Cognitive Hypnotherapy | Life Coaching | NLP | Acupuncture | Oriental Herbs | Past Life Regression

I have been running a busy practice for many years - helping people enjoy a life of greater fulfilment: from helping couples to conceive and individuals to better health, through to working with people to release the effects of distressing trauma. 

I trained in Cognitive Hypnotherapy at the Quest Institute, Regent’s College in London; the Quest training is extensive and includes leading-edge trauma resolution techniques such as EMI (Eye Movement Integration), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and Project You coaching.

My acupuncture and herbs  training was undertaken at the London College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine with continued post-graduate studies in the UK and China, covering gynaecology/fertility, paediatrics, skin conditions, gastrointestinal problems, respiratory difficulties, and a wide range of miscellaneous physical and emotional complaints.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions about how I can help you.

Shiatsu acupressure massage therapist.

Shiatsu is a hands-on healing therapy with its roots in oriental medicine. I graduated from the three year Shiatsu School Edinburgh shiatsu diploma course in 2010. I have used shiatsu with everyone from children to older adults and I believe that this deeply calming and relaxing therapy is perfect for many of the the problems caused by Western living, both physical and emotional. I am a graduate member of the Shiatsu Society UK, the professional governing body.

BSc Psychology, Reiki Master Teacher, ThetaHealing Practitioner and Instructor

I was awarded a BSc in Psychology in 2001 and since then have worked with young offenders, and adults with complex needs (including addiction, domestic violence, homelessness, and poor mental health).  I began my journey into healing in April 2008 by completing NADA UK course for acu-detox. This acupuncture technique utilizes 5-points in the ear to balance the body. Historically this has been used in rehab/detox clinics and psychiatric wards, but is branching out to include children with ADHD and various other areas.
I completed level I Reiki (with crystals) in January 2009 and progressed to Practitioner and Reiki Master Teacher by September 2009. I practice and teach Reiki on a regular basis.
In October 2009 I was introduced to ThetaHealing® and recently completed the highest level practitioner courses.  I also teach Basic, Advanced, Manifesting Theta Healing courses, and offer workshops for practitioners on a regular basis.

I currently offer in-person Theta Healing sessions at the Healthy Life Centre in Edinburgh, and courses on a regular basis.
