There’s a piece of this puzzle that rarely gets mentioned.
In Chinese Medicine, the Liver and Spleen aren’t separate systems. They’re in constant conversation. We know that stress affects the Liver. What people don’t know is the the Liver is only ever as settled as the Spleen allows it to be.
The Spleen’s job is to turn what you eat into Blood. That Blood is what keeps the Liver calm and steady. So, when meals get skipped, when digestion is running on the bare minimum, when you’re pushing through the day without real fuel: less blood gets made, and the Liver is left running on empty too.
An under-resourced Liver doesn’t settle. It gets edgy. Reactive. It’s why you can feel utterly worn out and still lie there wide awake. Exhausted, but switched on. Patience gone, with nothing left in reserve.
It isn’t that you’re under too much stress.
It’s that there isn’t enough fuel underneath it.
No amount of relaxing fixes an empty tank.
Which is why we don’t start with calm. We start with the Earth — with digestion — first.
A few ways to do that:
• Start the day warm. A cooked breakfast — porridge, eggs, congee — does more for digestion than anything raw or cold first thing. The Spleen prefers warmth; give it an easy start.
• Hold off on coffee until you’ve eaten. Coffee on an empty stomach asks the Spleen to work before it’s had any fuel to work with. Eat first, then caffeinate.
• Go easy on cold food and drinks, especially in the morning and especially with meals. Ice, smoothies, and cold water straight from the fridge all make digestion work harder for the same result.
• Eat regularly, even when you’re busy. Skipped meals are exactly where this pattern starts.
And yes, Acupuncture belongs on this list too. It’s one of the most direct ways to support Spleen and Liver function together, which is exactly why it’s so often part of the plan when someone comes in wired, tired, and running on fumes.

💐🌞 The best time to treat hay fever is before you have any symptoms at all. 🌞💐
Spring is coming… and that often means hayfever for a lot of people!
Here’s what most don’t realise. In Chinese Medicine, allergic response isn’t just about the pollen in the air. It’s about how well your immune system, your Lung Qi, and your nervous system are functioning going into the season. If they’re already under strain from stress, poor sleep, or a body that’s been running on empty, spring symptoms tend to hit harder and last longer.
The best time to treat hay fever isn’t when you’re mid-sneeze. It’s now, before the season starts.
If you get hayfever every year and you’re tired of just managing it with antihistamines, let’s get ahead of it this time. Book in so we can prepare your body before spring arrives.

I get asked about this one a lot, so let’s break it down simply.
NET stands for Neuro Emotional Technique, and it’s one of the things that makes the way I work a bit different.
Basically, our bodies hold onto stress. Not just physically, but emotionally too. Sometimes an old stress response gets “stuck,” and it can show up later as pain, anxiety, or just a general feeling of being stuck yourself.
In a session, we start by talking through what’s been going on. Then I use muscle testing to help find where that stress is sitting. From there, we work through a gentle process: using acupuncture points, the spine, and the breath, to help your body actually release it.
It’s not woo-woo, and it’s not a replacement for the acupuncture itself; it works alongside it. It’s just another way of saying: the tension in your body has a story, and I’m trained to listen to more than one part of it.
Curious whether this could help you? Send me a message.

It’s been a big week for this mumma. My eldest started school for the first time. I thought I was okay and ready for it. But woah, those emotions rose up and hit me big yesterday. 🥹
So I turned to one of my tools in clinic.
Neuro Emotional Technique. It helps our body process those hidden or unconscious emotions that we didn’t even know we had… or have suppressed. 🫣
A little dose of the homeopathic remedy and I was feeling a lot more calmer.
If you’re curious to know more about NET, please reach out or you can book a session through the link in my bio.
To all the other Mumma’s and parents navigating their little ones starting (or returning to) school. I see you! 🫶🏻🤍

What is Neuro Emotional Technique?
NET is a powerful mind-body approach that helps identify and release emotional blockages.
By addressing the emotional roots of stress, NET promotes healing and wellbeing.

Perimenopause: your hormones are changing
It’s a shifting hormonal landscape where estrogen is no longer predictable, progesterone is gradually declining, and your nervous system is adjusting to those changes in real time.
When progesterone drops, its calming influence on the brain also reduces. This can show up as increased anxiety, irritability, restlessness, and disrupted sleep. It’s not a character change, but a neurochemical shift.
At the same time, fluctuating estrogen can influence mood regulation, cognition, and stress resilience, which is why many women notice they feel different from month to month, or even week to week.
There’s also a lesser-known layer: histamine.
Estrogen and histamine interact closely in the body. When estrogen rises or falls unpredictably, histamine activity can also increase. For some women, this contributes to symptoms like anxiety, palpitations, skin changes, headaches, or a general sense of being “on edge.”
If the body’s ability to break down histamine is already compromised, whether through gut health, nutrient status, or enzyme function; those symptoms can feel amplified.
This is why perimenopause doesn’t look the same for everyone.
Your experience is shaped by your overall internal environment, including:
* Liver detoxification capacity
* Gut microbiome balance
* Histamine load and breakdown pathways
* Cortisol rhythm and stress physiology
* Thyroid function
* Nutrient reserves
There is always a physiological reason for what you’re experiencing. And for many women, it’s not just about hormone levels — it’s about how well the whole system is adapting.
This is where individualised support matters.
Because the same symptoms can come from very different underlying patterns, and the order in which you address them can change everything.
Understanding your unique picture is the starting point.

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is Now Available!
NET is an evidence informed mind body approach designed to help identify and release unresolved emotional stress patterns stored within the body.
NET works on the understanding that we don’t just experience stress, we store it.
Past experiences, emotional stress and ongoing nervous system overload can create patterns within the body that may continue to influence both emotional and physical wellbeing long after the original event has passed.
NET combines principles of:
• Neuroscience
• Traditional Chinese Medicine
• Mind body awareness
• Nervous system regulation
Using gentle muscle testing and mind body techniques, NET helps connect physical symptoms and nervous system responses with unresolved emotional stress patterns. Allowing the body to safely process and release them.
There is no need to relive trauma or deeply verbalise difficult experiences.
Your body does the work, gently and at its own pace.
Ready to experience the transformative power of NET?
