About Stella Australia
Stella Centre has treated hundreds of Australians (over 1200 procedures) via this innovative Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) protocol - an advanced form of the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) procedure focused on emotional trauma, anxiety and other autonomic dysfunction such as long-covid.
Who have we helped?
We have helped Veterans (DVA), First responders and Domestic Violence victims and victims of Crime. Almost 50% of our clients have encountered childhood trauma. We have also helped clients who are diagnosed with PTSD and under the work cover insurance scheme.
Due to the sheer population demographics (scale) and having been founded in the US, many of the advancements around this therapy are USA based. This means, most of the scientific data and all the news releases are USA based. More information is on the About and FAQ pages.
What we treat
At Stella, we specialise in a procedure called the Dual sympathetic Reset - it's a refined version of the Stellate Ganglion Block. The goal is to treat the biological effects of trauma-related conditions by targeting the overactive sympathetic nervous system - the part of the body responsible for the persistent “fight or flight” response. Many patients find Stella after years of trying traditional therapy or medication, still struggling with unresolved symptoms that affect their daily lives.
This elective procedure (learn more here) is administered under image guidance and is specifically designed to help reset an overactive fight-or-flight response, which research now shows is a key driver behind persistent PTSD symptoms and nervous system dysregulation. This in turn, can help the body achieve a sense of calm, stability and general well-being.
Stella’s approach offers a medical treatment pathway designed for those who haven’t found relief through conventional care.
These are some of the common symptoms we treat:
- Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS)
- Anxiety
- Sleep Issues
- Flashbacks
- Hypervigilance
- Autonomic dysfunction / Long COVID read more here

Treatment locations across Australia
Stella's providers are small network of carefully selected medical practioners due to their expertise and commitment to innovative mental health care. Each clinician operates within an accredited hospital/facility ensuring the highest standard of care. It is intentional that they are not advertised here. It reduces confusion because they operate within their own provate practice and the facilities are not branded/owned by Stella.
We currently offer treatment in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney. Melbourne is our HQ.
Before obtaining a referral, it's imperative you get in touch or call 03 9021 6262 to find out the most suitable Stella provider for you or read our FAQ to learn more.
