Welcome to Douglas Caird Intuitive Holistic Therapy, Edinburgh. Douglas is an experienced therapist, having dedicated over 20 years to working as a full-time professional practitioner. His treatments are nourishing, restorative and balancing and focus on gently relieving physical and emotional build-up, holding and tensions from stress and anxiety. Douglas will encourage and support you in making the most of your session – for your experience to be the one that is most helpful to you.

Douglas’s massage (originally Swedish based) can be described as nourishing holistic massage and bodywork in that it intrinsically encompasses elements of all the approaches he works with. Integrated sessions are also encouraged, where a combination of treatments are used to work with you in the most appropriate way on the day.

With a wholly person-centred approach, Douglas encourages working in a way in which your session can be tailored to suit your needs on the day and can be changed at any time. You can therefore book the treatment/s that you know you want, or just book an open session and decide on the day, after consultation.

Initially qualified in reflexology he then trained in massage and reiki (master level), clinical hypnotherapy and emotional freedom techniques. In 2024, he completed a 2 year diploma in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy.

Douglas has worked in a variety of clinic settings in Edinburgh and Gloucestershire, including a 3 year period as a senior therapist in 2 high-end rural spas. During this time he taught massage, Indian head massage and spa therapies (BTEC) at Stroud college. He works as a volunteer counsellor at FDAMH, Falkirk’s Mental health Association.

Getting There:

• Belgrave Business Centre is located at 45 Frederick Street, EH2 1EP, next to Rosa's Thai Restaurant. You will see a sign for Douglas Caird Intuitive Holistic Therapy on the wall to the right of the doorway. Ignore the entrance buzzers at the door and come straight upstairs to the second (top) floor. There are signposts on the way up to guide you. At the top level, enter the first doorway and press buzzer 1.7 adjacent to the inner door. If you forget the buzzer number, there is a large poster on the wall to guide you. I will come out and meet you.
• There is no reception or receptionist at the business centre. Please arrive as close to your appointment time as possible. Should you arrive too early, I may be with someone or out of the building and unable to let you in.
• If someone is accompanying you, they will be unable to stay within the business centre to wait for you. Although there are chairs in the hallway, they are solely for your use whilst waiting for your session.
• There are 2 flights of stairs to climb and a further flight of stairs inside, should you wish to use the toilet.
• I would advise allowing an extra 15 mins. onto the length of your appointment for flexibility. It would also be useful to know if you need to be finished by a definite time, for example, if you are on a parking meter, or need to be back at work, etc.

Touch is essential. In a world that moves fast and demands more, the healing power of human touch grounds us, restores us, and brings us back into balance. At Touch Holistic Therapy, massage is more than physical relief — it is a mindful experience that supports your entire wellbeing.

The City Zen Sanctuary offers professional therapeutic bodywork in Edinburgh, including Shiatsu, Deep Tissue massage, and Back, Neck & Shoulders treatments, supporting people with stress, tension, pain, and ongoing physical or emotional strain.

Clients book different treatments depending on what they need in the moment:

• Back, Neck & Shoulders massage for focused relief of tension and desk-related strain
• Deep Tissue massage for chronic tightness, restricted movement, or muscular discomfort
• Shiatsu for more holistic support, working with the nervous system, energy balance, and overall wellbeing

All sessions are tailored to the individual and begin with a short consultation. Depending on your needs, treatments may combine elements of different approaches to achieve the most effective outcome. Shiatsu treatments are usually received fully clothed.

Many clients come to the City Zen Sanctuary when they:

• Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or physically run down
• Experience recurring tension or pain that keeps returning
• Want more than a relaxing massage and are seeking therapeutic support
