And just like that... only five years after starting a three year Masters program (Lord. I did have a kid and relocate internationally, twice, in that time. Not that I need to justify taking 'longer'. I just, you know, wanted to)... Anyway, I finished. All done! Well....
Herbal Dispensary!
I am SO excited with the arrival of my new herbal medicine dispensary in the clinic! Just LOOK at my face: can't stop smiling! Since the start of the year, I've been referring out for herbal tonics, which has been fine... but it is so much nicer to be able to make...
Refresh and Reset
Throughout September and October, we are running a Spring Cleanse program at the clinic, to help our patients transition out of the 'hibernation' period of Winter and into the warm sunshine of Spring! During the colder months, many of us can relate to feelings of...
Drink. Up.
*yawn* I'm doing it again. Hustling people to drink more water. But seriously though, are you drinking enough? When you don't drink enough, you will become dehydrated. Seems obvious, right? But did you know that EVERY system in your body depends on water. It is vital....

China calling
I am deep in acupuncture study at the moment, as I'm about to head to RMIT for mid-year exams, then almost immediately off to Guangzhou for an internship at a TCM* hospital. Am excited! Am bamboozled. But, I'll get there! Integrating all this new information into my...
Pyrmont drop-in baby clinic
Have a baby? Based in the inner city / inner west? This news is for you: we've started a free drop-in baby clinic in Pyrmont. There are very few of these in this part of Sydney, so we (me / MamaCare / ChiroHQ) wanted to offer this service for our local mums, dads and...
Could you use a naturopath?
A lot of people I talk to have no idea what I do, or how it might be relevant to their life and health. They aren't sure what naturopathy is and/or why they would see someone like me. That's fair enough. If you haven't experienced it before, holistic medicine can seem...
