What's green and growing and smiling all over? Our tonika health family, which has just grown by two new members! Yes, we know, getting appointments with Daniela has become ridiculously hard. We tried our best to clone her in our secret lab but alas, we didn't quite succeed. Seriously though, we've been looking for a solution for some time now. And not just any solution...

You get home from a long day and all you want is a bowl of ice cream. It's a week before your period and you can't stop thinking about chocolate. You've just had a sweaty session at the gym and you'd kill for something salty like chips. Or perhaps it's any other plethora of things. Regardless of what the craving is, I'm betting that we've all experienced them before! Sometimes, cravings are minor. Sometimes, cravings feel so intense that they're all you can think about, you may feel unable to...

Hi there, it's Peter (tonika health's acupuncturist!). Today, I want to chat about making the most of autumn. All life on earth, up until recent times, has been closely synchronised to the seasons.

However, we can never take away our deep primal connections to the seasons. And how they affect the functioning of our bodies. In fact,...

'tis Rosie, tonika health's one and only osteopath! I don’t usually watch TV, but when I do…I watch the Kardashians or nerdy documentaries. There's usually no in between. However, I wanted to share with you something else I saw that interested me (and I promise it has nothing to do with Kimmy K). The show 'The Doctor who Gave up Drugs' was on one night, and I happened to flick over to see the experiment they were performing. Spoiler alert if you were hoping to watch series 1 episode 2...

Hi all! My name is Peter and I'm the newest addition to the tonika health team. As a registered acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner, I'm so excited to have joined the tonika health family with Daniela, Rosie and Nina. To mark my commencement of my care of the Surry Hills community, I'd love to pass on an extremely powerful self care technique. Firstly, here's a little more about me.

Did you know that 18% of Australians have experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months? And that 26% of those receiving food relief are under the age of 19? Hunger is a hidden crisis in Australia and charities are struggling to meet the growing issue, and each month 65,000 Australians seeking food relief are unable to be assisted. This is an issue that we're incredibly passionate about at tonika health. So we're helping by running a Christmas food drive (led by Nina, our friendly front-of-desk and student nutritionist). This is your chance to help families,...
