I have been a holistic and beauty therapist for nearly 15 years. And I love it still! I started by completing my holistic diploma, then moved on to my beauty NVQ, collecting other treatments and skills along the way. Thai massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand was particularly amazing and I am also a specialist in pregnancy massage, training first within the spa where I worked and then on to complete the prestigious Well Mother qualification with Suzanne. I have been fortunate to work in some exceptional spas including Space NK, The Dorchester and Groom based in Selfridges, London.

I have had 2 babies over the last 5 years and having them has certainly enriched my soul and my understanding of the human body, how it works and just how strong it can be, even in stages of healing or ill health. I now work from a treatment room within my home and I see a variety of clients who visit me for specialist massage, pregnancy/post natal massage and essential beauty treatments. Having the freedom to work for myself and provide clients with beautiful treatments in a truly relaxing space is very important to me. My clients benefit from my time and my understanding which enables me to then make their appointment personal and bespoke.

Mind and Body Scotland is owned by Renee who provides Hypnotherapy, aspects of pregnancy, birth and early parenting support including hypnobirthing, pregnancy massage, Doula services and Brain Working Recursive Therapy. Renee began working as a Complimentary Therapist in 2003 after training as a Reiki Master and a Massage Therapist. Specialising in Antenatal Care and Parenting Renee became a Well Mother Practitioner 2007 and then trained with NCT graduating from the University of Bedfordshire as an Antenatal Teacher 2012. At the same time she completed her training and became a recognised Birth & Postnatal Doula with Doula UK and the Scottish Doula Network.

As her work progressed Renee recognised that Hypnosis would help many of her clients, i.e. those with phantom limb pain, those for whom massage was not appropriate e.g. clients with cancer and the mums that she had been supporting for a number of years with teaching breathing, positions for labour & birth and relaxations. The needs of her clients encouraged her to train in Clinical Hypnotherapy 2014 and to go further and specialise in Hypnobirthing 2014 & 2017, Weight Management & Eating Issues 2016 & most recently Psychosexual Dysfuction 2017 and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) 2017.

Currently Renee is a Mentor of newly trained Doulas for Doula UK and a lay member of the NHS Lothian MSLC.

I work with women at every age and stage of life with a special interest in providing support before, during and after pregnancy. Using tailored, effective massage, relaxation and visualisation, birth preparation and postural awareness, we work together to help optimise your experience before and after birth, while providing much needed nurturing care and time out from your busy life.

Maternity therapies designed to support you during your pregnancy and motherhood journey. I am an experienced antenatal and parenting teacher, who combines this knowledge and insight with Wellmother massage, Sole to Soul reflexology and Metamorphic Technique . Providing an holistic experience during this very exciting but often challenging transition to motherhood

The focus of my work so far has led me down a route of massages that people can really feel making a difference during and after the massage session. Through focused work on relaxing the body the mind will follow and many clients feel deeply relaxed, calm and reinvigorated this is helpful to first time mothers as well as mothers who already have children. I also offer sessions where partners can be involved which can be very useful through pregnancy and during birth.
