2022 The long smooth exhale...every time we present our ‘Tools for Natural Birthing’ workshop, as we go through breathwork I am reminded of the common theme in so many practices... the long smooth exhale. Our breath, when used mindfully, breathing deep into our bellies and then slowly releasing, with a longer slow and smooth outbreath...can help calm and connect us to the here and now. Studies show that abdominal breathing reduces the stress response associated with the... fight or flight mechanisms of the sympathetic nervous system. During inhalation, the sympathetic nervous system facilitates a brief acceleration of heart rate; then during exhalation, the vagus nerve secretes a transmitter substance (ACh) which causes deceleration via the parasympathetic nervous system. Therefore, the long smooth exhale stimulates the vagus nerve to slow heart rate and calm the nervous system. Whatever you’re drawn to - Qi Gong, Yoga, visualisations...there are a vast supply of breathe practices to choose from. Or simply breath...mindfully...with a long smooth exhale to help maintain or restore calm and connection in you body and mind #selfcare #breath #breathingexercises #stress #anxiety #acupuncture #lifehacks #goldcoast #tweedheads #murwillumbah
05.01.2022 The mid ohm tuning fork on DU20 - aka our crown or physical connection to the heavens....Deeply calmly and grounding.... Applied after frankincense has been placed on the third eye and hairline, and then paired with Wild Orange over the heart space for further grounding and flow... The acupuncture point Yin Tang between the brows helps calm the mind, and in combination with the frankincense, further deepens relaxation ... Thank you @u.r._yoga for indulging me as I tried to take this (quite tricky solo) shot #acupuncture #energetichealing #selfcare #essentialoils #naturalmedicine #tcm #goldcoast #tweedheads #murwillumbah
04.01.2022 Extra Puffy Brazilian Cheese Puffs....grain free, nut free, gluten free....super delicious! Thank you @jowhitton for this most delightful recipe.

03.01.2022 These beautiful Solfeggio tuning forks arrived today. Yippee...so excited to add to my healing toolkit! Solfeggio Tuning Forks are created in the six original healing tones of the Gregorian chants, which were said to give tremendous spiritual blessing when sung in harmony during religious masses. They sound and feel amazing. Feeling pretty blissed out after my first play.

03.01.2022 ORGANIC BEESWAX CANDLES... I have been using these for my lovely little altar, and in the evening as we wind down for bed.... I’ve even been showering by candlelight so as to not reintroduce blue light right before sleep. Organic beeswax candles have the safest fume rating of any candle. They are free of chlorine, paraffin, paints or decorations, palm oil, soy oil, inks or any hazardous ingredient.... It is said that beeswax candles release negative ions that clean the air... I invested in some gorgeous pillars for the bedroom, and some glass light bubbles for the tea lights. To keep costs down I purchased a box of wax pearls and some wicks - I just place in the wick and fill around with the pearls. Easy and quite cost effective!! #sleephygiene #naturalhealth #selfcare #goldcoast #tweedheads #northernrivers @northernlightcandles @ Banora Point
03.01.2022 A beautiful healing session with a gorgeous friend yesterday. Started with a yoni steam using motherwort, mugwort and chamomile to soothe and relax the vaginal tissues. The steam is deeply calming and soothing, and reconnects us with our womb space, setting the scene for some deeper healing. This led us perfectly to a navel cup to remove cold, followed by moxa to help rebuild the Yang energy (Yang energies fuel our physiological processes). Some gentle abdominal massa...ge to move lymph helps shift accumulated fluid. I could feel imbalance around the heart centre so I used an esoteric acupuncture protocol- Heart Yin Balance - a la Mikio Sanskey - to disperse and ground this. A pulse balance utilising Qi Gong Meridian therapy completed the session, using the pulse to identify and address the root imbalance. A deeply shifting and balancing session. #acupuncture #tweedheads #yonisteam #selfcare #naturalmedicine #cupping #goldcoast #murwillumbah See more

01.01.2022 Dousing for imbalances in the meridians with a beautiful silver Teishin. The Teishin is a non insertion needle that is used to move Qi as well as diagnose imbalances in the energy field. The monthly study group with @gregqiarts helps hone these skills and encourages me to level up. Love working with this medicine in all its many magical facets - from the etheric to the physical - so many ways to encourage healing in the body.... #qi #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #energetichealing #energyhealing #goldcoast #tweedheads #murwillumbah
01.01.2022 A beautiful Saturday. Gorgeous morning down at #fingalbeach with my girl, followed by a deeply healing, very intimate sound bath with the beautiful @soundwavehealing at @deva_co.

01.01.2022 I love this...what is it that nourishes YOUR soul? Eat a variety of nourishing, cooked whole foods. Drink lots of clean pure water. Get sunshine for Vitamin D3 (or take a supplement). And make time for what makes your soul happy. Good health is a happy body, happy mind, happy spirit ... #immunesupport #happyheart #selfcare #naturalmedicine #naturalhealing #goldcoast #acupuncture #tweedheads #northernrivers
01.01.2022 I’m excited to announce that I am now offering extended sessions incorporating Mayan Abdominal massage, yoni steaming and of course all my usual acupuncture and Chinese Medicine wizardry. These sessions run for 2.5-3hours, and dive deep into undoing everything that is blocking your flows - Cold, trauma, scar tissue, organ displacement - to restore balance and proper function to the body. The Mayans believed that if a woman’s uterus was in balance, her whole body was i...n balance. This is a beautiful treatment, grounding yet expansive. For my first few treatments, while I’m ironing out any kinks in my own flow, I am charging just $150 for this deep dive (regular price $220/$210 concession). A genuine bargain.
