Welcome to BrainSTIM.
I created this clinic with one simple goal: to provide a calm, supportive space where children, teenagers, and adults can feel safe, understood, and empowered. At BrainSTIM, we focus on gentle, evidence-informed therapy that supports the nervous system and helps build emotional regulation, resilience, and confidence over time.
Every person who walks through our doors is treated as an individual, with care tailored to their unique needs and goals. I invite you to explore our website, learn more about what we do, and reach out if you have any questions. We’re here to help.
Our Dedicated Team
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.
