About Us

Specialised Expertise
Certified in the Melillo Method®, with advanced neuroscience-based training in functional brain development, hemispheric balance and primitive reflex integration — expertise held by very few practitioners in Melbourne.

Genuine Care
This is more than a profession. Every family is supported with care, understanding and commitment. You are guided personally, never judged, and never treated like just another appointment.

Proven Outcomes
Families consistently report improved focus, emotional regulation, confidence and coordination. When neurological foundations strengthen, school feels easier, home feels calmer, and everyday life becomes noticeably more manageable.

Root-Cause Focus
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, BrainSTIM strengthens underlying neurological foundations. When brain organisation improves, existing therapies and supports often become more effective and cohesive.

What our clients Say

Our 16-year-old daughter has struggled with anxiety and depression and has been seeing Amie for BrainSTIM therapy for over a year. She often arrives overwhelmed and highly anxious, but leaves calm, smiling and more positive. She feels safe, supported and genuinely understood. The change in her outlook has been significant, giving us confidence she has the tools and support to face VCE and future challenges with resilience.

Olivia’s Family

Our 14-year-old son has worked with Amie Jacka for nearly three years, including weekly BrainSTIM therapy sessions. The progress has been remarkable. Diagnosed with autism at three, he struggled with anxiety, focus, speech delay and social engagement. Today, his core strength, confidence and school engagement have improved significantly. We can now enjoy family outings together. Amie and her team have given us renewed hope for his future.

The Harrison Family

I was referred to Amie at True Health by my naturopath after discussing my son’s sensory seeking and impulse control challenges. Having heard positive stories about brain stimulation therapy, I felt hopeful.

After just six weeks, the changes were remarkable. He was calmer, less impulsive and better able to follow instructions. Even his kindergarten teacher noticed the improvement. We feel more confident and grateful to have found Amie and the BrainSTIM team.

Chantelle

A year ago, our then 11-year-old daughter began the program after eight years of trying everything else. We hoped for improvement, but never imagined this transformation.

She has blossomed beyond our expectations — from living in her own world to wanting to be part of ours. She is engaged, expressive, happy, and proud to call someone her “best friend.” Watching her connect, laugh and belong has been extraordinary.

Claudia

I’m a mum to three beautiful girls and, before starting my family, I worked as a kindergarten teacher, caring for and supporting many wonderful children.

I’ve also seen the impact of the BrainSTIM program firsthand, as my own daughter has been under Amie’s care for several years. The progress she has made has been remarkable, and I’m now proud to support Amie as she works with your children.

Zan

Our five-year-old Hugo has made incredible progress since starting BrainSTIM six months ago. His self-regulation, gross motor skills and social interactions have all significantly improved.

Amie and the team are knowledgeable, empathetic and genuinely invested in our family’s wellbeing. Their support has made a meaningful difference to Hugo’s development and daily life. We couldn’t recommend them more.

Lucas

We began BrainSTIM therapy with Amie three months ago, and the progress our almost two-year-old daughter, Annabel, has made has been remarkable. Previously delayed in key milestones, including walking and speech, she is now walking, talking and far more confident. We often notice positive changes immediately after each session and are incredibly grateful for the team’s expert, supportive care.

Amanda

If you’re considering the BrainSTIM approach, take the leap. In just three months of a home-based program and monthly clinic visits, I’ve experienced full integration of retained primitive reflexes, significant strength gains, reduced motion sickness, and improvements in concentration, posture, energy and emotional regulation. After 38 years of struggling, I finally know these challenges can be addressed at their source.

Anne

We’ve had such a positive experience with BrainSTIM. After trying what felt like every possible approach for our son’s behavioural challenges, this felt like our last resort. While we’re still early in the process, we’ve already noticed a real difference in his anxiety levels. Amie and her team are fun, caring and incredibly supportive — and our son genuinely looks forward to his sessions each week.
