Herbalists make use of plants whose traditional uses are backed up by modern scientific research and clinical trials. A qualified Medical Herbalist has a BSc or equivalent in Herbal Medicine, has studied orthodox medicine as well as plant medicine and is trained in the same diagnostic skills as a GP. However, Herbalists take an holistic approach to illness, treating the underlying cause of disease rather than just the symptoms. They are able to prescribe herbal remedies to be used alongside other medication and treatments, and many patients are referred to a Herbalist by their GP for treatment. Herbal Medicine is suitable for people of any age, including children, who respond especially well to the gentle actions of herbs. Each patient is treated as an individual – a Medical Herbalist recognises that no two patients are the same.

Homeopathy

A therapeutic system founded by the German doctor Samuel Christian F. Hahnemann, Meissen, Germany 1755 - Paris, 1843.

A therapeutic system founded by the German doctor Samuel Christian F. Hahnemann, Meissen, Germany 1755 - Paris, 1843.
The word ‘homeopathy’ is made up of the Greek words ‘omoios’, meaning ‘similar’, and ‘pathos’, meaning disease. He believed that medicines should be prescribed according to the law: like shall treat like. It is an effective way to treat many varying disease conditions (mental, emotional and physical).

While conventional medicine believes that it must fight the disease bearing factor which it sees as the main cause for disease, homeopathy believes that it must strengthen the organism’s defence mechanism in order to be able to fight the imbalance.

A homeopath takes into consideration all aspects of health and considers the emotional and mental state of the patient before prescribing a remedy targeted to stimulate the body's natural powers of recovery.

Reiki therapy is based on an Eastern belief that vital energy flows through your body. A Reiki practitioner uses gentle touch -- or places their hands just above your body -- to help guide this energy in a way that promotes balance and healing.
Mikao Usui developed reiki in the 1920s. The term comes from two Japanese words: “Rei,” which means universal, and “ki,” which loosely translates to a lifeforce of energy.
Reiki may help to resolve emotional distress by allowing healing energy to flow freely throughout the body, which results in relaxation and reduced pain and tension throughout the body. It may also help reduce stress and anxiety, which can decrease pain perception as well.


Hopi Ear Candling

Hopi Ear Candling is a gentle relaxing, non-invasive soothing treatment which may offer relief to problems in the ear, nose and throat areas. It also calms the mind to combat stress and deeply relaxes all of your senses. Good for restoring pressure in the ear before flying and scuba diving. Especially useful to Hayfever sufferers.

Reflexology is a deeply relaxing, soft touch therapy that has been used for thousands of years. It has been practiced in many cultures in some form throughout the world.

Reflexology has many different benefits and is based on the theory that the organs and tissues of the body are reflected in the feet and hands.

Reflexology stimulates the body’s own natural healing response and can help to encourage homeostasis or balance in the body.

It is a holistic therapy and acknowledges that each person is an individual. Mary will put together a treatment plan that will be tailored to her clients individual needs.

I am a qualified therapist in Swedish, Indian and Thai Foot Massage. My treatment journey began 4 years ago with the Scottish Massage School, Edinburgh and recently Gateway workshops. For the past 20 years I have worked as an actor and drama facilitator which has given me an emotional intuition and awareness of my own body. Working in theatre during rehearsals and performance can be physically demanding and this is where I discovered the benefits massage can have on aching muscles as well as relaxing the body and mind. Whether you are coming along to simply switch off and relax or for specific muscle relief I will take you through a consultation and tailor your treatment to ensure you get the maximum benefit. I am a fully insured member of the Scottish Massage Therapists Association (SMTO) and adhere to SMTO’s Practice standards: Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics and follows the SMTO’s Continued Professional Development Policy, Disciplinary and Complaints Policy. I use a variety of natural waxes from Songbird with a vegan option also available. Grapeseed oil for those with sensitive skin, acne, eczema, psoriasis or nut allegies. I welcome hairy legs from both men and women so please don’t let this be a worry. I promise you it makes no difference and will not affect your massage. I will be at Napier’s, Bathgate every Friday from 09.30am – 17.30pm I look forward to meeting you!

I am a face massage therapist. I also work as a fitness instructor teaching yoga and other disciplines. I studied Public Health and Health Promotion in Poland and HND Sports Coaching course at Dundee College.

Sport has been always an integral part of my life, but as time went on, I realized how important is to keep the mind in a good condition too. I am self-employed, founder of “Mind and Body Equilibrium”, and I run mind and body classes across West Lothian.

Nowadays, people care about their bodies and minds even more than before. We have a choice how we are going to look after ourselves. I decided to undergo a “Natural Lift Facial Massage” course because I found this type of massage very beneficial for my mind and body. I started to see amazing results very quickly when doing it for myself. Because of this I decided to share this technique with other people. This treatment is a natural way to reverse many adverse effects that have already appeared to your skin. It can also delay or prevent further damage in the future. Facial rejuvenation proves that you do not need cosmetic surgery or fillers to look young. It confirms that there is no need to use any of the high-priced cosmetics to look younger. I learnt a lot from this course and from my own practice. Seeing other people happy after the treatment is very rewarding for me.

Thanos is an experienced Medical Herbalist. He studied Herbal Medicine at the University of Westminster, graduating in 2007, and went on to practice as resident herbalist at a London clinic whilst studying for his Classical Homeopathy degree at the same institution.

APPROACH TO TREATMENT Thanos’ approach to treatment is in accordance with his belief that, to a lesser or greater extent, better health is achievable by anyone who has the will and commitment to make long term changes and incorporate new, more beneficial habits into their life. Illness, and especially chronic one, can be the end result of factors and/or habits that can go back years in a person’s life and so to achieve true health it needs patience, commitment and time.

Thanos has found that blending Herbal Medicine with Acupuncture and/or Homeopathy is a very effective way to support those weakened by long-term chronic illnesses, or long term musculoskeletal issues.

Lynne Ross BA, BM Midwifery, Dip.Hyp, GHR Reg, CNHC Reg. Hi, my name is Lynne Ross, I am a fully qualified and insured Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner and Reiki Practitioner. I am based in Napiers Bathgate and provide both a professional in person and online hypnotherapy service.

My further education studies and career to date has always been people focussed. Having previously qualified as a Midwife, I encountered the powerful benefits of hypnobirthing when caring for women during their pregnancy and labour. I successfully used hypnobirthing during my own pregnancies, which stimulated my now wider interest in the power of the mind and hypnosis.

I have a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy received from the Manchester School of Coaching and Hypnotherapy. My qualifications are recognised and accredited by both the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHR) and the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

Hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of issues including anxiety, panic attacks, IBS, phobias, pain management, stop smoking, weight management and women’s health to name but a few.

My aim is to empower you to make positive, lasting changes to achieve optimal wellbeing and contentment in life. I use a variety of tools and techniques including hypnotherapy, neuro linguistic reprogramming (NLP), emotional freedom techniques (EFT), eye movement reprocessing (EMR) and Reiki.

My approach is person centred and I tailor each session specifically to your needs, everything I do is 100% bespoke for you. So, if you would like to make positive changes and take back control of your life, please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you would like to discuss how hypnotherapy can help you, I offer an initial FREE non obligation 10-minute phone consultation. The consultation is the ideal opportunity for me to find out what your goals are and to answer any questions you may have about hypnotherapy. If you would like to make positive changes and find out how we can work together, please do not hesitate to drop me an email: hello@lynnerosshypnotherapy.co.uk I look forward to hearing from you.
