Namaste

A warm, welcoming massage studio in the heart of Finnieston, Glasgow. A mindful approach to massage, helping you let go, find stillness, and return home to yourself.

Welcome to Namaste Holistic Therapies. Founded by Emma in 2017, this cosy West End sanctuary is built on the belief that true healing happens when the mind and body rest together.

Because it is just me here, you will always receive a highly consistent, deeply personal experience. As a student of Buddhist psychology, I look at how stress, emotion, and posture intertwine in the body. I seamlessly blend advanced, targeted bodywork—like deep tissue and trigger point release—with intuitive, calming touch, clinical reflexology, and hot stones.

Every stroke and stretch is entirely customized to what you need on the day. Come as you are, and leave feeling lighter, grounded, and deeply restored.

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.

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.
