25.01.2022 Check out my blog for Natural Medicine week... http://naturalmedicineweek.com.au//chronic-pain-and-the-n/

24.01.2022 WE ARE OPEN FOR URGENT CARE, CHRONIC PAIN, AND TO HELP WITH SLEEP PROBLEMS, ANXIETY & DISTRESS... BOOK ONLINE TODAY, OR CALL 0407 564 836 TO DISCUSS.

21.01.2022 Just had a lovely balancing acupuncture session at Kallista Chinese Medicine. The hygiene standards are impressive, and I actually felt cozy and comfortable in the mask Ayla and I are still seeing clients by appointment. Highly recommended for stress!

20.01.2022 I love that I came across this... was doing this exact work with a client last night. Especially if our caregivers were less than satisfactory, or we didn't feel safe growing up, we have the opportunity to parent ourselves. We can all benefit from this.

18.01.2022 How you can improve your immune system Plus info on Corona Virus TOP TIPS:... 1. Look after your gut by eating fermented foods such as kombucha, kefir, raw sauerkraut or kimchi OR take a supplement such as Probioform. Eat plenty of fibre, fruits and vegetables. Meat or high protein is more important for O blood types. 2. Immune supplements: VitaminC, Vit A & Zinc Immune boosting herbs: Astragalus, Reishi mushroom and other medicinal mushrooms 3. Anti-viral herbs: Eagle Defence Support and other formulas containing Andrographis, as well a various other TCM formulas that have anti-viral action. Yes- they work! We’ve helped our clients treat nasty infections both viral and bacterial for years! 4. If you are concerned about Corona Virus (COVID-19) and your health or the health of someone you love, we have 2 x TCM formulas that have been developed in Wuhan TCM hospital in China, and dispensed here in Melbourne. These have already helped treat hundreds of patients. Stay tuned or ask us - will be in stock soon.

18.01.2022 Touching our chest and connecting to our heart (just the subtle sensations here) stimulates the vagus nerve and actually brings us back online (into the here and now) and calms us.

18.01.2022 REDUCE STRESS- SHAKE IT OUT WITH TRE! If people are freaking out and need to release stress and tension, I highly recommend TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exerc...ises). Unless you are very dysregulated (chronic anxiety or depression, mental health issues) or have deep unresolved childhood trauma, most people benefit HUGELY from learning TRE. Check out https://treaustralia.com.au for more info and to find a provider, or contact me - I can teach you online and offer nervous system support ongoing if required. If money is an issue PM me, I'm open to barter and offer concession rates. I also offer Somatic Experiencing Trauma therapy - a gentler 1:1 process for those not ready for TRE (Online or from my clinic in Kallista) https://kallistachinesemedicine.com.au See more

16.01.2022 We are still open for appointments, you can book for in-person or shorter online consultations, via our website. We can meet you at the clinic to pick up herbs & supplements, or post them to you :) Call your usual practitioner, or Kali is 5 minutes away.... Kali: 0407 564 836

16.01.2022 NERVOUS SYSTEM TIPS: ANCHORING THE GOOD STUFF We are wired to survive, which means there is a negativity bias the traumatic experiences like shock and pain imprint into our brain and stick so we avoid such dangers in the future. Conversely, any positive things we experience flow through us like water through a sieve. If only these would stick and positively influence our nervous system towards relaxation, openness, curiosity and happiness. There is a method which will hel...p the good stuff to stick, and bring more capacity and regulation to our nervous system. 1. When we have a good experience (even as simple as feeling the sun on our skin), take the time to really feel and enjoy it. At least 10 full seconds. 2. Bring the good feeling into the body and feel any pleasant sensations. Expand it if you can, bringing your arms and legs into your felt-sense awareness. Fell the good stuff here in the NOW. 3. Smile inside and feel grateful for this experience. Gratitude deepens the good stuff even more and keeps the heart centre open to receive more good stuff more often. This comes from my direct experience of working with pleasure and felt-sense awareness in my body, working with clients, my Somatic Experiencing training, and the work of Dr. Rick Hanson (especially step 3) See more

15.01.2022 FINALLY A HAND FRIENDLY HAND SANITISER... A hand sanitizer and surface spray made from natural bioflavonoids (from citrus) that’s TGA approved hospital grade. But it’s kind to your skin and the environment, and doesn’t dry your hands out. In stock now at Kallista Chinese Medicine clinic. Also available online from the Aussan website if you’re not local to the hills.

15.01.2022 Do you know about TRE? It has been one of the best things I’ve ever learned and a game changer in releasing and re- wiring my stress response... I have been teaching TRE for over 8 years now (I teach to clients 1:1 at the clinic) but you can also learn for free online! (Not recommended if mental health is fragile - there are better ways to work more gently such as Somatic Experiencing)

15.01.2022 Happy New Year everyone! We are back on deck and here to serve you. We hope your holidays were safe and relaxing, despite the bushfires. See you soon!

14.01.2022 Get your immune system in shape with Probioform: The best liquid probiotic from Sweden, a natural balance of good bugs, wild yeasts and SBOs. Easily survives your stomach acid, as it’s in its natural lactic acid base, made from fermented molasses. Colonises you’re gut, unlike most freeze dried capsules and powders. I’m excited to stock this supplement at Kallista Chinese Medicine, but you can also buy it online. $119 - great value - 2l cask lasts 2 months :)

13.01.2022 When is the best time to get acupuncture? For many women it is during their pre-menstrual phase. Acupuncture (and cupping) moves stagnant liver qi and has a beneficial effect on mood, sleep, pain, and can improve the flow of menstruation. Ideally we cycle with the phases of the moon, but may drop out of this natural rhythm for various reasons... If you'd like to focus on getting into flow with your cycle again, give us a call!

12.01.2022 Inflammation affects our bodies and our minds. Anti-inflammatory herbs and supplements, such as omega 3 fatty acids, N-Acetyl Cysteine, tumeric and saffron, boswellia, and many more, have been shown to help reduce negative thoughts and other symptoms. But, as most natural therapists agree, the important place to start is with your gut - if your gut is happy, inflammation will be reduced.

11.01.2022 Would you like to learn TRE this lockdown? TRE (Tension & Trauma Release exercises) is an amazing self help tool to release stress and tension from the muscles and the nervous system. It is my go to practice if my stress levels get high or my neck/back/hips tighten up. I've been teaching TRE for over 8 years 1:1 from my clinic and also in groups. I also teach via Zoom from the comfort of your home. As a Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapist, I have other tools as well, to help you feel safe and learn to regulate your nervous system. Book online... or message me here (Kali) if you'd like to chat first :)

11.01.2022 Looking for Deep Nervous System Repair? Kali is an acupuncturist & Somatic Trauma therapist, offering bodywork and profound touch to help you experience deep safety and healing. https://www.kallistachinesemedicine.com.au

10.01.2022 A short video about Probioform - now in stock at Kallista Chinese Medicine. Come and try a sample soon!

10.01.2022 Tips for treating constipation... a good article by a fellow ATMS accredited Chinese Medicine practitioner.

10.01.2022 Stressed? Need some decompression & down time? Try a combination treatment - shiatsu, acupuncture and gentle touch work, or cranio-sacral holding. It helps to: 1. Get you in the body and physically relax major muscle groups (ie. back, shoulders and glutes) 2. Move the stuck qi, return the body's energy to flow... 3. Let go of the mind and drop in to a deep state of nervous system relaxation. See more

06.01.2022 COVID-19, clinic policy, phone consultations & staying healthy - https://mailchi.mp//covid-19-clinic-policy-phone-consultat

04.01.2022 We are very excited to stock Probioform - a liquid probiotic supplement with beneficial yeasts and SBOs.... Instead of traditional freeze-drying methods, Probioform is produced using a fermentation process that leaves in all of the natural acids to support bacterial life, which both improves survival and delivery of the probiotics, while also allowing microbes to begin multiplying in as little as 15 minutes!

02.01.2022 Stress, anxiety & pain? We can still see patients if its for emergency care, or your condition is likely to deteriorate. Limited hours. We also stock supplements and herbs to support your nervous system and reduce inflammation! Need to talk to us?... Kali and Ayla are available to chat over the phone or through Telehealth. Contact details are on the website. Need to pick up herbs? We can arrange this. Want them sent to you? Also an option :)
