My Approach to Helping

I believe in people and I believe in life. In my experience there are no bad or hopeless people, only ones who feel frightened and alone, whose self confidence has been shaken or destroyed. For some of us the depth of our misery and pain has been shaped over many years, for others it is the reaction to too many challenges when our batteries are low. We are all capable of finding the core of peace and plenty inside ourselves - whether you call this place self, higher self, or feel that it is that part of you connected to the universe. It is very real, and findable, and the journey of finding and owning this self is the door to loving life, and loving yourself - and when you can do that that anything can happen. I use many tools learned over the years, for I am committed to self growth. But always the change that I am encouraging are an open and positive attitude and true self-acceptance.

More Info About My Practice

My business, Ashwhin, is a living entity, growing and expanding in reflection of my own developments and interests. Along with the counseling and life coaching, I offer reiki, reflexology, massage, and metamorphic technique. Ashwhin welcomes people who live and visit this wonderful part of Scotland, and we are now able to offer you a chance to stay in our holistic retreat. At the moment this is one lovely flat (apartment) overlooking the sea, however in the future we hope to expand our facilities - keeping in mind the fact that one of our most special attributes is a sense of homeliness and safety. Green issues are central to the way we live, and we feel that they are the perfect match for holistic health - healthy mind, calm emotions, buoyant heart, body full of energy on a cherished planet. You have to live how you believe to make a difference - thanks what I think anyway. Please visit our website to learn more about the retreat and our flower essences, that work like homeopathy for the emotions.
