Inner Peace Facilitation

If you are a new client, or haven’t had a session with me within the last 12 months, the best way to book a session is to use the Booking Enquiry Form. This way, you will be asked to provide the information which will enable me to process your enquiry in the most efficient way.

Should you prefer, you can email at enquiries @ douglascaird.co.uk or call me on 07985350186. Please do not attempt to contact me by text, WhatsApp, Facebook or any other social media platform as I cannot guarantee receipt of your message.

In all instances, I will endeavour to respond to your enquiry within 24 hours.

Please also do not call in person to my premises at Frederick Street as there is no reception in the Business Centre and I may not be there or may be with a client, in which case I will not respond to the entrance buzzer.

*Recommended minimum time for all Initial Sessions and Holistic/Full body Massage sessions.

Occasionally, I will recommend 30 min sessions for specific issues.

I will advise you on the length of session I would recommend, depending on your reason/s for booking. This may vary from session to session.

If you are having more than one session, I offer a block booking arrangement where you can save some money. Many of my clients who have regular monthly sessions throughout the year use this arrangement.

My hope is that anyone who really wants to make positive changes in their lives – to become unstuck – can find ways to do that. If finances are a stumbling block, I am happy to talk and negotiate so that we can work together at a time when you most need support.

I accept payments by cash, cheque (made payable to Douglas Caird Intuitive Holistic Therapy), by card and mobile payments. I also offer a Direct Debit solution should this work better for regular sessions, courses of sessions, block bookings, etc.

In some circumstances, I may ask you for a deposit before confirming your booking.

See Terms and Conditions for my cancellation policy.

The first session is essentially an introduction where we get to know one another. In succeeding sessions, the way we work will usually become more focussed.

Every session will begin with a chat about how you are feeling, including any relevant aspects of your general health (if it’s your first visit, or you haven’t been for a while, you will be asked to complete a confidential Health Questionnaire before you come), where your awareness might lie at the time and any particular intention/s or goal/s you might have or wish to consider and set for the session.

Irrespective of the reason for booking the session, all aspects of your current health issue/s including emotional aspects are usually discussed here. In a safe space, this often initiates opening-up and deeper sharing. Sometimes, the talking part of the session is all we have time for and/or is enough. The value of the talking part of any session cannot be underestimated (see Listening-based Sessions).

If you’re not sure what it is that you need, we will have a conversation around this before proceeding onto whatever it is that you have come for or whatever it is that we have agreed we should work with.

The session will conclude with some time to chat, share, reflect or just to be quiet for a while.

Your own inner experience – how you feel it, integrate it and digest it is your responsibility. I will guide the session, create a sense of safety, be present with you and respond to your needs in order that the inner experience becomes easier to find/access.

Should unpleasant or challenging feelings or emotions arise, such as confusion or fear, my job is to show respect, care and a willingness to be there with you, with an open heart, eyes and ears.

I am highlighting these aspects of what we experience and what we feel as they are perfectly normal, as is the freedom to acknowledge them and to allow any resultant release, physically, emotionally or energetically to process in a safe way for you. I will support you in this.

There is always acceptance and allowing for what is needed and what naturally occurs in any session. The most important thing to remember is that, as stated above, there is no right or wrong, but rather that we progress at a pace and level that honours what is needed through your intent for the session. As our work together evolves, you will learn to become more skillful in noticing/recognising/accepting/receiving/asking for exactly what it is your body needs.

As an example, if half way through any session, you realise that you just need to be still and feel that you would like your feet held, or your hand to be held, I would invite you always to share this and ask for what it is that you feel you need. If I am happy to facilitate this, I will.

Whilst, by the nature of the work, there may be close physical contact between us, there will be no sexual interaction or implication of such involved.

I may invite you to provide some feedback or reflection in the days following your session which can be enlightening and constructive for both of us.
