Catie Gett provides the southern suburbs of Melbourne with ethically produced natural ingredients and local, organic health foods at The Staple Store. And A Staple Space is an extension of that vision. It is a sustainable health-and-wellness clinic in a prime location on a high-rise rooftop on Bourke Street, overlooking the GPO. Gett plans to enhance the lives of Melburnians, one office cubicle at a time.
Gett is a clinical naturopath and recognised that the city and its bustling, corporate, business culture were in need of a wellness space.
Here services are tailored to the time-poor in need of breathing space. There are mini aromatherapy relaxation massage treatments. There is also cold-drip tea, Western liquid herbal extracts customised to specific health needs and, of course, food. Number crunchers and paper and pixel pushers can pick-up meals in a jar such as muesli, soup, Mexican curry and chocolate of the good kind, such as Citizen Cacao.
There is also a line-up of therapists all in the one place, such as an acupuncturist, naturopaths, medical dieticians, lifestyle yoga instructors, remedial- and relaxation-massage therapists and a Chinese medicine practitioner.
