Mental Health, Sleep & Stress Management

Living, working and raising a family in a busy city can take an emotional toll. We understand that the pressures of life can sometimes be overwhelming and an inability to sleep can exacerbate everything; we are here to help. Living under the umbrella of constant stress, anxiety or depression can be debilitating and lonely. We know how difficult it can be to switch off, and take your body out of fight or flight and truly just relax. Acupuncture is particularly beneficial at forcing the body into a relaxed state, and with nutrition we really can help you make tiny changes that go a long way to making sure you stay calm, improve your sleep, and can manage whatever life throws your way. Our holistic emotional wellness support through acupuncture and nutrition helps alleviate stress, anxiety, and mood imbalances, creating a more peaceful, balanced life as you move through each stage of life.

  • “Cassie is such a lovely person. She has personalised my acupuncture to suit my lifestyle and my life journey. I'm so happy that I found someone who can support me through my consistent feelings of stress. I have been seeing her since July 2024 and I have noticed so many positive changes. I have been a big ball of stress for decades, I have 4 young children and my life journey has been difficult. Since seeing Cassie, my stress levels are decreasing, my self-confidence has improved, and so much more. I believe it is because of her personal attributes to her work and her lovely caring natural instinct. I have been clamping my teeth for a few years and I haven't been feeling my best. Her strategy is better then most acupuncture therapist as she has a pre session check-in with non-judgemental support. She seems educated in many things to help different walks of life. If you are look for someone who will be intuitive to support your positive life journey, Cassie is definitely the one to choose😍”
