You glance at the clock… 1:47am. Again. Or maybe it’s 3:15am, every night without fail.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a concept known as the Body Clock. It describes a 24-hour cycle where each organ system has a two-hour period of peak activity. While it is not a diagnosis on its own, the time we consistently wake can be an interesting clue when considered alongside the bigger picture of our health, stress levels, emotions, and lifestyle.
Read MoreI’ve always loved winter.
There’s something about the permission it brings — to go inward, to slow down, to not feel like you have to be out and about doing anything at all. That delicious feeling of being rugged up, cosy and snuggly inside with a warm drink in your hands. Read On…
Read MoreIt is fair to say that most of us have dated someone emotionally unavailable or immature. These experiences can leave us feeling dejected and fatigued, making us think there isn’t much hope in finding someone with whom we can form a meaningful connection. As a gay therapist in Melbourne, I assist LGBTQIA+ individuals in recognising signs of emotional maturity while dating, allowing them to identify more quickly when someone may not be right for them.

Read MoreJune begins with a shift in our thinking as Mercury exits its home sign of chatty Gemini and enters the nurturing waters of Cancer, bringing a more emotionally introspective tone in our communication with ourselves and others. Mercury in Cancer takes on the intuitive, non-verbal impressions we feel and translates it into words which may feel less readily available. What would it be like to risk saying what you would normally swallow because you deemed your needs too trivial to be met? …Read On
Read MoreYou’ve had the same vision in your heart for years. The same desire resurfacing every January. You begin with clarity and commitment and somewhere along the way, momentum fades.
By the end of the year, the same question returns:
“How did I let another year pass without becoming who I said I would be?”
This is not about shame. It’s about precision.
Because what keeps you stuck is rarely laziness or lack of ambition. More often, it’s a mis-sequencing of change, nervous system strain, and unclaimed authorship.
Read MoreHolistic counselling offers an opportunity to bring anything that is causing you distress to the table to be addressed and shifted.
Consider your life right now.
• Is there contentment? Where do you find that? In your relationships? At home? At work? At play?
• Is there contentment in your mind? When you go to your thoughts do you find them kind and accepting?
• Are you content with the amount of stress in your life? Does it serve you – helping you to achieve your goals?
• Are your emotions balanced – an array of the dark and the light – giving you a sense of the spectrum of human experience? Is everything in its right place?
• Is there anything about your experience of life that you’d like to be different? Read on…
Read More“ THE ETERNAL “
Om ( AUM ) is a sacred Hindu symbol that represents what is considered to be the Universe’s primordial energy. It is an elemental vibration that is composed of three syllabic sounds:
a-u-m.
“ahh” & “oooo” & “mmm”
In Sanskrit the A & U vowels combine to become “O”…. hence, Om.

Read MoreAutumn is my favourite time of year.
As the air cools and the leaves begin to fall, nature shifts into a quieter, more inward rhythm. There is something powerful in the way the trees let go without force, reminding us that release can be natural and timely.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn is linked to the Metal element, a season of clarity, refinement, and letting go. Emotions may rise, not to be held, but to be acknowledged and softened. Like the trees drawing nutrients inward, we are invited to keep what nourishes us and release what no longer serves.
This shift can be felt in the body too, often as tightness or holding. Gentle practices like yoga and conscious breathing support softening, helping the body and nervous system settle.
Autumn invites us to slow down, ground, and create space. It is not a season of loss, but one of quiet transformation, where what remains feels clear, steady, and true… Read On
Read MoreOne of the most fascinating aspects of human physiology is how closely the immune system, gut and hormones are interconnected.
While histamine is often associated with allergies, it actually plays a much broader role within the body — acting as a chemical messenger involved in immune responses, digestion and inflammation.
Read MoreApril starts off with a Full Moon in Libra ruled by Venus in Taurus on April 2nd. This full moon in Libra may reveal where we feel a pull to negotiate relational agreements that feel out of balance. Libra is interested in what is fair for all, a continual dance of balancing the scales… Read On
Read MoreWe cannot change what has happened in the past. We cannot change what was said or unsaid, done or undone, felt or not felt and sometimes we don’t always understand the effect our experiences have on us. Sometimes we know what the effect is but can’t find the solution or even give the feelings and experiences accurate language.
Read MoreAs you approach the final weeks of pregnancy, it’s natural to start thinking about labour and how it will unfold, how your body will cope, and what you can do to prepare. Labour preparation acupuncture focuses on supporting your body in the lead-up to birth…
Read MoreAfter a big month in February with the historical conjunction of Saturn-Neptune at 0° Aries, the erosion of a known future and bringing form to a new dream, we enter March 2026 in the midst of Pisces and eclipse season, with Mercury already retrograde in Pisces, revisiting unresolved stories requesting a revisit and re-working….
Read MoreThe start of a new year often brings a quiet sense of reset. A chance to pause, reflect, and gently look ahead.
For many people on a fertility journey, this time can feel layered, hopeful, heavy, and full of unanswered questions all at once.
A little preparation can make a big difference:
Packing simple, nourishing snacks for long travel days
Bringing an essentials homeopathic kit so you’re supported wherever you are
Organising supplements that help your digestion, sleep and immune system
Staying hydrated and listening to your body’s rhythm
These small steps help you feel your best — so you can fully enjoy your
well-deserved holiday.
Read MoreEvery spring, I see a wave of patients struggling with hay fever; the itchy eyes, blocked nose, and tiredness that make the season feel flat instead of fresh.
Read MoreYoni massage is a sacred practice with ancient roots in India and China, designed to support women in releasing stored emotion, trauma, numbness or tension in the pelvic space. It’s not goal-driven or sexual, but a gentle and healing way to reconnect with your pleasure, power and feminine energy. In this blog, I share what yoni massage is, the benefits it can bring across body, mind and spirit, and what you can expect from a therapeutic session.
Read MoreAs winter settles in, it’s time to slow down, nourish deeply, and support the systems that keep us well. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is linked to the Kidneys—the source of our vitality—and the Lungs, our first line of defence against illness.
Here are a few simple ways to stay well this season:

The masculine energy, characterised by qualities such as strength, assertiveness, and logic, and the feminine energy, embodying intuition, nurturing, and empathy, both play crucial roles in our well-being….Read on
