I’m going confess… I haven’t always been a lover of congee. Perhaps, because I was cooking it out of obligation, rather than love. That changed this year, studying with Andrew Sterman. His love and knowledge of food as medicine is rather inspiring.

White rice is a herb in Chinese Medicine. It’s harmonising for the Eartb element (Spleen & Stomach). It’s naturally sweet. The stock in this recipe is clear and delicate and is slowly absorbed by the rice during cooking, making it easy to digest. This is considered “Wet Food”, ideal for staying hydrated and nourished.

Lime and vinegar, with spring greens keep the dish vibrant and light. Supporting the energy of Spring and the wood element (to move up and out - like a tree).

I’ll be sharing more info on Yang Sheng in the coming weeks… if there are any topics you would like more knowledge on, please DM me.

Are you feeling the gentle upward movement of springs expansive energy or frustrated and stuck (is your Liver Qi stuck)?

Sending LOVE

I’m taking a break… not forever, just to rest!
The year of the fire horse has been INTENSE.
Time for a little R&R so I can come back ready for the lead up to the holiday period.

I’m giving lots of notice to plan your appointments ahead of time.

Also looking for fabulous books to lose myself in during this time… what are your fav holiday book recommendations?!

Sending LOVE,
Melanie x

The medicine introduced us all long before we met.

Last night, after six months of study online, I finally got to meet my teachers, classmates & previous graduates of Ann Cecil Sterman’s Classical Acupuncture Mentorship.

This medicine brings together the most extraordinary, generous, caring & kind humans. And the network extends around the globe.

I can’t wait to meet more of the community in the future.

According to the Dao when we move in harmony with nature the right people appear at exactly the right time… that’s alignment.

Sending LOVE
Melanie ❤️

Dietary therapy is one of the pillars of Chinese Medicine. Food isn’t just fuel; it’s one of the ways we nourish & care for ourselves every day.

Black sesame has been used in Chinese Medicine for centuries to nourish the Kidneys, support Kidney Essence and Blood, & is traditionally associated with healthy hair, vitality, & healthy ageing. It’s also naturally rich in healthy fats & minerals, including copper, iron, & zinc, making it a beautiful whole food to include as part of a balanced diet.

I keep seeing Black sesame paste online for hair growth & to prevent grey hair, & I had to make my own. Next time, I might add some goji berries or white sesame seeds.

One Ball a day is recommended for about 6 months. Good things cannot be rushed.

Is this something you would try?

Radiance isn’t something we apply. It’s something we cultivate.

Cosmetic Acupuncture is real Chinese Medicine! It’s not a trend. It’s looks deep into the individual. If you’re new to Chinese Medicine or Cosmetic Acupuncture here are some of the elements we look at when assessing your skin.

The Dao is often translated as “The Way”

Yet the true Way cannot be fully named.
It is real, yet not fixed.
Felt more than explained.

This is the way of Classical healing.

There is no universal formula for illness because no two people experience life, or healing, in the same way. The individual is treated according to their symptoms, lifestyle, lived experience, spirit, heart, & soul.

Healing is not about forcing the body into a formula.
It’s about listening deeply enough to understand what this person, in this moment, truly needs.

In a world seeking certainty, labels & quick fixes, this approach can seem unfamiliar.

But the Dao was never rigid.
And perhaps healing way never meant to be either.

The face I make when I hear women over 40 shouldn’t be on social media.

One of the best things about getting older is realising that whoever made up these “rules” doesn’t matter. We get to make our own.

As a woman embracing this next chapter, I love supporting others through it.

5 things I’ll keep sharing about perimenopause:
•Perimenopause is a transition, not a pathology.
•Resistance to change often has more impact on symptoms than hormone levels alone.
•Symptoms are signs of a pattern, not failure.
•Nourishment beats restriction. Your body needs fuel and stability, not another cleanse or cycle of depletion.
•Pleasure and intimacy do not disappear here; they evolve.

Here’s to doing it differently ❤️

Health spaces should be grounded in safety, professionalism, & mutual respect. Practitioners deserve to work without being objectified, intimidated, or harassed. This conversation matters because protecting professional boundaries protects both parties, & helps preserve the integrity of care.

The city has its own rhythm.

In the early morning, the energy is calm,
The streets feel more open,
And everything moves with less resistance.

The day holds all possibility.

This is where we begin…
