šŸŽ“ A little bit of news from me…

I’m heading back to university — this time to Imperial College London . I am very pleased to join the number one university in the UK (QS) and one of the world leading universities.

Just nine months after finishing my postgraduate degree in Higher Education, I’m putting myself back in the student seat again! šŸ˜‚

For me, learning has always been part of being a good practitioner. There is always more to understand, more evidence to explore and new perspectives that can shape the way we think about health and healthcare.

I’m really excited about this next chapter and about bringing what I learn back into my work.

And for all my patients: the clinic continues as usual. Your appointments and care remain my priority. ā¤ļø

Here’s to the next chapter -learning more about how we can help create a future where everyone has the opportunity to live healthier, fuller lives and access quality healthcare. šŸŒāœØ

You’re trying to recover from a year’s worth of stress in seven days.

Don’t get me wrong—I love a holiday. We all need one.

But if your wellbeing depends entirely on one week away every six months, you’re asking your body to do something impossible.

Real recovery doesn’t happen once or twice a year.

It happens in the small things you do consistently:

• Getting enough sleep.
• Taking proper breaks.
• Moving your body.
• Spending time outdoors.
• Setting boundaries.
• Giving your nervous system regular opportunities to switch off.

A holiday is a wonderful reset.

It’s just not a treatment plan.

How many of us have said, ā€œI just need to get to my holidayā€¦ā€? šŸ™‹ā€ā™€ļøā¬‡ļø

One of the things I love about Chinese medicine is that some of its most enduring advice is also its simplest.

Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with patients about supplements, routines, wellness trends and the latest health hacks.

Yet many of the traditional recommendations have remained remarkably unchanged.

Rest when you’re tired.

Eat warm, nourishing food.

Move your body.

Spend time in nature.

And yes, keep your feet warm.

Not just in winter, but throughout the year.

Sometimes we assume that good health must be complicated. Chinese medicine often reminds us that the foundations are usually much more ordinary than that.

The challenge is not knowing what to do.

It’s remembering to do it šŸ¤

Shenmen (ē„žé–€)-ā€œSpirit Gateā€

One of the ear points I use most often in practice.

Traditionally used to calm the mind and settle the spirit, Shenmen is often included as part of treatments that support nervous system regulation, relaxation, emotional balance, and sleep.

In Chinese medicine, it is considered one of the most important points for supporting emotional and mental well-being.

Small point. Big fan šŸ¤

A fantastic weekend at the conference, bringing together colleagues, educators, researchers, students, graduates, and leaders from across the profession.

It was a privilege to spend time with so many talented people, from experienced practitioners and professional leaders to students taking their first steps into the profession.

One of the highlights for me was seeing students and graduates presenting their work, sharing their ideas, and celebrating their achievements. As an educator, those moments are always particularly rewarding.

Thank you to everyone involved in organising such an inspiring event and to all those who contributed their knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm throughout the weekend.

The future of our profession is in very good hands šŸ¤

This usually gets a laugh.

Then a long silence.

Because many of the people I work with are already incredibly resilient.

They keep going when they’re exhausted.
They take on more responsibility.
They carry the workload of multiple people.
They push through.

At some point, the question stops being:

ā€œHow do I become more resilient?ā€

And becomes:

ā€œIs what I’m asking of myself actually reasonable?ā€ šŸ¤

Summer is often associated with feeling lighter, happier, more energised.

But not everybody experiences it that way.

For some people, summer feels overstimulating…longer days, more plans, more noise, more social energy, more to process.

One of the things Chinese medicine recognises is that seasons affect people differently.

Sometimes supporting yourself during highly active seasons looks less like doing more, and more like creating moments where your system can properly settle.

That might mean choosing a quieter summer evening sometimes, a slower morning, less stimulation, or letting yourself rest instead of always feeling pressure to go out and keep upšŸ¤

I’m not sure we were designed to spend all of our time away from stillness, seasons, and slower places.

Perhaps one reason quieter spaces feel supportive is because they ask a little less from us.

Where do you go when you need a little more quiet? šŸ¤

A few reflections from recent patients.

Working in this way isn’t always dramatic or immediate, but over time it can shift things that have felt stuck for a long while.

From women’s health to pain, to mental and emotional health, much of the work is about supporting the nervous system and allowing the body to regulate more effectively.

It’s a quiet process, but often a meaningful one.

Thank you to my patients who have trusted the process šŸ¤
