Qing’s last working day at Geelong Chinese Medicine is Monday the 14th of September. She’s stepping back to focus on her own work-life balance, something we recommend to our patients often, and we’re glad to see her living it herself.
She’s been part of our team since September 2024, treating patients across musculoskeletal pain, mental health, hay fever and sinus issues, skin conditions, and fertility and women’s health. Two years of care and skill, and we’re grateful for every bit of it.
For anyone who’s been seeing Qing, your care continues without interruption. Kathy is expanding into Qing’s Thursday shift from the 1st of October, alongside her current Friday shift. Lou is taking on Mondays from the 21st of September.
If you’d like to book with Kathy or Lou, or have any questions about the change, give the clinic a call and we’ll help you sort it out.
Thank you, Qing, for everything you’ve brought to this clinic and to our patients. We wish you every success in what comes next 🌿

In winter your body asks you to slow and rebuild.
In Chinese medicine, winter is the time of topping up your reserves. The energy, drive, and resilience you spend the rest of the year running on. Winter is when that reserve gets replenished, if you let it.
Most of us do the opposite. We push through the cold and the short days the same way we push through everything else, then wonder why spring arrives and we’re still tired.
This isn’t a productivity tip. If anything it’s the opposite. Sleep more, eat warm, do less, let the pace drop. Not because you’re behind. but because this is the time for it.
What does your winter look like this year? ↓

Socks to bed. Heater on. Still can’t warm up.
In Chinese medicine, this kind of cold is bone deep. Kidney Yang is the body’s deep internal warmth. It drives circulation, digestion, drainage and energy. When it runs low, layering alone won’t fix it (though a tropical holiday might! 🌴).
Signs it might be more than the season: cold hands and feet even indoors, waking tired, a dull lower back ache, digestion that slows in the cold, feeling worse in the morning and better by afternoon.
Winter is Kidney season. It draws on that deep warmth more than any other time of year.
What helps: warm cooked foods, ginger and cinnamon in your cooking, keeping the lower back and feet warm, early to bed (screens off by 8pm) and moxibustion/infrared therapy for direct warmth where it’s needed.
If this sounds like you, it’s worth a look. Book via the link in bio or DM us 📩

Healing isn’t a straight line.

Each treatment builds on the last.

Consistent treatment early builds a foundation that needs less and less maintenance over time.

We don’t want you to need us for ever, but follow through is needed to reach your goals.

Wondering if your current treatment rhythm is right for where you’re at? That’s worth a conversation. Book a short consult via the link in bio or send us a message 📝

We looked at your tongue at your last appointment. This is what we were reading.

Your tongue coating tells us how your digestion is working. A thick, greasy coat means your body is struggling to break something down. A thin or absent coat means your stomach has been running on empty. We check this every visit because it shifts week to week.

Colour tells us something different. Pale tongue, low circulation, low energy. Common after illness or heavy periods. Dark red means heat is building. A purple tinge points to old, stuck blood flow. We see that one a lot with persistent pain.

We ask you not to scrape your tongue or drink coffee before your appointment. We need to see what your body wrote that morning, not the edited version.

Have a look at yours tonight. Thick coat, thin, or bare? Tell us what you see.
