“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😍”

“I can't recommend Cassie enough! She has truly been a game-changer in my journey toward better health and well-being. I initially sought her help for issues with sleep and PMS and the transformation I’ve experienced under her care has been remarkable. From the very first session, Cassie made me feel at ease with her warm, compassionate demeanour and deep knowledge of acupuncture. She takes the time to understand my individual needs, always listening intently and tailoring each session to address specific concerns. Her approach is both professional and personal, which made me feel cared for right from the start. In just a few treatments, I began to notice significant improvements in my sleep patterns. My anxiety, which used to feel overwhelming at times before my cycle has reduced dramatically. Thanks to Cassie's treatments, I feel calmer, more centered, and able to handle daily stresses with more ease. What sets Cassie apart is not just her expertise but her genuine passion for helping others. She is truly dedicated to her patients’ well-being, and it shows in the thoughtful care she provides. Each session is a relaxing, rejuvenating experience that leaves me feeling more balanced, both physically and emotionally. If you're struggling with sleep, anxiety, or any other issues, I highly recommend booking an appointment with Cassie. Her acupuncture sessions have made a world of difference for me, and I’m so grateful to have found her. She is a gifted healer, and I can't thank her enough for all she's done!”
