Holistic Healing Appointments
Reiki, Shamanic Healing, Sound Therapy & Bodywork offered in a trauma-informed, supportive environment with a queer and disabled practitioner who centres accessibility.
Who This Is For
- You want relaxation, nervous system support, and an inclusive space to explore healing modalities
- You’re curious about, or interested in wellness and spiritual practices
- You like to have the flexibility of booking one-off or occasional sessions
- You might have felt excluded in mainstream wellness spaces and are looking for a more neurodiversity affirming, chronic illness/disability aware and LGBTQ+ welcoming space.
How This Differs from Somatic Therapy
My in person and online Somatic Therapy offers ongoing, structured, therapeutic support, usually starting with at least 6 sessions booked in a block. This allows us time to build consistency over time, process more complex experiences, and work within a therapeutic container.
Holistic appointments are more flexible, and can be booked as a one-off, or as and when you’d like to come. They offer relaxation, and/or energetic support with a range of different modalities such as Reiki and Shamanic Healing, Sound Healing and more.

In-Person Holistic Healing in Edinburgh, Leith and Ratho
Shamanic healing supports deep energetic and emotional clearing by helping you reconnect with your inner power and guidance. Sessions may involve soul or power retrieval, intuitive messages, and often include Reiki to promote balance and ease.
These sessions are ideal if you’re feeling stuck, low on energy, or seeking spiritual clarity. Reiki helps calm the system, while shamanic work brings insight and empowerment.
All Holistic Healing Sessions are tailored to your needs and may include Reiki, shamanic techniques, gentle bodywork, meditation, and somatic integration.
I bring a very grounded approach to spirituality.
As I’ve been working in these spaces, I’ve been dismayed to see how many practitioners can encourage a very disembodied form of energy work. It’s of the utmost importance to me that energy work is balanced with somatic work. So expect that I will include grounding elements to any energy work we do.
Integrate Holistic Healing with Somatic Therapy
Some clients choose to integrate these practices alongside ongoing somatic therapy for a more holistic approach.
Energy work opens the door to powerful shifts, but it’s somatic tools that help you ground and integrate them. That’s why combining these approaches can feel so supportive. Combining Somatic Therapy with energy healing is all about balance, opening to energetic shifts while remaining anchored in your body.

Accessibility
As a queer, neurodivergent and disabled business owner, accessibility is embedded into the heart of my practice for both my clients and myself. In my Holistic Healing sessions I will always check in regularly with you to ensure you feel the sessions are accessible to your needs. You can learn more about me, my values, and qualifications here.
A note on pricing
I offer limited concessionary spots for those with financial constraints who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access Somatic Therapy appointments. These are offered on a limited basis to ensure I stay within my own capacity as a practitioner also managing ongoing chronic illness.

As a holistic and somatic therapist, my practice focuses on supporting individuals in their journey towards well-being by integrating mind-body approaches. My work is rooted in the understanding that our experiences, emotions, and past traumas are often held within the body, and by gently engaging with somatic awareness, we can facilitate profound healing and transformation.
What I Can Help With:
Nervous System Regulation: Supporting clients in developing greater capacity for self-regulation, reducing symptoms of chronic stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, and cultivating a sense of safety and calm within the body.
Trauma Recovery (Somatic-Focused): Guiding clients through somatic processes to gently release stored trauma in the body, helping to complete thwarted biological responses, and fostering resilience and integration. This involves working with the body's innate wisdom to process and move beyond traumatic experiences.
Chronic Illness Support (Somatic-Focused): Assisting individuals in exploring the body-mind connection in chronic illness, developing somatic resources to manage symptoms, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life. This may involve addressing underlying stress, emotional patterns, and nervous system dysregulation that contribute to chronic conditions.
Neurodivergence Support (Somatic-Focused): Providing somatic tools and strategies to help neurodivergent individuals navigate sensory sensitivities, manage executive function challenges, improve interoception, and cultivate greater self-awareness and self-regulation.
Embodied Awareness and Self-Connection: Facilitating a deeper connection to the body's wisdom, intuition, and innate capacity for healing.
Stress Reduction and Resilience Building: Offering practical, body-based techniques to reduce stress, build resilience, and enhance overall well-being.
Emotional Processing (Somatic-Focused): Supporting clients in safely experiencing and processing emotions through body-centered awareness, rather than cognitive analysis.
What I Do Not Provide:
Talking Therapy/Psychotherapy: I am not a qualified talking therapist and my approach does not involve traditional cognitive-behavioral or psychoanalytic methods. While verbal processing may occur, the primary focus of the work is always brought back to the body and somatic experience.
Health Diagnosis or Medical Advice: I am not licensed to provide health diagnoses, medical advice, or prescribe any treatments. My services are complementary to medical care and should not be considered a substitute for professional medical or psychiatric treatment.
Crisis Intervention for Active Suicidality: I am unable to work with individuals who are actively suicidal or in acute mental health crisis. In such situations, it is crucial to seek immediate support from emergency services or a qualified mental health professional.
Primary Treatment for Severe Mental Health Issues: For individuals experiencing severe mental health conditions, engagement with my services would require a multidisciplinary approach and explicit approval from their existing healthcare team (e.g., psychiatrist, psychologist, GP). My role in these cases would be complementary and supportive, working in collaboration with other professionals.
