Welcome!

Hello and Welcome to the Purple Poppy Wellness website!

My name is Gillian and I am a Complementary Therapist with a BSc in Integrative Healthcare.

I run my therapy business from number 30 at The Cross, in Beith.

Since its inception, Purple Poppy Wellness has grown from a platform for sharing my passion for aromatherapy and natural skincare into a comprehensive wellness service. With over eight years of experience, I offer a diverse range of services, including:

  • An extensive selection of hands-on and energy healing treatments
  • Regular mindfulness and meditation groups
  • Personalised 1:1 advice on stress management and wellness
  • Evidence-based wellness workshops for groups and workplaces, available both online and in-person

As a qualified professional, I am dedicated to using evidence-based research to create and deliver effective wellness, women’s health, and stress management programs. Whether you’re seeking individual support or looking to enhance the well-being of your team, Purple Poppy Wellness is here to help.

What is integrative health?

As part of my studies in Integrative Healthcare, I have studied a variety of health concepts, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This qualification allows me to provide a holistic approach to wellness. When working with Integrative Healthcare clients, we go beyond hands-on therapy to closely examine all aspects of their health and wellness. Together, we set small, achievable goals to help them reach their overall wellness objectives. Whether you’re an individual seeking personalised care or a manager looking to enhance your team’s well-being, Purple Poppy Wellness is committed to supporting your journey to optimal health.

Thanks for visiting, Gillian.

My Mother was always my biggest supporter, encouraging me to continue on this path and share “my gifts” with other people.  So when it came time to pick and name I chose the Poppy, her favourite flower.  Living in London for almost 8 years made me quite patriotic so I also wanted to include the Thistle.  I began drawing sketches of a logo, wanting to put my heart and soul into this venture I surrounded the words in a heart.  I gave this rough sketch to my good friend (Amar Ingreji) and with some of his editorial talent the Purple Poppy Scotland logo was born.

Not to be confused with the fantastic animal charity Purple Poppy, which raises money for animals injured during times of war.

In 2020, while the world was in lockdown, my business evolved and grew to offer a wider range of Wellness solutions. Purple Poppy Wellness felt like a more appropriate name.
