24.01.2022 Acupuncturists are included in the Allied Health family! This means Im one of the very, very lucky ones who is classed as an essential service at the moment. I have always dealt with needles and blood droplets so have always had very high hygiene standards and not much has changed in regard to Covid-19 (except now I disinfect door handles and pens too!). Please keep eating as many veggies and fruit as you can, and if you feel like an immune system boost heading into cold and flu/virus season, just send me a message or book online x

24.01.2022 Popped into Garden Gems Plant Nursery at Morayfield for a "quick look" and came home with four new plants. This is my favourite new addition to my home clinic! Thank you for all of your help Garden Gems ladies, Ill be doing my best to keep her alive #acupunctureworks #acupuncture #burpengary #morayfield #gardengems #smallbusiness #shoplocal #complementarymedicine #herbalremedies

23.01.2022 Immune System Health Remember that around 70% of your immune system is in your gut, so give your body the best fighting chance and offset that two weeks worth of Doritos with some fruit and veggies and antiviral herbs. If youre feeling a little rundown, anxious and overwhelmed I can prescribe a Herbal formula just for you all via email. I am also offering all of my existing patients immune boosting supplements at the same $ that they cost me, just text me. Stay safe x

21.01.2022 Welcome to Perimenopause! Did you know that Chinese medicine may help with these symptoms? Perimenopause is the stage before menopause (officially complete cessation of periods for 12 months). Your hormone levels change and you can spend a lot of time feeling like an anxious, crazy, hot and sweaty (then suddenly cold) shadow of yourself. In Chinese medicine this has a lot to do with what we call Yin fluids. Often times many of these symptoms can be managed with a few weeks of acupuncture sessions and some herbal medicine. It IS possible to start feeling like yourself again!! Get in touch if youd like to know more Image from @menstrualhealthhub thank you!

21.01.2022 Hello everyone, just letting you know that as of next week I will now also be seeing patients at my home clinic in Burpengary on Saturdays! (EFTPOS available and all health funds are accepted). You can book online at www.katrinawoodacupuncture.com See you soon x

20.01.2022 Today was my last day of clinic until January 4th. Thank you so much to everyone that was barked at by our dogs this crazy year, I really appreciate your support. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and hope you get some down time. See you soon xx

17.01.2022 Jet waiting for her massage on her and her brothers personal table . When you have dogs you learn that there is no longer any such thing as privacy. Shower curtains are nudged aside, toilet doors are head butted open and your old portable massage table is now only for the acupuncture and massage of your furry family. #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #integrativemedicine #complementarytherapies #massagetherapy #relaxation #stressfreelife #dogslife

17.01.2022 Ever wondered what your GP is talking about when you get your scan results back? Here is a great illustration of the different disc issues one can experience. Back pain can be truly debilitating but the good news is that according to the World Health Organisation, acupuncture has been proven through trials to be an effective treatment for lower back pain Its thought the effects come from stimulating the central nervous system.This may trigger the release of chemicals such as... endorphins into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either alter the experience of pain or produce bodily changes that promote a sense of well-being. To help manage back pain I like to use a combination of acupuncture, massage and a heat therapy like hot stones to get you back to feeling like yourself again. (image courtesy of needledocnj)

16.01.2022 Hi everyone, My wonderful friend Elleni is a womens empowerment coach, doctor of Chinese medicine and Kambo practitioner. Shes looking to chat to some women who are feeling a bit blah about life. There is absolutely no catch, its purely research!! If this is you, email Elleni at [email protected] or through Facebook or IG She really is a superstar

16.01.2022 Desperately missing your massage therapist during this crazy time? Acupuncture is a wonderful, science based alternative! As a member of the Allied Health community I am still allowed to be open and I’m treating 5 days a week.

15.01.2022 Early morning walks. Not going to lie, getting out of bed before 7am (or 9am actually) has never come naturally to me. Even after studying Chinese medicine, the hypothalamus and circadian rhythm, it still takes me a while to ‘wake up’. But whenever I do make the effort to get up early, it’s 100% worth it every time

15.01.2022 ENDOMETRIOSIS One in ten women suffers from endometriosis, it takes an average of 7.5 years to get an accurate diagnosis as period pain is still passed off as normal, and there is no known cure. And many people havent heard of it. Symptoms can include excruciating pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, chronic fatigue, pain with sex and pain with urination and bowel movements. Endometriosis can start as early as a girls first period, and is a leading cause of infertili...ty. It can disrupt your work life, social life and immune function, and a recent study suggests that it could be costing society around A$9.7 billion dollars a year. Endometriosis is more than just painful periods, some women actually dont have any pain, others are regularly curled in foetal position too scared to move. This is a condition that is very close to my heart, having lived with it for nearly 33 years since the age of 13, so if you have any questions or need some help managing your symptoms please send me a message and Ill see if I can assist x

13.01.2022 Christmas can be a really difficult time for many people; the end of the year often brings feelings of grief, loss, loneliness and a mountain of stress. If youre having a hard time finding the Christmas cheer that you seem to see everywhere you turn, maybe consider some acupuncture. Research has shown that acupuncture can have a significant impact on stress, anxiety and mild depression. I still have some appointments available before Christmas and Im here right through the holidays if you need a treatment and a chat.

13.01.2022 Stress! In Chinese medicine we often use this acu-point to help send energy downwards. Headaches, constipation, babies etc. So its a really, really good point if you are that person who holds most of your stress and tension in your neck and shoulders (you know who you are). Massage the highest point of the muscle for a few seconds on both hands and feel your tension slide away. (Its also a great spot for any kind of pain!)

12.01.2022 Hi everyone, I am very excited to tell you I am now treating full time in my peaceful clinic at home in Burpengary. You can find me there Monday to Saturday from 9-6 and until 8pm on Thursdays! Health rebates are available. Come and visit.

12.01.2022 Womens health can be confusing and complex. Let me help you with all of the stages from period pain, IVF support to menopause and everything in between. Image from @publicdomainrev

11.01.2022 Anyone who has met me knows that I absolutely adore dogs, these two are by far my favourites though. Earlier this year our boy got aspiration pneumonia during surgery and I thought my heart might break open. Our vet was great; in conjunction with western medicine, she fully supported me giving him daily acupuncture, acupressure and cupping to help shift the fluid, calm inflammation and bolster his energy. He is a strong (not so little) boy and his lungs became clear in truly record time. Western & eastern, if we combined forces more often just think of the healing we could help along the way!

11.01.2022 Hi everyone, I’m just letting you know that my books are currently closed to new patients for the next few months. If you usually book online and I’ve seen you before please just call or text me and I will book you in from my end, this will hopefully shorten the length of time you’re waiting at the moment! ... Thank you so much for your support. Best wishes, Katrina x

11.01.2022 Heat therapy! Just about to harvest my homegrown mugwort, and attempt to make some moxa punk! Traditionally we burn moxa either directly on the body or indirectly (held a few cms away) to help move qi and blood. Moxa can help with a huge range of conditions from diarrhoea and colitis, urinary incontinence and period pain to fatigue, osteoarthritis and asthma!

09.01.2022 Seasonal allergies and Sinusitis! And its no surprise when you see magnified pollen particles... I cant do anything about these spiky little things, but I can help to boost your immune system, move fluid in your face and alleviate pain associated with sinusitis. Let me know if youd like to try acupuncture Image from @publicdomainrev

08.01.2022 I have two appointments left on Tuesday and Wednesday if you need a little pick me up in your first week back at work, your digestion is suffering from post holiday indulgence or in fact any reason whatsoever! Call or book online Repost @catherinebrownacupuncture

07.01.2022 The Rat is the first sign from the 12 animals cycle of the Chinese Astrology, and for this reason, 2020 is considered a year of new beginnings and renewals!

06.01.2022 Hello everyone, Im finally launching my FB page and website. So my first post is just letting you know that I am no longer at Zen Chi and now am treating in my little sanctuary in Burpengary. Look forward to seeing you soon www.katrinawoodacupuncture.com

06.01.2022 Many healthfunds reset on January 1st, and lets face it you pay enough for cover so you may as well use it up! Come and de-stress before Christmas. Im here six days a week and some late nights. Online booking available

06.01.2022 Facial Cupping! Feeling a bit puffy? Sinus problems? Complexion a little dull? Facial Cupping is a great way to shift fluid and tone muscle, a relaxing and pain free mini facelift

05.01.2022 FIBROMYALGIA! When the weather changes dramatically during storm season I find that a lot of my day is spent helping those suffering from Fibromyalgia. Acupuncture is commonly used to reduce various forms of pain. In western terms It works by reducing inflammation and stimulating the release of your bodys own pain killer (endorphins). Studies suggest that acupuncture can help many facets of fibromyalgia, including the chronic fatigue and anxiety that frequently come along with the pain. If this damp, sticky weather is getting you down, send me a message to see if acupuncture may help you to start feeling better x

05.01.2022 I have two free appointments tomorrow if this is a little too accurate at the moment! Please message me for details.

01.01.2022 Love her or not, Lady Gaga has amazing skin. You know what else she has? Regular acupuncture! Book in for a holistic facial before Christmas and not only will you have a lovely, dewy glow for the holidays, I will also gift you a box of Love Teas Skin Glow packed full of antioxidants to support your skin from the inside, out. Gift Vouchers available!!

01.01.2022 I use cupping therapy in a treatment to increase blood flow to your sore areas, this reduces muscle tension and inflammation, and promotes healing. It can also help to draw out toxins, perfect for this time of year! (Image from Lovecupping)

01.01.2022 A huge thank you so much to everyone Ive had the pleasure of treating this year. Happy holidays to you all, I wish you mountains of rest, peace and refusing to bring tennis balls back xx
