Meet the Wild Soul behind the Sanctuary!

I am so pleased you are here, I am Shoina, 49, married to Gareth, mum to Eilidh, Finlay & Melissa, mum-in law to Jordan, proud granny to Maisie, dog granny to Cooper and dog‑mum to two fluffy little souls Angus & Murdo.

After years of masking, mental health issues, chronic fatigue and a late ADHD diagnosis, I have been on a deep journey of rediscovering my authentic self, especially through the huge transition of becoming post‑menopausal after a hysterectomy.

Live music, nature, arts & crafts, laughter, and honest connection light me up, but it has been holistic therapies that have truly held me through some of my hardest chapters. Reflexology, reiki, foot reading and other gentle therapies have become the foundation of my wellbeing, the place where I finally learned to breathe again.

Most of my working life has been spent as a regulated financial planner, guiding people through the practical side of life. Before Covid, I also ran The Blue Fairy Complementary Therapies, a little spark of magic that planted the seed for what I have built for you now.

Wild Soul Sanctuary is my safe haven and I have created it to be yours too. A cosy hollow in the Scottish Highlands where you can arrive exactly as you are, unmasked, unjudged and held. A space for healing, self‑discovery, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself you may have forgotten. Every person who walks through the door is invited to be fully themselves and to explore wellbeing in a way that feels gentle, empowering and deeply human.
