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.

We’re delighted to re-introduce Audrey, our gentle We’re delighted to re-introduce Audrey, our gentle yet deeply skilled Japanese acupuncturist at Eastern Therapies.

Audrey brings a calm, grounded presence to every session, drawing on her training in traditional Japanese acupuncture to support the body’s natural ability to heal. She has a special interest in muscular skeletal conditions, women’s health and injury recovery, working carefully with each person’s unique pattern of tension, pain and imbalance.

Her love of movement and dance gives her a deep appreciation for how the body feels in motion, and this insight is woven into the way she approaches treatment and rehabilitation. Outside the clinic, Audrey explores meditation and chi gong to cultivate balance and stillness, practices that subtly inform her gentle, attentive style of care.

A self-confessed foodie, sports fan and keen traveller, Audrey understands the demands of an active, modern lifestyle — and the importance of taking time to restore and realign. Her intention is to create a nurturing space where you can unwind, reconnect with your body and feel supported on your healing journey.

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”

Endometriosis is not just about hormones. It’s ab Endometriosis is not just about hormones.

It’s about what your body does…
with those hormones.

Think of estrogen like guests…
Your liver decides who stays…
how long they stay…
and when it’s time to leave.

In the liver, estrogen is transformed through methylation and prepared for removal so it can leave the body smoothly.

But when this process slows, what should leave can return.

And the body begins to speak through pain, bloating, and hormonal imbalance.

So we, at Eastern Therapies, don’t just chase symptoms.
We support the systems behind them.

Through acupuncture and nutrition we can regulate the liver.

Have you been focusing on your hormones instead of your liver?

Cici and I hanging out before our Sunday Pulse Cli Cici and I hanging out before our Sunday Pulse Clinic.

Your pulse is more than a heartbeat.

It can reflect your energy levels, stress load, circulation, digestion, and how well your body is adapting to everyday life. Tiny changes in rhythm, strength, and quality tell us a bigger story.

14 patients came in to have their pulses analysed — grateful for the trust and the conversations that come with every wrist we hold.

Our pulse system helps you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, so you can make clearer choices about rest, nutrition, and lifestyle.  The outcome depends on selecting the exact formula that restores balance. 
Where is the yang stuck?
Where is the yin constrained?
And how do we guide yang back to where it belongs?
Through the right formula, we restore the internal climate of your body.

Curious what your pulse might say about your body?

“We give so much to everyone else… but how often d “We give so much to everyone else… but how often do you give back to yourself?”

Sometimes the best reset doesn’t require a long holiday — just the right environment.

I took a quick trip to Swansea Heads to visit a friend who had just arrived from Germany. My work as an acupuncturist requires deep focus and presence all day, which I genuinely love… but intensity also needs balance.

For me, that balance is the ocean.

I arrived Monday night and was back home Tuesday morning, yet one swim in those calm waters and a quiet moment in nature made it feel like I had been away for a week.

In Chinese medicine we speak about the Qi of the environment.
Just as our bodies generate energy, we also absorb the energy of the places we spend time in.

Peaceful environments nourish us.
Natural spaces regulate our nervous system.
The ocean, the trees, the wind — they all shift our internal state.

Our bodies are more porous than we realise.

Sometimes the most powerful medicine is simply changing the environment you place yourself in.

What helps you reset and calm your system?

“34 and pregnant” doesn’t have to mean “in pain an “34 and pregnant” doesn’t have to mean “in pain and exhausted.”

This beautiful mama came in barely able to walk from sciatica. After just two acupuncture sessions, her sciatic pain eased dramatically — but pregnancy had more in store: carpal tunnel, hemorrhoids, fluid retention in her legs, and constant acid reflux.

In a single Eastern Therapies session, we tailored a gentle treatment to calm her nervous system, improve circulation, and relieve pressure in her wrists, hips, and digestive system. Our goal: help her feel as close to 100% as possible before she goes into labor, so she can focus on what matters most — meeting her baby.

Every pregnancy is unique, but you don’t have to suffer through it. Eastern medicine can offer safe, natural support for many common third-trimester symptoms.

I learnt to surf at 42. Your body can still change I learnt to surf at 42. Your body can still change too.

It’s not “too late.”
You’re not “too old.”
You’re not “stuck like this forever.”

With the right support, your health can shift:
less pain, better sleep, calmer mind, more energy.

That’s what we focus on at Eastern Therapies:
real strategies, expert guidance, and personalized care
so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If I can surf waves at 42, you can still rewrite your health story.

It is never too late to heal.
