25.01.2022 Within my years of treating pregnant women in our clinic and including my own three births I have seen that labour can start subtly usually before week 40. The body starts to prep us by giving us little braxton hicks at night or through the day. There can be random stages where mini contractions last for 20 minutes with each contraction coming in regular time intervals only to stop abruptly leaving us in a state of, "oh I thought we were go". This can happen at any time from ...38 weeks on, sometimes earlier... But every woman is different and some can get no pre-trials but glides easily into active labour when the baby is ready. It's just how your body is made up and how it will respond can be so different to anyone else or previous births, so be gentle on yourself and know that your body knows what it is doing. It's always tricky the first time around as you have nothing to compare it to except maybe your mum or sisters births and this can be so different to what you will experience. Seek guidance from health professionals but also know your inner intuition and gut feeling is very dependable if we listen. Happy slow stages to labour gets you to the finish line, try to enjoy every twinge and false contraction knowing that this is all loading your system with oxytocin which will soften and help efface your cervix to get labour going. Really the women's body is a masterpiece and often our thoughts and emotions just need to get out of the way and let her play her biggest symphony yet. Best, Tabitha

25.01.2022 You reach a point of overwhelming fatigue, youre done, youre too old to keep doing it that way. Because youve arrived at a place where theres nothing to prove, where youre finally enough, where theres nothing more for anyone else that you really have to achieve. And now, what now?... Well now you start to do you, you start on the journey to find who youre really here to be. Brad

24.01.2022 Change of season can get those sinuses all upset and crazy. Acupuncture and our Chinese herbal formula are a real solid team to free your sinuses falling away those side effects of headaches, blocked nose, running nose, can't breathe at night and the list goes on. Pregnant women who suffer from these symptoms, this is a totally safe way to treat sinus pain and congestion.... Best, Tabitha

24.01.2022 So Im guilty of this too, its a tricky one, especially if youre like me and have a tendency to push. But were bless, our bodies are getting wiser and want to share with us what theyre here to say. So listen to the whispers before they become a scream, because your bodies wisdom wants to help you to discover who your really here to be.

24.01.2022 Wishing all the dads out there a very Happy Fathers Day! Have a wonderful day!!

24.01.2022 Because too often we don't, we hope that one day we'll arrive, that this path will lead us to where we want to be. But it doesn't, we never arrive, we just keep getting more of what we got. What you need is a flip. Rather than doing what you've always done change it up and start living your life like you're already there, like you've arrived, start living the version that you're aspiring to be, start out how you want to end up and relax into the person you were always here to... be. That's your path of heart. Brad

23.01.2022 Its been pretty windy on the Gold Coast so I thought there was no better time to let you know about the perils of wind. Just when you thought that the cold and flu season was over the wind appears. Wind is associated with Spring and the liver. Wind brings change but also can bring with it some dreaded bugs. It is seen as the spearhead of all pathogens as it drives those viruses past your immune system and deeper in. So heres some things that you can do. Avoid the wind, when... you can. Be aware of the effects it can have and watch out if you notice that it is aggravating you, at that point do your best to cover up. A cold wind will tend to effect the back of your neck so if you are noticing a draft in that area throw a scarf around your neck. Warm winds tend to effect the face and clog up those sinuses, so get out of it if you notice yourself being effected and possibly can. If it got you and you begin to notice that you are coming down with something, then hit some herbs early. We recommend our Cold and Flu formula which has a wind clearing ingredient, but you may have your favourite, whatever it is hit it as early as possible. You can also boost your immune system with herbs, astragalus being one of my favourites, and do all those things that give your liver a rest, you know all those things that your liver doesnt like. So there it is. Wind is a part of Spring, now hopefully you can escape this active season without any of those unneeded lurgies.

23.01.2022 Wishing all the dads out there a very Happy Father's Day! Have a wonderful day!!

20.01.2022 Congested Sinus Every now and again when the season changes my sinuses can become a little congested and acupuncture is my go-to, to relieve this. (1) Where the needles are put in the face will cause the blood and oxygen to flow in this area and move the congestion.... Plus it doesnt hurt and is very relaxing! (1) SOURCE: https://www.acupuncture.org.uk//a-to-z/1307-sinusitis.html

20.01.2022 We did an Insta LIVE the other day to talk about our new course Understanding What Love Wants. We give some insight to who its for and what it can do for you and your relationship. To check it out, click here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5okJMyF6NeE&feature=youtu.be

20.01.2022 Why we get Sciatica when Pregnant I have two main things to say about sciatica and pregnancy. 1. If you get sciatica regularly, then please get help before you're thinking of getting pregnant, as pregnancy may stir the sciatica up.... 2. Sciatica in pregnant women usually happens because there is more prolactin in the body and this hormone is what helps open our ligaments and muscles to allow the baby to be birthed. So it's a natural state but because it does make us over flexi the muscles can stretch too far and then tighten back around our sciatic nerve causing us pain and discomfort. From a Chinese Medicine perspective its because of the extra heat in your system from being pregnant and this heat will try to escape out the gallbladder meridian that runs through the side of your body making the muscles tighter. It's real easy to over stretch, so watch that you don't go too deep at yoga, push that gentle walk to a longer gait or over do physical things. Lifting heavy objects, toddlers on your hip and even standing or sitting for long periods of time can cause this. Things you can do are rolling regularly on a roller through your hip area, lower back and ITB, it's the big tendon running down the outside of your leg from your knee to your ankle. You don't need to go heavy with this either just apply gentle pressure regularly as force usually won't help. Massaging this area plus taking magnesium and placing heat packs on your hips will all help to unwind those tight muscles, this will encourage blood and oxygen into the muscles. Drink around approx 1 1/2 liters of water a day preferably before 3pm so you wont be up all night visiting the toilet. Healthy happy pregnancy. Tabitha

16.01.2022 Because too often we dont, we hope that one day well arrive, that this path will lead us to where we want to be. But it doesnt, we never arrive, we just keep getting more of what we got.

15.01.2022 This is a reoccurring theme that I see when Im working with couples and individuals. Because she needs to feel your strength, your power, that she can trust you, that youll stay when things get hard. And when I help a man to understand whats calling, they find their deep desire to crack open her heart.... Ultimately, she needs to know that you are willing and able to penetrate her heart.

15.01.2022 You reach a point of overwhelming fatigue, you're done, you're too old to keep doing it that way. Because you've arrived at a place where there's nothing to prove, where you're finally enough, where there's nothing more for anyone else that you really have to achieve. And now, what now?... Well now you start to do you, you start on the journey to find who you're really here to be. Brad

14.01.2022 And while, what would you do? is a great question too, it’s not quite as interesting to me. Because ultimately what you do doesn’t matter as much as who you’re really here to be. So, who will you be in your relationship, in your work, in your play, when you’re breaking their rules, who will you be?... And we get a bit into this in episode 118 of Turn On the Podcast too.

13.01.2022 One of my passions and focus is working with women, where ever they are on their journey of fertility. I know the journey of falling pregnant for some women can be filled with challenges and from my 20 years of practice in this field I clearly see how Traditional Chinese Medicine fits in with this process. I love helping women prepare for pregnancy and when pregnant to support and maintain their health all the way through their pregnancy, then most importantly of all beyond c...hildbirth. Through my own journey of having had three pregnancies and births, I know how essential acupuncture and herbal support was. It helped by supporting me to maintain a healthy body and spirit to cope with all the changes that pregnancy and child birth gave me. I see this weekly in the clinic that when the body is balanced and the mind is calm then things fall into place and our health flourishes. If you have any thoughts and questions around this topic please reach out, as I'm only to happy to answer your inquires of how TCM could support you. Best, Tabitha Fennell

13.01.2022 In Traditional Chinese Medicine menopause is called the second Spring. This lets us know that there is a spring not a dry well, though the spring may vary from woman to woman depending on how she has used her resources, her Jing which is her vital substance that she was born with and her blood and Qi. All three resources can be supported and acupuncture and Chinese herbs may be your missing key to add balance to this sometimes interesting journey!! Enjoy exploring your second spring and find what it wants for you, I know I am Tabitha xx

08.01.2022 We live in a world of mania, of MORE, if we just push a little harder then well finally arrive. But we wont, because one day well die and we wont have achieved it all. So rather, in this moment, allow yourself to arrive, die to this moment and notice that everything is done. Yes, theres always more, therell always be more, but just for this moment theres nothing you need achieve.... And relax, and breathe.

08.01.2022 It seems like that time of the year is already here, everything feels a little high paced and the diary is booking up. So the best thing you can do is to take a restful attitude amongst the busy and enhance that energy we call Yin, within our daily lives. So Yin is all about nurturing and holding the peace within our heart, it's the energy of no rush allowing ease and grace to filtrate our lives. Now don't get me wrong Yin energy is not about doing nothing, if anything it's t...he energy that will get things done in a real no bothersome way, things just get done with a no stress attitude when your Yin leads. It's a certain intent that is needed to cultivate this Yin energy, to keep it working for us and we do this by sinking deep into that part of us that knows when we must pull back and rest. It's that part of us that knows when we are pushing and need to slow down. When we do this the Yin backs us and allows that Yang (adrenaline energy) to take a back seat, giving us energy that is more grounded and will last longer and not drain us. So breathe and stop every time you feel the rush and sink back into that nurturing you, centre then move forward in a more relaxed Yin way. Things will get done but your energy will remain. Try it out, and don't get hypnotized by the rush of this time of year. Best, Tabitha

03.01.2022 So since the weather has sprung into Spring we have been noticing lots of random body aches, sprains and sciatic pain in the clinic. These body symptoms have literally come out of nowhere, with no real explanation of why they have occurred. Well Chinese Medicine has the answer; you see through Winter the bodies Qi (chi) has gone deep into the organs and the muscles have slightly contracted, due to the cold. We haven't been sweating as much so even our pores have been less act...ive. You may have noticed if you work out or do that exercise thing that your body needs to warm up a bit longer before you feel agile and flexible. Even simple things like getting out of bed in the morning or out of a chair or the car, can make you feel that you are stiffer then you remember. Well this is your bodies response to Winter and now its waking up. So then along comes Spring with its flash of heat and wind then back to cold and our body keeps flipping from warm to cold. Our muscles expand and contract with this temperature change and as they try to adjust this is when we can crick our back or neck, ending up with these weird aches and strains from not really doing anything. What you can do; Move slowly, allow your body time to warm up, make time to stretch the muscles before you bounce out of bed, even bending or reaching for things needs to be slow as your muscles are still coming out of hibernation.. Drink at least 1.5 litres of water before 3pm, sipping helps the water stops to the toilet. Include a good supplement of magnesium to your day as this helps the muscles to relax plus add in foods that are high in Mg+ ; dark chocolate (it must be over 70% cocoa though), avocado, nuts, legumes and tofu to name a few. Start to increase your exercise cardio slowly giving the muscles time to wake up. Keep that jacket and scarf handy for when the weather changes and enclosed shoes help to keep the body warm plus these will all support your immune system. Here comes the heat so enjoy this last bit of cooler weather. Tabitha

03.01.2022 We live in a world of mania, of MORE, if we just push a little harder then we'll finally arrive. But we won't, because one day we'll die and we won't have achieved it all. So rather, in this moment, allow yourself to arrive, die to this moment and notice that everything is done. Yes, there's always more, there'll always be more, but just for this moment there's nothing you need achieve.... And relax, and breathe.

03.01.2022 We treat a lot of teachers and they so love the chill time that it gives them, time for calm and building energy. Best, Tabitha
