A 36-year-old woman came to see me after trying to conceive for one year. She had experienced one miscarriage, followed by two D&C procedures. Background Before the miscarriage, her menstrual cycle was: • 4–5 days of heavy bleeding • Noticeable clots • Mild cramping After the miscarriage and D&C procedures, her periods changed significantly: • Only 2–3 days of very light bleeding • No need to change pads for a whole day • Dark-coloured blood • Minimal clots • Similar cramping

Age: 32 This patient came to see me while preparing for her 3rd IVF cycle 💛 She had been diagnosed with PCOS for over 12 years, with elevated testosterone levels and ongoing weight fluctuations. After losing weight, her cycles became more regular (28–30 days), but her period blood remained dark with small clots — a sign of underlying Blood stagnation from a TCM perspective. Her scans showed normal tubes and womb structure. However, she had already experienced a failed frozen

Today I completed the fourth session with a 57-year-old lady who has been suffering from a herniated lumbar disc and had been unable to walk since April last year. When we first met a few weeks ago, she had multiple lumbar disc bulges at L2/3, L3/4, L4/5 and L5/S1 with moderate spinal canal stenosis. She was in significant pain, completely home-bound, and unable to stand or walk independently. Despite hospital-prescribed medication and regular physiotherapy visits, there had

🌿 Why TCM Looks at Fertility Differently Many women are told, “Your tests are normal — we can’t find a reason.” Yet you’re still not conceiving. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fertility is not just about hormones, ovaries, or scans. It’s about the whole body working in balance . To conceive well, your body needs: • strong Qi and Blood • a warm, well-circulated uterus • good digestion and nutrition • balanced hormones • quality sleep • low stress and emotional calm When the

A real case from my clinic. Fertility success stories like this always remind me why I love the work I do. A 30-year-old lady came to see me after trying to conceive for almost 2 years. Month after month, nothing happened. She felt frustrated and starting to lose confidence in her body. Although her medical tests were mostly “normal”, she was experiencing many symptoms: • cold hands and feet • painful menstrual cramps • post-ovulation spotting • low energy and fatigue • feeli

This is another successful and encouraging case in my clinic. At age 40, this patient came to me with a mixture of hope and emotional exhaustion 💛 She already had one healthy daughter from a previous natural pregnancy. However, after her first child, she had been trying to conceive again for several years without success. During that time, she experienced three heartbreaking miscarriages. Although her medical tests showed no clear abnormalities, she felt her body was “not st

Today I want to share an interesting observation from a recent session (anonymized for privacy). A lady came in with depressive mood, chest discomfort, and liver qi stagnation —a common pattern where emotional stress gets “stuck” in the chest 💭💔. While needling H7 (Shenmen)  and PC6 (Neiguan)  on her right side, I noticed the needles moving in a flowing, swaying motion , like a river 🌊, rather than the usual pulsing. PC6 also moved slightly, but only on the right side. In

I currently have three clients undergoing embryo transfer this week and one from last week — 🤞 wishing them all a smooth and successful IVF journey. One of my clients has been with me for a few months. I’m delighted that she has developed a healthy endometrial lining and a good number of dominant follicles before her egg collection. I’m truly excited to hear her good news soon. 💛 How Can Acupuncture Support IVF? 🌸 Acupuncture can play a vital role in supporting your IVF jo

A client in her early 40s consulted me a few months ago with symptoms including heavy menstrual bleeding, persistent fatigue, and noticeable hair loss . These issues had begun to affect her daily life, energy levels, and overall motivation. Upon assessment, including pulse diagnosis and tongue observation, it became apparent that she exhibited signs of Kidney deficiency  — a common pattern in women over 40. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the Kidneys play a central rol

Gentle, Holistic Support to Nurture Your Fertility and Restore Balance ===================================================================== When you’ve been trying for a baby and it hasn’t happened yet, it can feel frustrating, lonely, and out of your control. You deserve support that sees the whole picture — your body, your emotions, and your journey. Understanding Your Fertility Journey You’ve likely tried to do everything right — eating well, tracking cycles, managing str

Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that helps to move our body’s energy (Qi) and blood. By inserting fine needles into specific acupuncture points, it sends gentle signals to the organs and nervous system to regulate and restore their natural functions.  Many of my clients describe sensations of Qi movement — such as mild soreness, tingling, or warmth — when the needles are inserted. It’s always an amazing experience to witness how the body responds and begins its healing

A true story 💫 A lady came to me in tears, feeling chest tightness, poor sleep, and deep overwhelming sadness. All I did was help release the stagnant qi  — the heavy, trapped energy that had been building up for years and burdening her liver and body. Releasing negative energy is never a one-off treatment. It takes a series of gentle, continuous sessions to gradually clear and rebalance the body. Each week, I carefully adjusted her acupuncture points to match her changing c
