YOGA and the NERVOUS SYSTEM Practicing gentle yog YOGA and the NERVOUS SYSTEM

Practicing gentle yoga before bed helps calm the nervous system, transitioning it from a Sympathetic Nervous System state of “fight/flight” to a Parasympathetic Nervous System State of “rest and digest”.

This helps to reduce heart rate, eases physical tension and signals to the body that it is “safe”.

Missing periods are more common than you think — a Missing periods are more common than you think — and more treatable than you've been told. 🩺

Amenorrhea (the absence of a period) can be caused by stress, undereating, over-exercising, hormonal imbalances, or underlying conditions — and your body is always trying to tell you something.

The good news? With the right support, most women get their cycle back.

Here's what we look at when treating amenorrhea: ✅ Root cause identification ✅ Hormonal panel + investigations ✅ Acupuncture & chinese medicine support ✅ Targeted treatment plan

Your period is a vital sign. If it's missing, don't ignore it. 🔴

💾 "Save this if you or someone you know has been struggling with a missing period."

Chaos at breakfast. Glow at sunset. 🇨🇳 Travelling Chaos at breakfast. Glow at sunset. 🇨🇳

Travelling with 3 kids and 6 adults is one of the most joyful, loud, beautiful, exhausting things you can do — and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. But even in the middle of the madness, I carved out time for myself (because a glowing woman is a happy woman 😌).

I stumbled upon the most elegant little wellness sanctuary in Zhongshan — natural products, essential oils, a divine massage and facial — and left with skin that was literally LUMINOUS. Ended the day with a quiet cup of tea and felt like a whole new woman.

Reminder: You can do it ALL and still choose YOU. 💛

What stayed with me most from this trip was not ju What stayed with me most from this trip was not just the mountains, the bullet train.

It was the food and precious time with the family.

I was so inspired by how naturally Chinese herbs and medicinal ingredients are woven into everyday cooking in China. Not in an overwhelming way. Just beautifully, intentionally, and as part of daily life.

From chrysanthemum leaf salad, to black chicken soup with goji berries, to coconut soup with white fungus, pearl barley and xing ren… every dish felt deeply nourishing in its own way.

There were mushrooms, lotus root, mountain yam, black fungus, probiotic-rich pickles, endless dumplings, coconut fish dessert, and chrysanthemum jelly — meals that felt wholesome, comforting, and full of wisdom passed down through generations.

This trip reminded me that in Chinese medicine, balance is often created through the small things we do every day — how we eat, how we rest, how we live, and how we nourish ourselves.

I left feeling deeply nourished by the food, the culture, and the time with my family.

Greek Easter is one of the most meaningful times i Greek Easter is one of the most meaningful times in our culture — a beautiful season of faith, fasting, feasting, and coming together with the people you love.

What I love most is that it is not only about the feast, but also about the fast that comes before it. That period of fasting brings intention, discipline, and reflection. It is so interesting to see how modern research is now exploring how fasting may support metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and heart health in some people — making these traditions feel even more meaningful.

This year, I dyed the red Easter eggs for the first time, and I absolutely loved it. They looked so beautiful and made the whole table feel even more special.

And of course… one of the best parts was the egg-cracking game.
Everyone chooses an egg and taps the end of their egg against someone else’s. If your egg stays uncracked, you move on. The last intact egg wins.

It sounds simple, but trust me — even the adults get very competitive. So much laughter, so much food, and such a beautiful way to celebrate tradition together.

How To Beat A Bad Night Sleep Here's what I do wh How To Beat A Bad Night Sleep

Here's what I do when I've had a terrible night sleep.
 
First, I don't force the gym. I normally go to the gym at 5.30 but if I've had a really bad sleep, I take an extra hour in bed and that extra sleep helps way more than dragging myself to a workout because I've got a full day of patients, right?

Second, I try to get a 20-minute reset during the day if I can. I mask on, short meditation and if I fall asleep for 20 minutes, it feels amazing.
 
Third, sunlight. You've got to step outside for about 10 minutes. Natural light helps reset your body clock and gives you a bit of energy.
 
And my Chinese medicine trick is if I've got a huge day ahead, I'll ask one of my practitioners to put a few acupuncture needles in my back and honestly, I feel like a new person afterwards.

Did you know your pulse can give incredibly precis Did you know your pulse can give incredibly precise insight into your body — from your energy levels and digestion… to your sleep quality and internal balance?

In Chinese medicine, the pulse isn’t just a rhythm — it’s a diagnostic language.

It guides everything.

Before prescribing herbs or acupuncture treatment plan, we don’t just look at symptoms.
We match what we feel in the pulse with what we see in the patient.

Because just like in Western medicine, there are multiple formulas for the same condition. But the outcome depends on choosing the right one for that exact moment in your body.

And that level of precision comes down to the pulse.

I’ve spent over 10 years refining this skill through the Tian pulse system — a method that requires ongoing calibration, sensitivity, and constant study.

We held a dedicated pulse clinic — 14 patients, each with a unique presentation, each pulse telling its own story.

Moments like this matter.

Because mastery isn’t static—it’s something we continue to refine.

Sici and I taking a moment before clinic began — grounded, focused, and ready to listen… not just to symptoms, but to the pulse itself.

Curious what your pulse might reveal about your health?
Book a consultation and experience it for yourself.

Meet Dr Sici, a warm and dedicated acupuncturist a Meet Dr Sici, a warm and dedicated acupuncturist and the 4th generation healer in her family. Raised in a lineage of traditional medicine, she carries forward a deep-rooted respect for the body’s natural ability to heal, blending inherited wisdom with modern practice.

For 9 years, she worked at Eastern Therapies, supporting patients through pain, stress, hormonal imbalances, and overall wellbeing. She has a particular passion for women’s health, with strong interests in treating PCOS, endometriosis, and menstrual cycle issues — creating a safe, supportive space where women feel truly heard and cared for.

Sici studied in Hong Kong for 6 years, giving her an international perspective and a rich appreciation for both traditional and contemporary approaches to Eastern medicine. Her treatments are thoughtful and personalized, aiming not just to relieve symptoms, but to help patients understand their bodies and feel empowered in their health choices.

Outside the clinic, she loves being active and outdoors — often found on a hike or on the badminton court. She’s recently fallen back in love with reading and is especially excited for Sarah Maas’s new books. A self-confessed food and coffee obsessive, she’s always exploring new cafés and restaurants, and is more than happy to share a recommendation along with your treatment.

HUGGING FOR NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT One of the way HUGGING FOR NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT

One of the ways we can help support our nervous system is to hug a loved one when we are feeling stressed and anxious.

Hugging reduces Cortisol levels in the body and also increases Oxytocin, otherwise known as “the love drug”, helping to strengthen bonds and connections and also helps to reduce stress levels in the muscles.

Cold plunges aren’t always right for women… so I o Cold plunges aren’t always right for women… so I only stayed in for 60 seconds.

Over the December holidays, I visited a wellness space in Melbourne… and it felt like stepping into a completely different pace.

I started with the cold plunge — something everyone’s talking about right now.�But after learning from Dr Stacy Sims, I approached it differently… just 60 seconds, and out.

Then into the infrared sauna… and almost instantly, I could feel my body start to soften.�The circadian lighting was subtle, but powerful — it relaxed my eyes and signalled my whole system to slow down.

I tried the hyperbaric chamber for the first time… and this surprised me.�I was calm, but incredibly focused — I even got some work done inside.

But the real shift happened in the breathwork and meditation room…�That’s where everything dropped. Slower breath, quieter mind, deeper reset.

And before I left, I finished with LED light therapy — because for me, recovery also includes taking care of the skin.

It reminded me… wellness isn’t about doing everything.�It’s about choosing what’s right for your body — and not following trends.

Nervous system support. If you’re feeling really Nervous system support.

If you’re feeling really stressed and panicking, why not place something cold onto your neck, like a packet of frozen peas?

This exposure to cold will help support the nervous system by stimulating the Vagus nerve and activating the Parasympathetic nervous system state of “rest and digest”
