Hello.  My name is Janey, I am married and I live in a small Scottish east coast village called Johnshaven with my husband and our ginger and white cat Angus. We have three children a daughter and two sons who are all grown up and have left home.  The older boy is married and he and is wife have given us a beautiful grandson who brings a lot of joy into all of our lives

My interest in holistic therapies first started several years ago, as a result of a reiki session given to me by my daughter. I was so amazed by the strong images and colours experienced and as the following session left me feeling so great I felt I had to learn how to pass this on to others. Not long after this I was initiated to Level I Reiki and six months later to Level II. In addition to this I signed up for a couple of courses through the open college for Reflexology and Aromatherapy. However, at this time it was more of a hobby than a life change and the courses themselves just covered the theory behind the treatments rather than practical techniques.

This all changed when I decided to leave my very stressful job and to take the plunge and go back to college full-time to pursue my dream of becoming a therapist. The ITEC course proved to be very intensive and there were many highs and lows experienced over this year, however in the end this was all worthwhile as I attained credits for all of the exams taken.   Having carried out numerous treatments with client feedback in conjunction with life experiences to date means that I am able to relate to a range of conditions and know that each person’s experience is unique to them.

The next logical step to take was to find somewhere to work from and I am lucky to have time at Turquoise Holistic Therapies in Montrose just a few miles from where I live.

Now I feel that I am one of those lucky people who has been able to find something which I really want to do and be in the enviable position to get on and do it. And who knows, with the help I hope to give to others to lead a more balanced life in mind, body and soul maybe some of them will also be able to attain their dreams. It is a nice thought that maybe, just maybe this will prove to be the case.
