# Re+Cultivate: Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine

Re+Cultivate, founded by Cassandra Hawthorne, is a London-based practice offering online consultations in Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine. The business specialises in identifying and treating root causes of chronic health imbalances rather than managing symptoms alone.

The practice serves women navigating hormonal changes, stress-related conditions, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and mood issues. This includes those experiencing PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause, as well as anyone feeling out of sync with their body's natural rhythms.

What sets Re+Cultivate apart is Cassandra's dual expertise: she holds an MSc and Diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine, is a licensed acupuncturist (MBAcC), and is trained in Functional Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Her background includes substantial NHS experience on oncology wards and within pain management teams, giving her credibility in treating complex, chronic conditions.

The philosophy integrates ancient Chinese medicine wisdom—based on natural cycles and elemental balance—with contemporary functional and evidence-based approaches. Rather than offering generic protocols, Cassandra delivers personalised, collaborative consultations that empower clients to understand their health deeply.

The practice emphasises compassionate, tailored care addressing hormonal harmony, metabolic health, nervous system resilience, and emotional wellbeing. By combining traditional herbal medicine, acupuncture principles, and modern nutritional science, Re+Cultivate guides clients from confusion towards sustainable health and genuine vitality.
