Douglas was very warm and welcoming. He very easily put me at ease. I suffer from anxiety. He talked through my options for a massage and demonstrated the massage chair. I opted for that. The experience was incredible. So relaxing and so fulfilling. I felt so positive afterwards. All my stress had melted away. I have already booked my next session. I highly recommend Douglas Caird.

The Healing Herb Man
I had an excellent experience at the hands of Douglas. On arrival I was immediately put at ease, offered a herbal tea and a chat about what I wanted to gain from the treatment - once on the table the techniques speak for themselves and prove how throughly knowledgable he in his field. The heated towels, choice of oils and aromatherapy options really enhanced the experience. More...

Douglas is EXCELLENT. He has a relaxed and kind manner which made me feel relaxed as soon as i met him. He was thorough and genuine in his approach…and the massage/holistic healing was incredible. As much as i enjoyed it at the time, it was a day later when i truly felt the benefits from him releasing my stresses and tensions, allowing me to feel totally renewed. I would not hesitate in recommending Douglas to anyone, and have done so already! More...

Recently, I have been receiving regular acupuncture treatments and the improvement in my energy levels, health, mood, and well being are quite frankly incredible. Charmaine provides an empathic space where patients feel safe and supported. This, in my experience, is a rare thing. Charmaine provides a space where she supports patients emotionally and physically, fostering pro-active recovery and future well being. I can't recommend it enough. More...

First class advice and treatment. Charmaine gets to the heart of the problem, dealing with the causes not just the symptoms. Has a kind and understanding bed side manner and never in a hurry to push you out the door. Under no obligation or pressure and won't push you to carry on any treatment that is not necessary. Totally recommend, has had a big impact on our family health for the better! More...

I have been seeing Charmaine monthly or so for Biofeedback for 9 years, and cannot recommend her and Biofeedback highly enough. I am 70 now and very fit and on no medication, because the regular check ups have identified and dealt with the minor things that have arisen, and stopped them turning into major things. I wish every doctor used a Biofeedback machine for diagnosis - it would save so much suffering, and make their jobs so much easier. I would especially recommend a session if you have confusing symptoms the doctor can't diagnose, or just for an MOT if you're feeling OK. More...

“Fantastic massage, combined with high intuitivity and Reiki- repairing the body and mind”
Each and every time i have a massage, Douglas never fails to amaze me as he intuitively works the tension out of my body, adding Reiki to the recipe where he feels it is needed.
He selects specific oils for the situation. Douglas has a very gentle warm nature allowing clients to relax with ease. I highly recommend Douglas and plan to try some of his other therapies.

Because of Duggi's intuitive gifts, each session is different and always very therapeutic. Usually I have a very potent combination of massage, reflexology and reiki. I could not ask for more, which is why I'm still seeing him! Joannie Minto More...

Intuitive Massage
The massage I offer is the massage that I feel intuitively is right for YOU at the time of the treatment, and based on my training and experience. I am trained in Traditional Swedish Massage and Holistic Massage, Deep Tissue and Aromatherapy Massage Techniques, Hot Stone Massage, Indian Head Massage (Champissage) and Ayurvedic Massage Techniques.
I offer an Integrated Massage which is based on incorporating a range of techniques within a massage, based upon how you are feeling at the time of the treatment and on my intuition as the treatment progresses.
I am happy to offer massage during pregnancy after the first trimester.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflexes in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is a unique system of manual techniques designed to therapeutically stimulate these reflexes, allowing the Reflexologist to locate and dissipate stagnant energy in the body to facilitate a more balanced energy flow. This aids the body in returning to a state of wholeness and homeostasis. A Reflexology treatment can be one of the most relaxing experiences imaginable, easing the body into a state of least resistance and thereby allowing a process of natural and uninterrupted “self-healing” to occur.
This treatment is suitable during pregnancy after the first trimester.
Reiki
Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique using “Universal Life Force Energy”, the energy that is flowing abundantly around and within all living things.
When we are in excellent health, there is a powerful flow through the body. However, during stressful times, this energy flow is slowed down or restricted, manifesting as illness, mental or emotional upset or a general feeling of “out of sorts”.
Reiki is a way of channelling energy through the hands of an attuned practitioner, which are placed on or above different parts of the client’s fully clothed body. Reiki re-balances and harmonises the recipient in a holistic way on a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual level and accelerates the body’s own natural healing process. The healing energy flows to wherever it is needed in the body; promoting deep relaxation and a feeling of profound wellbeing and greater inner calm.
Suitable for people of all ages and in all states of health and can help to kick start your body’s own natural healing abilities bringing you back to a more healthy and balanced state. I work with the Usui System of Reiki.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy unlocks the healing power of the unconscious mind to restore harmony both physically and mentally. Hypnosis is a state of profound relaxation, helping you to become inwardly focused on the solutions to problems. It helps you access your natural intelligence focusing your unconscious mind on overcoming a variety of problems and limitations. Like daydreaming, you are in control, at all times, in this ‘trance’ state.
I also offer Past Life Regression Therapy.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
EFT is a remarkable system for addressing all kinds of emotional problems. It was developed from TFT (Thought Field Therapy), the first discovery in energy psychology. EFT is a psychological version of acupressure, incorporating methods from Ancient Chinese Medicine and modern-day Applied Kinesiology.
EFT is a gentle and non-invasive technique which is painless and has no known side effects. It is a process that involves tapping on energy meridians whilst tuning into an issue. The basis of EFT is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. EFT balances the body’s energy system, removing any disturbance to the energy flow. As the basic technique is easily learned, it can be taught to anyone to use as a self-healing tool for any issues in their lives. It thus becomes a method of EMPOWERING people to take control in any negative situation. Commonly, EFT is used to help with everyday fears, phobias, cravings and addictions.
