And here we have it - last but not least! Before and after photos of treatment room #2! As with the other spaces, I've still got some finishing touches to do, but I'm really happy with how I've been able to transform the space from something quite awful, into something beautiful. Even though you can see in the before photo that there was a lot of water damage in the building, as I've said in an earlier post, there has been significant waterproofing, repair and professional mould remediation to ensure this is a safe and healthy environment for everyone.  I hope to see you in the clinic one day soon to show it to you IRL!

So here is an interesting question for you...What do you do with an oddly shaped space that is not quite a room, but too big to just be a passageway? Why, you turn it into a peaceful, semi-private sanctuary for a top of the line massage chair, that's what! Introducing our newest offering - the Elex Meditouch massage chair, where you can let all your worries melt away. I'm proud of this part of the clinic - with the curtain drawn it really feels like you're in your own little space. Add in the complementary eye massager and you can really drift off into relaxation. You can book an affordable 20, 30, 40 or even 60 minute massage in the chair right here on the website, and give it a try for yourself :-)   You can book an affordable 20, 30, 40 or even 60 minute massage in the chair right here on the website. Why don't you come in and give it a try for yourself? :-)
Those of you who visited the QYHC at it's old location will understand why I was excited to discover we would have our very own bathroom at the new space, but take a look.... How revolting is the before photo??! I was not going to let the opportunity to create a beautiful, serene and CLEAN bathroom for myself and my beautiful patients pass me by. After years of sharing the awful toilets at Springwood Mall, finally we have a clean and calm place to pee in peace!  Which one would you rather use?!
Welcome to part two of my before and after photos! As you can see, I got quite a nasty surprise when I pulled up the horrid old lino on my first day in the new premises - underneath was terrible water damage that rendered the place unsafe & unhealthy. After an already long and arduous journey to securing this new premises, it was almost enough to make me want to give up.... But hopefully you know, that's not the kind of person I am. It took another two months of negotiations to get the owner to address this serious issue properly (i.e. not just "giving it a good clean", as they wanted me to do) - including professional mould remediation (twice, at my insistence), waterproofing the walls and floor, and agreeing to regular air quality health checks. To their credit, they eventually did all the right things. And only then could I begin painting, flooring and decorating.... but I hope you agree it was all worth it. I'm proud of everything I've overcome to get to this point and how great it looks! My wonderful patients tell me that the space has lovely energy and have been having deeply relaxing and healing treatments already.  
More photos to come...I hope you're enjoying them.
I'm delighted to offer you a peek into the transformation of a delapidated old space into the beautiful nurturing clinic that Quan Yin Healing Centre 2.0 now is! This is the first of a series of posts - today I'll be showcasing the reception area. I personally painted all the ceilings & walls, laid every floor plank, and did the decor. It's still not 100% finished, but I'll keep refining the special finishing details, and it's so wonderful to be open again!!    What do you think?!
I hope this message finds you warm and cosy on this wonderful winter weekend.
I can't think of a better day to write to you, than the one following the longest night of the year. It is symbolic of emerging out of the darkness, new beginnings, and stepping into the ever growing light. On that note, I'm very happy to share with you that my new clinic, the Quan Yin Healing Centre, 2.0 is now open for bookings! I'm still putting the finishing touches on the space, so I won't share any photos just yet, but I will be sharing some before/after pictures in future emails (and social media)....and of course, I can't wait for you to come and see it in person :-) From next week, you'll be able to find me at Shop 1, 66 Springwood Avenue, Springwood - I'm nestled in between the Pilates Studio ('The Mat Life'), and Service NSW (which is across the laneway, on the opposite corner). It's a lovely spot, super quiet (no more banging from the cafe next door, yay!), and with a view of bushland across the road. You can now make bookings here in the portal, or online on the website, with availability starting next week. I will have reduced hours (10-3pm, Monday to Friday) to begin with, but I will be looking to extend these hours in future, to hopefully include some evenings and Saturdays too. I have updated my offerings to reflect the longer time and higher quality of care you receive with a standard consult, as well as continuing to offer an extended follow up session for those times when you might have extra questions or concerns you would like more time to discuss. Please do select a longer session if you feel this applies to you. I know in the past I have been very 'relaxed', shall we say, with appointment times, but I'm taking this opportunity to make a fresh start, and will be staying within the allocated appointment times from now on. Thank you so much for your understanding. I am also now offering express, 30 minute 'mini stress relief' sessions for only $50, so if you'd like to come in and lie on the beautiful infrared crystal heat mat for a relaxing and restorative acu-nap, you can do that too!! Combine that with some time in the massage chair, and you'll be floating for the rest of the day :-) Sessions now available include: * Standard follow up session - 70 minutes - $115 * Extended follow up session - 90 minutes - $150 * Mini stress relief session - 30 minutes - $50 * Meditouch Massage chair - 20/30/40/60 minutes - $25/$30/$40/$50 ....With more offerings in the wings to be announced soon. Finally, I have a special offer for you all to celebrate the re-opening of my practice: I am offering a 50% discount for all sessions (of any length) booked in the Meditouch massage chair over the next two weeks - just use code RELAX in the portal when booking your session. And even better, I am offering a 100% discount for all sessions (of any length) booked in the Meditouch massage chair for everyone who books an acupuncture session over the next two weeks! Just use code BLISS in the portal when booking your appointments (they can be made for different times if you wish). You can use the discounts as many times as you like until the 7th of July - so enjoy! That's all for today - thank you, once again, for reading all the way to the end of a rather lengthy email. Enjoy the Winter Magic this weekend, and I look forward to being in touch again soon, and hopefully seeing you in my beautiful new space. With love, Angie An open letter to my beautiful patients, I hope this message finds you well and keeping cosy on this winters eve. I have missed, you, and have been dreaming of writing this email to you all for so long! First of all, I want to sincerely apologise for metaphorically "falling off the edge of the earth" for a while there. I know that one moment, I was saying that my new clinic was just around the corner, and then the next…..well, the next, there was radio silence. A number of you have texted, emailed and called me, only to receive no reply. For this, I can only humbly beg your forgiveness. Without going into too much detail, there have been an unfortunate combination of factors that conspired to make opening a new practice extremely difficult, as well as to concurrently throw my entire life into absolute and total chaos. It is only a slight exaggeration to say that to get to this point has felt like crawling on my hands and knees over broken glass for the last six months. To be honest, for a while there I wasn’t sure I was going to make it through to the other side. Luckily, there is now light at the end of the tunnel. I owe a great debt of gratitude to the people who loved, supported and helped me through this difficult time, including my wonderful dad, my amazing partner, my (mostly!) delightful children, my caring friends, and an incredible psychologist I was lucky enough to find through a little known about government-funded program for complex PTSD. I've received invaluable practical support from the kind and generous people at Winmalee & Blaxland Neighbourhood Centres, and the Anglicare mobile pantry (if you are struggling financially, do check them out, they’re fabulous!). To all these people and more - thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now to the part where I get to tell you the best news of all…. Drum roll please…. I have a new clinic space in Springwood!!! It’s the Quan Yin Healing Centre (2.0!) - and it is, *finally*, almost ready to share with you, and be unveiled unto the world!!! It has been a labour of love to say the least, and I have had to create this space from scratch, from the very bare bones of a dilapidated premises. However, I hope you will be able to feel my love and care in every part of it. I have many plans for continual improvements, so this is just the beginning. In addition to offering my acupuncture and health coaching services that you are familiar with, I will soon be introducing new offerings over the coming months, including: Facial/cosmetic acupuncture Hot stone massage Chinese remedial massage Deluxe pamper packages And for the pièce de résistance… I have upgraded the much loved waiting room massage chair, with a new, state of the art relaxation pod - the Meditouch by Elex chairs - an award winning massage chair that features smart AI technology and offers customised massage experiences. This is a truly magnificent chair that will be in it’s own private area for you to enjoy before, after or instead of other treatments at the centre. There will be a small fee for using the chair, but don’t worry - I will be sending you all a special code soon so that you can book a time slot and come try it out! I hope that this will also provide a way for those of you who may be struggling financially to be able to access regular affordable relaxation treatments.  I’ll be announcing the opening date and address of the new premises soon, and am in the process of updating Practice Better with my new hours, offerings and prices, so keep an eye out for another email in the next few days for all the details. Until then, thank you for indulging this rather personal letter, and for your kindness, graciousness and patience while I am slowly getting back on my feet. I am but an imperfect human, yet hopefully me sharing this can help you feel more comfortable trusting your own imperfect journey with me, knowing that I will only ever hold a safe and non-judgemental space for anything that you may be going through. This thing called life is hard. It is also exquisitely beautiful. It is the eternal dance of yin and yang, for without the darkness, there would be no light. I am called to share this quote, which has been a favourite of mine since high school (many, many moons ago now!): “People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” Elisabeth Kubler-Ross I believe in the light inside you, and I, and simply can’t wait to see you all again, to start the next chapter of the Quan Yin Healing Centre. I’ll be in touch again soon, until then, take care of your precious selves, With love Angie  I hope you, your family, and your friends are doing well and staying healthy. This is just a quick post today to share some happy news - I'm coming back to practice from Thursday 14th May!
I've been working really hard updating my Infection Control policies in the wake of the pandemic, to make sure the clinic is as COVID-Safe as possible, because your health is my #1 priority. Here is a quick update on what you can expect when you come in for your treatments, so that you feel as comfortable as possible when you come in: I'm now available for bookings online! I'm excited about embracing this opportunity for innovation, and finding new ways to serve you during this challenging time.
During a telehealth session, we have many ways to customise it to your needs, including: I know what a difficult time it is for everyone right now with the Coronavirus pandemic. I have to have trust that everything will be OK, and that there will be so many good things to come from this. I also really acknowledge that many of us are experiencing very real fear, pain, and loss right now. I am feeling all of those things too, and I stand with you in solidarity.  |
