Helping you on your healing journey
About Xoana
Greetings! I have been proudly rooted in the beautiful city of Edinburgh since 2010, and my journey towards holistic healing and massage services has been nothing short of transformative.
Before my current path, I spent several years employed by NHS Lothian in an office environment while pursuing studies in Human Resources Management, ultimately attaining an HNC qualification.
However, life has a way of guiding us toward our true purpose. It became increasingly evident that the office setting was not where I truly belonged. I yearned for a more profound connection with both myself and the world around me.
My voyage into holistic healing began with Reiki, a practice that I found not only fascinating but profoundly impactful. Through Reiki, I embarked on a personal healing journey, one that enabled me to confront and heal from deep-seated childhood traumas and shocks. It was a pivotal "wake-up and smell the coffee" moment in my life.
My close friend and Reiki Master, John, played a pivotal role in nurturing my growth. His unwavering support and guidance encouraged me to delve deeper into the world of holistic healing. Thanks to his mentorship, I evolved into a Master-Teacher in Reiki. It was through this journey that I serendipitously stumbled upon Tuina-Chinese Medicine Massage.
For me, chronic pain had been an enduring companion since 1988 when a tragic accident as a pedestrian left me with multiple broken bones and a persistent discomfort that hindered my mobility. Despite years of struggle, it was not until I experienced Tuina treatments administered by John that the pain began to dissipate. Tuina was the key that unlocked my physical healing and well-being to an astonishing degree. Fueled by this transformation, I was inspired to embark on a profound exploration of Tuina Therapy, driven by a sincere desire to assist others in their journey toward recovery.
My passion for holistic healing is unwavering, and I find immense fulfillment in serving and supporting my community on their path to improved health and well-being. My journey of learning and growth has encompassed a wide array of Holistic Therapies, including Reiki, Tuina, Dry and Fire Cupping, Myofascial Release Therapy, and Mindfulness.
Bringing the knowledge and wisdom of these therapies to life within my local community has been a deeply rewarding experience. It has empowered me to provide a level of care and quality that I am truly proud of as a holistic therapist.
Above all, my purpose is simple yet profound: to help people. Through my dedication to holistic healing and the diverse therapies I offer, I aspire to be a guiding light on your path to wellness, helping you discover the harmony and balance that exists within you.
Welcome to a journey of self-discovery, healing, and well-being. Together, let's embrace the transformative power of holistic healing, and I look forward to being your partner on this incredible voyage toward a healthier, more vibrant you.
