A Mother's Feedback

The Circle has been a real source of support and nourishment for me as I emerged from a tricky birth into my fourth trimester. It’s been wonderful and very grounding to begin each new week surrounded by community, expertise and encouragement - not to mention cups of tea made by someone else, and drunk while hot! The Circle has become a touchstone of my week and has supported my journey not just with breastfeeding but also with finding my feet as a new mum in general. Thank you so much Thomasina, Simi and Alison!

Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂 – with the night and day at equal length, before we set off back into the darkness, look inwards, and slow down (although that’s a lot easier said than done). A time to contemplate and consider what we are thankful for in our lives. So gather a little closer, as a slight chill comes into the evening air (although seemingly not in this corner of London), join with family and friends over the next couple of weeks to celebrate the abundance of the harvest. Happy Autumn Equinox to you all. This beautiful image is called Coming of Autumn, from the skilful hand of @tijanadraws #autumnequinox #wheeloftheyear1 day ago

September always arrives with a to-do list! New term, new diary, new resolve. It's a lot to ask of our mind and body. September might also be the month when things start to surface... Sleep gets patchy. Temperature control goes awry. Moods that felt manageable in August develop a sharper edge. This is a nervous system being asked to sprint in a season that's quietly telling it to slow down. In Chinese medicine, September is a turning point: the moment we stop 'spending' and start 'storing'. The energy that's been running out of us all summer needs consolidating, and the Shen (the part of us that governs sleep, mood and steadiness) needs somewhere quiet to settle - and that's where acupuncture can help. Look after your Shen now, and winter can become an entirely different experience. That's the magic of the Collective. You'll be in the room alongside other women, held in the same nurturing space, while what happens on the treatment bed is entirely yours: your cycle, your sleep, your capacity, your September. Come and unwind with Sophie and Dr Sunila, and let the season do what it's meant to do. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 21st September ⭐This Monday's Acupuncture Collective is WAITING LIST ONLY - so we've opened up October's appointments early so you can grab your place - follow the link in our bio. ⭐5 days ago
