Sam Gray
FOUNDER, HOLISTIC & SPORTS MASSAGE, YIN YOGA
I’m Sam – a holistic and sports massage therapist passionate about helping people reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and live life in full. For me, massage therapy is more than a treatment – it’s a way to deeply listen to your body, to connect, and to hold space for healing, growth, and vitality.
Opening Fern Bothy in 2025 is a natural extension of that mission – a nurturing space where people in the community can access therapeutic care, and where like-minded people can come together, collaborate, and support one another.
Not one to sit still for long, I love being active and getting out into nature – whether it’s exploring the woods, hills, or coastline with the family and our dog, heading out on the bikes, plunging into the sea, or gliding along on a paddle board. Movement and connection with nature are a big part of what keeps me grounded and inspired in my work.
At the heart of everything I do is the belief that we all deserve to feel well, whole, and supported.
Available every Monday-Thursday.
Mel Auld
BIO-ENERGY HEALING
My name is Mel Auld and I'm a bio-energy healing practitioner. After experiencing the incredible results of energy healing for myself, I am passionate about helping others find relief from physical, mental and emotional issues. When I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and conventional medicine couldn't help, I sought the help of an energy healer who not only led me back to full health, but sparked a passion for energy healing.
Energy medicine is a holistic healing method with origins in almost every ancient civilization in the world. It is safe for everyone.
Your amazing body holds all the keys to healing; I simply stimulate your own body to heal itself. You CAN feel better.
Whether you are experiencing physical pain or mental and emotional issues such as low-mood, anxiety, emotional upset or stress related conditions, bio-energy therapy can help. It can help with headaches, hormonal imbalances, aches and pains, digestion issues, insomnia, back pain, shoulder and neck pain. The list goes on. We are not treating the symptom - we are seeking the root cause and treating your whole system. This often results in unexpected changes in other areas of your life.
Energy healing can also help you break free from entrenched patterns and release limiting beliefs, allowing you to reach fresh heights of health, well-being, vitality, and fulfillment.
Available every Thursday.
Tyler Quinn
Originally from Perth Western Australia, the first degree I studied was Sports Science, and after completing this I worked as a personal trainer for a couple of years. I have a strong interest in sports and exercise and have previously worked with amateur football teams while at University.
I decided to take a couple of years off to travel in the US and Canada. Once I returned to Oz I decided to go back to university and study Chiropractic. Although a total of 8 years at university was a looong time, it was the best decision I have ever made, and the benefits I see from Chiropractic care make the job very rewarding . I am now in my 7th year of practice and have split that time working 50/50 between Scotland and Australia, so as you can imagine I have treated people from all walks of life. After welcoming our baby boy, Hudson in August 2024, my wife Sarah and I decided to make the move back to Scotland to be closer to Sarah’s family.
I use a mixture of interventions, including manipulation/adjustments and some soft tissue techniques like dry needling and trigger point therapy. I also advise on basic nutrition/lifestyle choices and prescribe exercises. I also have a strong interest in sports and have previously done some sports training with Amateur football teams while at universities.
Available every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
CHIROPRACTOR
Romas Vizgirda
I’m Romas, a holistic massage therapist and the founder of Fois, proud to join Fern Bothy’s wellness community.
Like many in the wellness industry, I believe in the power of touch and holistic healing to transform lives. But what sets me apart is my unique approach: I see massage as a gateway to empowerment. I don’t just relieve tension—I guide clients to tap into their inner wisdom, helping them become stronger, healthier, and more aligned with their authentic selves.
Right now, I’m focused on expanding my practice to offer deeply intuitive experiences. By combining massage with mindfulness techniques, I help clients achieve a harmonious balance—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
My ultimate vision is to create a world where everyone feels empowered to take charge of their well-being, using their body’s natural intelligence to live vibrant, fulfilling lives.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I’d love to support you. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
Available every Monday.
HOLISTIC MASSAGE THERAPIST
Liz Thomas
I’m a Reiki Master Practitioner (Usui Reiki Ryoho, Level III) and a Community Herbalist with a deep passion for helping families feel more balanced and supported in their wellbeing.
I work with people of all ages, but I especially love working with children. My journey into Reiki and Herbalism began as a way to support my own kids—it’s a bit of a long story (and if you know me, you know I love a long story!)—but what I can say is that these practices have been truly life-changing and deeply affirming for me and my family.
During a session with me—whether it’s for you or your child—we’ll use Reiki’s gentle, hands-on healing approach to support the body’s natural self-healing abilities. I also incorporate Herbalism to offer thoughtful suggestions that can support ongoing wellbeing outside of our time together.
If you or your child are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or just a little out of balance, I’d love to connect and see how these practices might help you feel more grounded and supported.
You can learn more about Reiki, Herbalism, and my approach at: www.thehoneybeesanctuary.org
Available Wednesday 14th May, Wednesday 4th June and Wednesday 2nd July.
HERBALIST AND REIKI MASTER

As a mum of three, I understand the demands of life and the need for true self-care. My journey into massage began in my teens, and after years in the corporate world, I returned to my passion, driven by a desire to help others (and myself!) find balance and well-being.
I offer more than just a massage; I provide a tailored experience that addresses your unique needs, blending Swedish, Remedial, and Sports massage techniques with a holistic approach. I believe in the powerful connection between mind and body, and I'm dedicated to alleviating pain and restoring harmony.
Expect kind, caring, and safe hands, and a treatment that's as unique as you are. My goal is to empower you to live your best life, free from physical and emotional limitations. Let's work together to unlock your optimal well-being.

Juliana Dorman
SWEDISH, SPORTS & REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPY, KCR, CUPPING & REIKI
I am Juliana and I look forward to being part of the diverse team at Fern Bothy and bringing my own talents to the area.
As a massage therapist I work mainly in Livingston West Lothian where I have been based since starting physical therapies full time.
As a qualified personal trainer and yoga instructor I understand all too well the limits and problems with injuries, restrictions and how to treat them. So I began my journey into massage with Kinetic Chain Release (KCR), a realignment protocol in 2013 and built on that with sports massage, Swedish massage, TCM cupping therapy and Dry Needling to name a few, bringing healing with Reiki in at the beginning of 2024. Leaving personal training behind in 2018 to concentrate on this.
Being able to relieve pain, return full range of movement and make someones quality of life better, is why I do what I do. I rarely use one technique to get the results required but I pride myself on being able to pin point an issue and treat it successfully.
I love the sea and go paddle boarding and dipping year round, though in the winter it’s getting out of the water thats the hard bit!
Available Thursday evenings from 3pm on Thursday 19th June, Thursday 24th July, Thursday 28th August.
Gillian Pringle
LYMPHATIC FACIALIST, LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE & BUCCAL MASSAGE
I believe that true skin health comes from within and my philosophy is all about nurturing both beauty and wellness. My commitment to lifelong learning has taken me from Los Angeles to Europe , where I learned to blend modern techniques with holistic methods.
My approach combines lymphatic drainage with facial sculpting, Gua Sea, and buccal massage to help you feel not only radiant on the outside but balanced on the inside too. Inspired by my years in California, I embrace a relaxed, natural approach that encourages the body’s own healing powers.
Available Tuesday 27th May 3pm-9pm, June and July dates coming soon.
