Wild Heart Acupuncture

Wild Heart Acupuncture turns ONE. 🎂

A year ago, Wild Heart Acupuncture was one part practice, one part giant leap of faith. And to everyone who booked that very first appointment and took a chance on the new person with the needles, thank you. That trust started everything.

It’s been hard. Genuinely. High highs, low lows, and everything in between. Running a small business is a different kind of hard than I expected. So many lessons, so many extra hours spent reading, studying, researching, just to try and show up as the best version of me for you. And if I’m being honest… I still haven’t mastered the admin side. 🤭 One day.

Some of my favourite moments this year had nothing to do with needles at all. Like the instrumental playlist that was a total hit, until someone got a little too invested trying to work out what song was actually playing. 😂

To the ones who’ve been here since day one, and to the ones who only found me in the last month. You’re equally part of this story. To everyone who referred a friend or family member, gave out business cards, or took the time to leave a 5-star Google review. That support carries more than you know.

Healing rarely happens in one session, and I’m so grateful to the patients who trusted the process, kept showing up, and let me be part of their care. Truly, you are the reason this practice is still here, a year on.

A huge thank you to my Chiro Collab team, who have been a constant support and cheer squad behind the scenes. And to my mentors and fellow acu friends — the ones I can call when I need case review call, to celebrate a win, or just need a pep talk. You know who you are. Thank you for being in my corner.

To my partner and my kids. Thank you for your unwavering support. Balancing kids, work and life this year has been its own journey, and I couldn’t have done any of it without you. 🥰

Here’s to year one, and look forward to year two. 🤍

Someone’s peace. My purpose 🫶🏻

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.
