ABOUT HEATHER
LEARN MORE ABOUT MY PERSONAL JOURNEY
My Journey
In 2021 I completed my Masters in Psychology from University of Glasgow and moved to the Isle of Arran. I had been dreaming of the place for a few months and in my dreams, Arran appeared like Avalon, the mythical Kingdom from Arthurian legends.
​
A few months later I travelled to another island paradise a little further south, Zanzibar. Dwelling upon the Atlantean and Lemurian islands fuel my intuitive, creative and healing approaches.
My Background
I began my career with a first class honours degree from the University of Edinburgh in Physiology (the systems of the body) and have spent 18 years working within the clinical research world including as Director of Global Clinical Operations, helping to bring novel treatments in neurology, oncology, cardiology, rare genetic indications amongst others to market and mentoring busy teams.
​
A personal Pluto return (transformation!) and further studies since 2015 in psychology, yoga, qi gong, reiki and nature based therapeutics have reinforced the necessity for a holistic approach for full body, mind and spiritual health.
​
I have been practising yoga since 2008 beginning in Seattle, USA, leading sessions on both sides of the Atlantic, completing teacher trainer qualification with the Classical Yoga School and further 500 hours training with my personal yoga, reiki and meditation coach, Yogi Kaivalyananda.
​
Further studies include a Master's in Psychological Sciences from the University of Glasgow. I offer a combination of somatic-based therapy, mindfulness, compassion-based and nature-based therapy for bespoke person-centred approaches as a holistic therapist. I have been working with 1-2-1 clients and groups for seven years.
