About Cassie

Welcome to my page and thank you for considering the Safe and Sound Protocol as a therapy to support your nervous system.

This business is close to my heart. It’s grown out of my own journey as a parent and my relentless quest to find ways to support my son, who has autism, and my family, who was struggling under the weight of it all. Life, as we all know, is a journey. For me, that journey led me to the Safe and Sound Protocol, a therapy that brought about remarkable changes for my son in just two months. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard of it from other medical professionals. For me personally, it helped my own nervous system emerge from shutdown and depression after more than a year-long battle. I was so amazed by the Safe and Sound Protocol’s effectiveness that I decided to undergo training myself, so I could offer it to other families who might benefit.

I hold a a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, and I am currently enrolled in my Honours year of psychology while I am working toward qualification as a psychologist. Previously, I spent over 15 years as a high school teacher, teaching English and foreign languages. I have a lot of experience working with young people, families and conveying information.

In my spare time I love learning, gardening, being in nature. I have two dogs and live on a farm with cows, chickens, and ten guinea pigs. There is never a dull moment.

I describe myself as deeply empathetic, curious and creative.

My therapist role is shaped by my deep interest in the Polyvagal theory, Somatic Experiencing, Neurofeedback, and the Internal Family Systems approach (parts work). These frameworks have been instrumental in helping me understand and support myself and my family. In my practice, I take a holistic approach, drawing from these various theories and techniques to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing space where clients can embark on their own journeys of healing and growth.

Thank you for considering me as a partner on your journey to wellness.
