21.01.2022 Lots of (well meaning) people have commented how great that you got the puppies for quarantine. In all honesty, they were always part of a plan in my heart for many years, their timing was never politically or geo-trapped planned. I always wanted a furry family in the waiting room of @zhongcentre to welcome clients and soothe anxious new clients (who can be worried of needles if the furries are friendly). I didn’t realise that their inception and training would be a bapti...sm of fire! These guys work sooo hard to be well behaved, and extra extra hard to be friendly wiggly. (In between crying). Their arrival with #TheFuckering has been intense to say the least. These fur babies (because OMG the poo constantly pooooing), are enough to manage on their own guiding them into the life at Zhong (without crying); let alone holding space for our wonderful tribe and ever expanding community as the biggest waves outside continue rage ongoing. If you have noticed, there is less posting, less ranting, less info-sharing, less glitter. I deliberately choose not to contribute to the negative or fear rhetoric. I don’t feel that the @drabbieacupuncture platform is the space to drain. But let’s be clear, shit in Melbourne is still hard, we are dealing with REAL crappy issues, anything that was already an underlying issue has been completely unmercifully magnified to the point of complete egg-cracked-open-the-yolk-is-already-scrambled. And it’s still no where near over yet. Nor the emotional, physical or mental ramifications and recovery from this. At @zhongcentre we aspire and maintain to be a zen place for taking a breath, letting out all the panic, rage, fear and profanity, a grounded (read we play rap in our reception) space for clients to come and reset. So, as much as I hate internet junk-filler; I will continue to #puppyspam to lighten the online mood, hopefully give you a little fuzzy feel and distraction from Groundhog Day. Don’t be fooled, I’m still sassy and sarcastic off the social media. I am totally fine got all my own shit in matching glitter luggage bags. Any well meaning DMs not in the format of a GIF or meme will be blocked as usual.

20.01.2022 ZHI - weeeeeee! Zhi, will power house extravaganza. Intent, hope and best version of yourself is housed in the kidneys! . In trying times, the Kidney element can get consumed by worry and fear (eg uncertainty, fatigue and never ending monotony) and this can affect the pep of the Zhi. (Same for breaking habits, creating new routines and being able to stick to them, and putting what’s best for yourself first). . Learn more about the Zhi-Spirit and some super dandy handy tips... for your daily life (in any style) to help boost your Kidney element and get the most out of your #zhi Link to join is in the Instagram bio

08.01.2022 Breathe, Just breathe. There is always something that you can do, have control and enjoy. Nothing is forever, and all I’m going to contribute to the mass of internet guru junk right now is - Melbourne is going to be sOOo elitist woke than everyone else with all this introspective chill time, our hand made sourdough is going to be a new level of food wankery, our kitch hand knitted facial masks will be on all@the cat walks next fall, and our new culture of being so in touch w...ith ourselves Byron is going to have a hard time finding any hipster more zen or aligned outside of Victoria. Don’t worry, we’re just going to find a way of making this another reason why we are so hard core and better than any other state. Look for the good. It’s aways there, sometimes you just have to try harder to focus on it. PS we’re still here for you in clinic until I am dragged away #stkilda #puppyspam #internetguru #zenlife #hipster #coffee #melbourneissowoke

07.01.2022 Do you think this would be adequate ensure no fine in Melbourne ....? It’s like health mask - but make it races season fashionable - AND environmentally friendly... BRB we both know I’m going to go do some hard crafting to make one of these for me. @tina_alabama.... #facemask #healthfashion #womensfashion #2020keepsgiving #greenbreathing #flowerart #floralbeauty

06.01.2022 F R O W N L I N E S | N U M B E R 1 1 #HeadsUp on some of the info bombs that I’m going to share on Sundays upcoming (online) live workshop for #GlowSha The pesky between the brows furrows. Were you constantly told to not hold your face that way or when the wind changes you'll be stuck that way?! And was your reaction to frown further and look at that person like, "WTF seriously there has to be better scientific research to prove that stupid comment to make me want to only ...just frown at you and not actually say or do what I am thinking, you are lucky that these frown lines are holding me back..." Wellll thOse kind of thoughts are what helped to create these kinds of lines in the first place. Good news is, they can be softened (which doesn't necessarily mean that your internal dialogue of sarcasm will be dampened with them) more like, with out the frown lines, your quick whip comments will be like a super power that no one had any warning was within! Double benefits include, when we treat 'Liver lines' I also have to treat the liver system - which can aid with detoxing, aches, teeth grinding in your sleep, clearing eyesight, releasing muscle fatigue and pain, hydrating skin, treating flaking skin... sO much in the body is attributed to liver function!! It is in charge of at LEAST 800 processes in the body (that we are aware of!!) so those little lines have a lot of links and correlations to the internal health systems to answer for!

04.01.2022 When the sourdough starter dries out... Who are we kidding?! I don’t hipster bake!! (Nor am I about to start!) I’m just going to bejazzle everything I come in contact with.

03.01.2022 Won’t lie, all this extra down time I am working on my #GlitterGame HARD! . Come the eventual December or 2021 New Years I’m going to be sAh 90’s @rickeythompson will be my immediate BFF from the magnetic field created by the combined glitter and spice girl pulse spray emanates. . So yes, I’m definitely using this time wisely to create valuable life skills.

01.01.2022 If it’s good enough for #Gaga Immune AND internal, and who the fuck wouldn’t upgrade for the extra #Glow ?!?! In these current times, @zhongcentre is an outing AND an experience. And I am more than happy to play my part in blasting loud RnB or Latino music at reception, bribe you in the door with puppies, cook your tummy with the delicious heat lamps and send you out #Acu-Drunk for the pleasure of it all. ... All fancy and matching underwear is judged, admired and encouraged. . #glowinthedarktimes #MelbourneAreJustHardCoreElitists #StKilda
