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.
