Hi, I’m Cassandra Hawthorne (MSc, Lic Ac, MBAcC, CHM Dip), a licensed Chinese Medicine practitioner trained in Functional Medicine (IFM), specialising in women’s health, hormones, stress and chronic conditions. For over a decade, I’ve helped women who feel dismissed, stuck or out of balance reconnect with their bodies and regain lasting wellbeing through a truly integrative approach that blends ancient wisdom with modern, evidence-informed care.
My clinical background includes extensive work within the NHS, both on oncology wards supporting patients through side effects such as hot flushes, neuropathy and anxiety, and as part of a pain management team working with chronic and acute pain. This has given me a deep understanding of complex, multi-system conditions and the emotional impact of long-term health challenges.
Many of the women I work with come to me for support with hormonal and reproductive health, including endometriosis, perimenopause, menopause and PCOS, as well as those frustrating “grey-area” symptoms that don’t always show up on standard tests. I specialise in connecting the dots between body systems to uncover the root causes behind persistent or unexplained symptoms.
Your care begins with a comprehensive onboarding and in-depth consultation, supported by a detailed health history and any appropriate functional or conventional testing. At your follow-up, I explain your results in a clear, meaningful way so you fully understand what’s driving your symptoms, before we create a personalised schedule of care using herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle guidance designed to restore balance over 6–12 months.
Throughout your journey, you receive ongoing support, accountability and collaborative care, including referrals to trusted practitioners when needed, so you feel guided and held every step of the way. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and deeply personalised — helping you move from confusion and frustration into clarity, confidence and lasting wellbeing.
