hair and beauty near Blackhall, Edinburgh

I’m Greg, a qualified pharmacist with over 10 years of experience working in healthcare, and the founder of The Holistic Pharmacist.

My work brings together my background in health and physiology with hands-on treatments designed to support physical recovery, relaxation, and overall wellbeing. I offer massage treatments and infrared light therapy that help reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, and give the body space to reset.

Many of the clients I work with lead busy or physically demanding lives - whether through work, training, or everyday stress. My treatments are designed to support the body when it’s under pressure, helping to release tight muscles, encourage recovery, and promote relaxation.

Each appointment begins with a short consultation so the treatment can be adapted to your needs on the day. Some sessions focus on deeper work to address areas of muscular tension, while others are more restorative, helping calm the nervous system and bring the body back into balance.

My aim is to provide treatments that are thoughtful, professional, and grounded in an understanding of how the body works, while creating a space where clients can fully relax and switch off.

Treating the body, supporting the mind.
