Hello and welcome to Purple Poppy Wellness.

My name is Gillian, and I am an Integrative Healthcare Practitioner (BSc (Hons)), combining hands-on therapies with a more holistic approach to wellbeing.

I run my therapy business from No. 30 The Cross in Beith.

Since its inception, Purple Poppy Wellness has grown from a passion for aromatherapy and natural skincare into a calm, supportive space offering a range of therapies, mindfulness, and wellbeing support.

With almost a decade of experience, I offer:

• A range of hands-on and energy-based treatments
• Regular mindfulness and meditation groups
• 1:1 support for stress, lifestyle, and overall wellbeing
• Workshops and wellbeing sessions for groups and workplaces (both in-person and online)

My approach blends evidence-based practice with a more holistic understanding of health, supporting both the body and mind in a way that feels realistic and achievable.

Whether you’re looking for time to relax, support your wellbeing, or take a step back and gain clarity, you’re very welcome here.

Integrative Healthcare looks beyond hands-on treatments to explore what’s really going on for you.

Together, we look at areas such as sleep, stress, lifestyle, and daily routines, helping to identify small, realistic changes that feel achievable and sustainable.

This is a collaborative and supportive process, designed to help you feel clearer, more in control, and better equipped to look after your overall wellbeing.

Whether you’re looking for individual support, or you’re a manager seeking wellbeing support for your team, Purple Poppy Wellness is here to help.

The name and the logo

My mum was always my biggest supporter, encouraging me to continue on this path and share what I do with others. When it came time to choose a name, the poppy — her favourite flower — felt like the natural choice.

Having lived in London for most of my twenties, I also felt a strong connection to the thistle and wanted to include that too.

I began sketching ideas for a logo, wanting to put my heart into what I was creating. I later shared this with my good friend Amar Ingreji, who helped bring the Purple Poppy Scotland logo to life.

Not to be confused with the wonderful Purple Poppy animal charity, which supports animals injured during times of war.

In 2020, as my work evolved to offer a wider range of wellbeing support, Purple Poppy Wellness became a name that better reflected what I do today.
