massages near Bristo Square, Edinburgh

Welcome to Douglas Caird Intuitive Holistic Therapy. Douglas is an experienced therapist, having dedicated over 25 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 worked as a volunteer counsellor at FDAMH, Falkirk’s Mental health Association.
