I can’t wait to weave skin health into my treatments when I return to clinic and support women through all the seasons of life—from postpartum to perimenopause and beyond—with a little extra glow along the way. ✨

Happy SPRING

Meridians- liver and gallbladder (inner thighs, pelvis and side body)

Flavour- sour

Element - wood

This is the beginning of the cycle, the time to create, take a leap of faith, play, dance and bloom into your most unique and authentic self.

Spring represents youthfulness, fertility, new beginnings and inspiration.

This is a powerful energy, so keep it moving with your favourite forms of exercise, some spontaneity, and creative expression.

“During spring, walk leisurely, let your hair hang loose, and enjoy the season with a relaxed and unrestrained spirit.”
Huangdi Neijing

夜卧早起，广步于庭，被发缓形，以使志生。

All my facial needling supplies have arrived and I absolutely loved this session I gave myself ✨

I combined facial cupping + cosmetic acupuncture, bringing together traditional TCM principles with modern facial and skin-focused techniques.

FACE CUPPING |
✨ Promotes circulation — gentle suction encourages local blood flow, supporting a fresh, healthy glow.
✨ Lymphatic drainage — helps move fluid and reduce facial puffiness and congestion.
✨ Releases tension — gentle gliding techniques can relax tight facial muscles, particularly around the jaw, forehead and brow.

FACIAL NEEDLING
✨ Stimulates the skin — controlled micro-injury activates the skin’s natural repair response and can support collagen and elastin production.
✨ Supports circulation & nourishment — increased local blood flow may support skin vitality and regeneration.
✨ TCM perspective — facial acupuncture works with the meridian system to promote the movement of Qi and Blood, and uses face mapping to personalise treatments.

A beautiful treatment that sits at the intersection of TCM, nervous-system regulation and modern skin science with my little bundle 🤍

Is it hunger, pms, fatigue, poor sleep, tension headache, brain fog, muscle weakness, forgetfulness, sugar carvings…. Or just dehydration?

How, when and what we eat and drink make a big difference on our hydration down to a cellular level.
