Holistic Therapies, Retreats and Bowen Training

Hands-on therapies and restorative retreats, rooted in the Scottish Highlands and reaching across the UK. I also offer professional Bowen Therapy training for those called to learn this powerful modality.

Whether you’re seeking pain relief, recovery from injury and illness, or a new career path in therapeutic practice, you’re in safe, experienced hands.

Hello, I’m Helen

I’m a holistic therapist, Bowen teacher and retreat host with a deep belief in the body’s ability to heal when given the right support. My approach is gentle, respectful, and rooted in over two decades of hands-on experience.

If you’d like to know more about how I work — and how I got here — I’d love to share my story with you.

Faebait Apartment was amazing. It was immaculate and comfortable. Brian was friendly, helpful, and kind. There were wonderful walks to take from the apartment and many things to do close by. It was also a great place to base out of for seeing things a bit further away—we went to Applecross and Dunrobin Castle. Highly recommend!

All of us were really in awe when we arrived. The location is very peaceful and quiet. We immediately felt at home. The nearby trail was special to us too, and we even met a neighbour and welcomed us. The hosts were really nice people and very hospitable. We will definitely pick this bnb again if we plan to go to the highlands.

Everything in the house was pristine, everything you could think you needed was catered for. Even had a welcome pack. The house location is very close to Muir of Ord but you could be 50 miles away as it is so peaceful. The surrounding area is beautiful. The price is very reasonable and we were lucky to find this gem. I will not hesitate when back in the area to hopefully rebook another stay.

A beautiful stay at Brian & Helen’s home. The house was exactly as described, set in the middle of nature with full privacy and a very quiet area. It truly felt like home, and the hosts were very supportive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

I loved learning the Bowen technique and having an understanding of what is happening when I receive a treatment too. I highly recommend Helen as a teacher!

I’m pain free after 3 sessions…. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t hurt, I can’t thank Helen enough for what she has done for me so far.

Helen is both intuitive and very effective! She provides much needed pain relief (both physical and emotional) and leaves me feeling in a far better place after each session. She is trustworthy and an excellent communicator too which I find really beneficial.
