Who am I?
With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I've dedicated my life to service in various forms. My journey began in 1984 at the age of 17, when I joined the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNs). Since then, I've worked in public protection for councils, supported children with behavioural issues in schools, and assisted victims, vulnerable adults, and those affected by domestic violence and child abuse in the police service. Alongside my professional journey, I've been blessed with a large and loving family - six children and five grandchildren. I believe in the power of continuous learning and strive to learn something new every year. Whether it's trying new experiences, raising funds for charity, or teaching myself to crochet during lockdown (a fair few dodgy scarves), I'm always looking for ways to grow and give back. In my downtime, I enjoy reading and am currently pursuing a diploma in pre-Scottish history, in addition to keeping up with my CPD training. And let's not forget my latest challenge - learning to run with my dog, in the pouring rain usually, but he doesnt mind.
My next charity endevrour takes place in July when I will be completing 64 miles in two days for Scottish Womens Aid. After that I am hoping to run a charity week of therapies to raise funds for the Buckhind Players in their efforts to obtain the Buckhaven Theatre. So keep your eyes peeled!
My journey into the world of holistic therapies began in my 20s when I first discovered Reflexology. However, it wasn't until 2000 that I was able to fully pursue this passion and become qualified. That same year, I also completed a full Holistic Therapy Diploma, which allowed me to broaden my skills and deepen my understanding of holistic health.
During a challenging period in my life, a friend gave me a Reiki session. The experience was transformative and eye-opening, igniting something within me which inspired me help others feel better about themselves. Since then, I've dedicated my time to learning & providing therapies that promote wellness, balance, and self-love. I firmly believe in the power of holistic therapies to heal not just the body, but also the mind and spirit.
Over the years, I've been fortunate to receive training in a wide range of therapies. These include Advanced Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Reflexology, Holistic Facials, Thai Foot Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Indian Head Massage, Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Hot Stones, Advanced Reiki, and Shamanic Healing. And I'm sure there are a few more I've forgotten! A few years ago, I was introduced to JING of Brighton, and I've been completing their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training every month since then. Their courses cover a wide range of topics, from SI joint pain and whiplash to scar tissue. Ive further learned to use a fusion of East and West techniques and incorporate still-work (holding space) and breathwork, which allows clients to use their breath to aid in therapies and beyond.
At Wyrd Thistle Therapies, I draw upon all my training and experience to ensure that you, as the client, receive exactly what you need from a therapy session. From the moment you walk through the door, you're entering a safe space dedicated to your wellbeing. As a spiritual person, I often incorporate meditation and relaxation techniques into my therapies, along with the use of hot stones and crystals. But it's important to remember that throughout all of my therapies, you remain in charge. I am here to guide and support you, but ultimately, I listen to you and follow your lead, because at the end of the day, you matter. Your comfort, your wellbeing, and your journey towards better health , are what drive me. I'm here to provide the support and care you need every step of the way.
