Lucy, Your Holistic Therapist

I’m Lucy, mother of 2, nurse, holistic therapist & founder of ‘The Hidden Sanctuary’ located in my home town of Dumfries.

I have always been drawn to complementary therapies from a young age. I remember attending some ‘alternative medicine’ taster sessions with my mother when I was a teenager. Ever since then I was hooked and knew I wanted to learn more. In 1998 after attending a holistic therapies course at a nearby college. I successfully gained my massage & reflexology diplomas.

However, my journey took a slight detour as I decided to pursue a career in nursing. I became a registered nurse in 2005 and began working in my local Intensive Care unit. Although over the years I continued to update my knowledge of holistic therapies & gain more certificates in various types of massage, including hot stones and pregnancy massage. My love of complementary therapies only grew stronger.

 

So, the time came, I could not push away my dream any longer. 2019 became the year that I decided to listen to my heart and follow my dream. After many years of deliberating & procrastinating I took the plunge and created ‘The Hidden Sanctuary, Holistic Therapies by Lucy’.

It has been, and continues to be a wonderful journey of growth & insight for myself. I feel so grateful & fortunate to now follow this path. I am forever researching and learning new therapies and updating my skills & knowledge to bring more treatments to The Hidden Sanctuary.

I have met so many wonderful & inspirational people along the way and I’m sure I will meet many more. I look forward to what the future holds.
