Background

Angela commenced in healthcare practice in 2007, and established Eastside Clinic as a provider of Acupuncture services since 2013. With the increased demand for mental health support which came with our collective experience of COVID-19, Eastside Clinic's service offering evolved to ensure that mental health well-being is always a consideration for it's clients.

Whilst Angela's practice encompasses assisting clients with any physical condition acute or chronic which they may present, she is also passionate in assisting those with mental health concerns. As individuals, we are a wholistic package of our emotional and physical health combined. Eastside Clinic recognises the high importance of acknowledging this.

Sadness, overwhelm, stress, anxiety, depression or other uncomfortable feelings can be mild or debilitating. They can be also be apparent alongside other diagnosed or suspected conditions, for example such as ADHD, ASD, PTSD, trauma or quite commonly as symptomatic to living with chronic pain.

Angela always appreciates the privilege and opportunity to work with each person in their journey forward from wherever they are now today.

For those in neuro-diverse relationships, in this clinical space is acknowledged Cassandra Syndrome for Neurotypicals, as well as the significance of impact that underlying anxiety and overwhelm can present to the Neuro-divergent in daily living and relationships.
