Here in Nelson, autumn arrives with its familiar paradox—feeling simultaneously overdue and premature. As daylight hours shrink rapidly at the equinox, everything follows: cooling air, changing leaves, our energy moving inward. Yet just as our bodies call for rest, external demands intensify.

Some thrive in autumn's cooling, others mourn summer's warmth. Understanding your constitutional pattern helps you navigate seasonal change with wisdom rather than resistance.
