My holistic approach to healing
Unifying the Mind, Body & Heart
I am a birth educator, therapist and mother. I have invested heavily in my own healing, wellbeing, knowledge and professional development and truly understand the value of physical and mental health. My methods and approach, in all of my work, aim to unify the mind, body and heart.
What I do is help people who feel broken, release their trauma and remaster their mind; without spending years in therapy. I help them feel calm and in control again.
After studying visual communication at art college, I realised that my true vocation was to help people heal and find peace. Initially training as a massage therapist and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) practitioner, I then became an NHS midwife, birth educator and trauma therapist. My methods can be applied to complex and long-term issues so that individuals can finally process past events and live without limiting beliefs and fear.
The first person I ever treated
20 years ago had complex PTSD and was experiencing a constant state of fear and a debilitating phobia of fireworks. After just one treatment session with me this person was completely free of symptoms and able to move on with her life. I learnt I had a gift to help people heal and continue to be inspired by the incredible potential of the human brain to heal.
My practice has continued to grow and I’ve supported hundreds of men, women and young people to overcome trauma, phobias and PTSD, both across the UK and internationally. They have all experienced incredible results.
I provide support, training and mental health therapy
I am passionate about raising awareness and treating trauma and PTSD which are so often wrongly diagnosed as depression or anxiety. As co-founder of Birth Trauma Scotland and director of Positive Birth Scotland and The Kin Collective I provide support and mental health therapy to individuals and families. I am also a member of the NHS Lothian Perinatal Mental Health Network.
I am regularly invited to guest lecture to health professionals and contribute to national radio and news programs about resilience and trauma, stress, wellbeing, resilience, birth and meditation.
A holistic approach to trauma therapy
I provide a holistic approach to healing that unifies the mind, body and heart. I combine my extensive experience as a therapist and NLP practitioner with research-based, cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience and mental health therapy. I provide integrated treatment for trauma, phobias post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other related symptoms. My specialist training includes Eye Movement Desensitization, Reprocessing (EMDR)and Brain Working Recursive Therapy, accredited by the Human Givens Institute of Psychotherapy.
I have trained extensively in mind-body and ‘hands-on’ healing techniques and meditation practices from teachers from all over Asia and the UK. I have decades of meditation practise behind me and meditation continues to influence my work.
My extensive experience working with families as a midwife to provide medical and emotional support to individuals at their most vulnerable also enhances my knowledge of human physiology, psychology and neuro-science. This multi-disciplinary approach enables me to create an integrated and truly unique approach.
Supporting you to move forward…
I offer my services ‘in person’ from my warm and welcoming space in the easily accessible location of Edinburgh. I also work with clients from across the UK and internationally online.
My methods are powerful and highly effective – only three sessions are normally needed for you to feel relief and completely recover.
Don’t suffer in silence. I promise that I will be able to work with you to resolve all of your symptoms, so that you can live a more peaceful, positive life and reach your full potential.
