Yesterday I had a lovely catch up with a friend; we enjoyed cake and hot chocolate and a really good laugh. Today I did a work out at the gym. Both of these things are good things. I don’t believe in the idea of “being naughty” because I enjoyed some cake (carrot cake with the cream cheese icing, I love it!). I also don’t believe I need to go to the gym to make up for it. I go to the gym because I want to feel strong in my body and be able to enjoy an active life with my family for as long as possible. I fully intend to be a strong, disruptive old lady causing havoc 🤣. I eat cake because it tastes good and it’s fun to do with a friend. It’s all about balance. Squeezing pleasure out of life. Looking after yourself not because you “should” or because you think you should look a certain way. It’s about “nourishing life”.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine there is the concept of “yangsheng”, about how small daily actions nourish our sense of vitality. So pleasure and company, good nourishing food eaten with the seasons, movement and some exertion, rest and working on deep inner peace. Taking time to feel and acknowledge our emotions but not sitting too long in any one of them. But crucially not too much of any one thing. Not cake every day. Not lying around not moving for hours or days on end. Not exercising so hard and so often it damages us. Balance.

So often in my acupuncture clinic what I’m actually treating are things that have gotten out of balance. The muscle that’s so tight it’s forgotten how to let go, even though when it tightened up to protect you from hurting yourself it was doing a good thing. The tension headache that developed because you cared and worried so much for someone else but your body got stuck in stress that it can’t let go. The back ache that came on after months or years of quite literally carrying things that were too much for you in life and is trying to stop you before it’s too late.

We can all take small steps to bring balance back in to our lives. It’s not just something nice to do it’s essential for a vital life.

Good afternoon one and all! Just jumping in here to say hello and let you know I have just one new patient acupuncture appointment left this week on Thursday 8th October at 3:30pm. Book yourself in online (link in the comments) if you’d like it!

Photo of me for those new followers who’ve never met me! Lovely to have you all here! For anyone else, I’d be ever so grateful if you’d share this page and ask friends in the Wisbech area to follow my page! I’m not far off 1000 followers which apparently means once I get there, the Facebook gods show my page to more people! Thanks!

Now this is relaxation perfected! The power of my garden clinic is that even just lying down outside it a perfect state of zen is achieved 😹. I don’t dare open the clinic door as I don’t want to disturb him! Take a leaf out of my cat’s book and prioritise deep relaxation and nervous system regulation. Book yourself an acupuncture appointment today!

Impressive results huh? It’s so incredibly satisfying to work with patients to reduce their pain levels. A big win for me this week was a gentleman who has been off work for 3 months with back pain. After two treatments he had booked his return to work…

“NIH "BackInAction" Trial: A massive, National Institutes of Health-funded clinical trial evaluated 800 older adults with chronic low back pain. The results showed that a course of manual acupuncture provided sustained improvements in physical function, reduced pain intensity, and lowered pain-related anxiety at both the 6-month and 12-month marks compared to usual medical care alone.”

What a wonderful time I had yesterday wearing my health coach hat talking all things menopause and how to use this time in our lives to ensure we set ourselves up for a healthy old age. I also invited a PT along to help break down the fears that anyone is too late to start to get strong. I can’t thank Alison or Fascinating Food enough for her wonderful menu of delicious nutritious food!

I’ll just leave this statement here regarding the highly biased, stigmatising, irresponsible and frankly grossly inaccurate Channel 4 documentary on ADHD the other night.

I am so happy right now it’s untrue!! Finally, after years of work from our regulatory body, the restrictions on blood donation after acupuncture from a professional such as myself are being lifted. After 11th August 2026 national guidance will change and then each area will decide when to implement the change. So check with your local blood donation provider when the changes kick in for them. Then there will be no more 4 month wait from your last treatment! I’ve put a link in the comments so you can read the details.
