About Us

Welcome to Vale of Health Holistic Healing for Mind and Body. Founded by Cassie and Ghila, a mother and daughter team, Vale of Health brings together decades of experience and passion for healing through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), naturopathic nutrition, and Reiki. It is rare to find an acupuncturist who is also a trained and certified nutritionist, and it is that which sets Ghila and Cassie apart from other therapists.

They are able to combine their knowledge across Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy, and Western Medicine to give you up to date, research backed treatments and protocols. This knowledge, paired with a deep compassion and willingness to really listen, is what makes Vale of Health so special. What began as a personal journey of transformation became a shared mission to help others find balance and truly feel their best.

Our Story

Our journey into holistic healing began with personal health challenges that changed how we viewed health. We experienced firsthand how powerful integrative therapies like acupuncture and nutrition can be in restoring health, especially when Western Medicine cannot help. It inspired us to dedicate our lives to sharing these practices with others.

We believe that true health is about more than just treating symptoms—it’s about understanding the body as a whole, addressing the root causes, and nourishing the mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, managing chronic health issues, or simply looking to feel better in your everyday life, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Meet Ghila

Taking a holistic approach to help me regulate my hormones, she’s also been advising me on how to improve my diet and it works! Since I started seeing her my cycles are more regular and my skin is not breaking out anymore. Cassie always takes time to understand the situation and ask the right questions. I can only recommend her and I’m looking forward to our next appointment!”

  • “I highly recommend Cassie! Cassie played a crucial role in my fertility journey, despite my initial fear of needles, I found our sessions to be enjoyable. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and assured and I knew I was in good hands. I’m so thankful to Cassie for getting me through the process swiftly and I definitely plan on reaching out again for the next time.”

    — Danielle Gilbert

  • “I started seeing Cassie a few months before I started IVF treatment. I was exhausted, anxious and constantly feeling stressed. As soon as I started doing acupuncture with Cassie I started sleeping better and felt more calm and relaxed. Cassie supported me through the whole IVF treatment and through each of my transfers. She was patient, kind and always made time to fit it me in even around awkward timed transfers and appointments. I am so grateful to have met Cassie and I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone going through a long fertility journey.”
