Sleep trouble
Sleep is where the clinic's disciplines overlap most. We work with trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, and rest that stopped restoring, through counselling for the racing-mind side, and massage therapy or acupuncture for the body that will not power down.
How it tends to show up
- A mind that saves its best material for 2 a.m.
- Sleep that arrives fine but leaves early
- Waking tired enough to dread the day's first hour
- A bedtime that has become a small nightly negotiation
How we approach it
Ruth works with the cognitive side of insomnia: the racing mind, the dread of the clock, the habits that grew around bad nights. This is often where stubborn sleep trouble actually lives.
Tomás sees sleep concerns weekly, usually tangled with stress. Sessions themselves are a lesson in what a powered-down half hour feels like.
An evening-adjacent appointment with Devon is the closest thing we offer to a rehearsal for rest.
What we will not sell you
No supplements, no gadgets, no fourteen-step evening protocols. The evidence-supported levers for sleep are mostly unglamorous: consistency, light, temperature, what the bed gets used for, and what the mind rehearses there. Our job is helping you find which lever is stuck, not adding products to your nightstand.
If we think your sleep trouble needs medical assessment, sleep apnea screening being the common example, we will say so at the first visit.
