You Don’t Need to Keep Coping Alone

What to Expect from Your First Visit to George Street Wellness Clinic

You’ve been holding it all together - just about.


Maybe you’ve googled your symptoms, read the wellness blogs, tried all the self-care tips.

You’re doing everything “right”… and still not feeling quite like yourself.


It might show up as tiredness you can’t shake, tension in your chest or shoulders, a cycle of overwhelm and overthinking that feels hard to break. You might tell yourself it’s just stress. Hormones. Burnout.

But part of you knows: it’s time for some proper support.


If you've been thinking about booking an appointment but you're not quite sure what to expect - this blog is for you. Here’s a glimpse into what your first visit to George Street Wellness Clinic might actually feel like.


You’ll Be Met With Calm, Not Clinical

I know how vulnerable it can feel to walk into a wellness space for the first time - especially if you’re used to powering through on your own.


That’s why the first thing you’ll notice is the atmosphere. I’ve intentionally created a space that feels warm, quiet, and grounded - not clinical or intimidating. No fluorescent lights. No rushed conversations. Just calm energy, soft surroundings. It’s a space where you can let your shoulders drop. Where you don’t need to have all the answers. Where you can simply be.


We Listen to You and to Your Body

You won’t be rushed through a tick-box consultation. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all wellness.


At your first appointment, you’ll have time to talk - about what’s been going on, how you’ve been feeling, and what kind of support you’re looking for. I’ll listen to the words, but also to what’s going on underneath.

And if you don’t know where to start, that’s okay too. Many people arrive not entirely sure what they need - just knowing something feels off. Together, we’ll work out a path forward.


A Range of Therapies - Tailored to You

I offer a selection of calming, body-based therapies that are all rooted in nervous system support and emotional wellbeing. That includes:

  • Acupuncture – To support stress, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, and emotional regulation
  • Reflexology – To deeply relax the body and restore internal balance
  • EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) – For emotional release, trauma, anxiety, and thought spirals
  • Counselling – For when you need to talk things through, gently and at your own pace


You don’t have to know which one is right - I'll help you choose based on how you’re feeling and what your body is asking for.


Sometimes people start with one therapy and find they benefit from a combination over time. That’s absolutely okay.


You Can Take It at Your Own Pace

There’s no pressure to “fix” everything in one session. In fact, I believe healing often happens in the slow, quiet moments.


Whether you book a one-off appointment or explore ongoing support, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. Some people come weekly, some monthly. Some dip in and out as they need to. There are no rules - just support that’s led by you.


It's Not “Just in Your Head”

One of the most powerful things we hear from clients is:

“I didn’t realise how much I was holding until I slowed down.”

So many of us are taught to override our bodies - to push through tiredness, to rationalise our feelings, to cope quietly and carry on.


But your symptoms - whether they’re physical, emotional, hormonal, or all of the above - are not imaginary. They’re real. And they deserve proper support.


At George Street Wellness, I hold space for the whole of you - body, mind, and nervous system.

 

Book your first session today - I’d love to welcome you.

If you feel like your hormones are running the show lately - from mood swings and low energy to irregular cycles or heavy periods - you’re not alone.

You tell yourself you’re just tired. That it’s “just stress.”

You’ve journaled. You’ve talked to friends. Maybe you’ve even had counselling before. But despite everything, something still feels stuck.

You’re going to bed at a decent time. Maybe you’re even sleeping through the night. But when you wake up, you feel… exhausted.

In a world that moves fast and praises logic over intuition, many of us have learned to live in our heads - constantly thinking, analysing, and doing.

Have you ever been told you’re “too sensitive”?

Hormonal imbalances are incredibly common — especially among women — and yet, they’re often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or brushed off as “just part of life.”
