My Name:
Renee McBride
What We Do:

Mind and Body Scotland is owned by Renee who provides Hypnotherapy, aspects of pregnancy, birth and early parenting support including hypnobirthing, pregnancy massage, Doula services and Brain Working Recursive Therapy. Renee began working as a Complimentary Therapist in 2003 after training as a Reiki Master and a Massage Therapist. Specialising in Antenatal Care and Parenting Renee became a Well Mother Practitioner 2007 and then trained with NCT graduating from the University of Bedfordshire as an Antenatal Teacher 2012. At the same time she completed her training and became a recognised Birth & Postnatal Doula with Doula UK and the Scottish Doula Network.

As her work progressed Renee recognised that Hypnosis would help many of her clients, i.e. those with phantom limb pain, those for whom massage was not appropriate e.g. clients with cancer and the mums that she had been supporting for a number of years with teaching breathing, positions for labour & birth and relaxations. The needs of her clients encouraged her to train in Clinical Hypnotherapy 2014 and to go further and specialise in Hypnobirthing 2014 & 2017, Weight Management & Eating Issues 2016 & most recently Psychosexual Dysfuction 2017 and Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) 2017.

Currently Renee is a Mentor of newly trained Doulas for Doula UK and a lay member of the NHS Lothian MSLC.

What We Do:

LE TOUCHER est le premier sens développé par le fœtus. Premier sens à développer chez la sage-femme, témoin privilégié de la plus belle des aventures humaines.
Depuis plus de vingt ans, j'aime écouter avec mes mains ces germes de vie qui poussent sous les jolis ventres ronds. Moments toujours magiques !
J'ai exercé dans tous les domaines autour de la naissance : du CHU, aux petites maternités et même en dispensaire.
Je pratique le shiatsu depuis 15 ans.
Par ses trois aspects fondamentaux, médecine manuelle, préventive et holistique, la pratique du Shiatsu complète merveilleusement la pratique de la Sage-Femme, clinicienne et gardienne de la physiologie de la grossesse et de l'accouchement.
Par le toucher et l'écoute, ces deux pratiques complémentaires aident à apporter mieux être à la future mère et à créer le lien mère-enfant, base fondamentale de toute qualité de relation humaine.

What We Do:

Je suis sage-femme depuis 1989, formée à la sophrologie, ayant travaillé en clinique pendant plus de 20 ans. Actuellement en exercice libéral depuis 6 ans, j’ai découvert avec bonheur le shiatsu avec Aline Duclos, praticienne certifiée Well Mother, au cours d’une formation pour les sages-femmes en 2015, à Paris.
J’ai pu développer mon sens du toucher, et expérimenter pour moi-même également les bienfaits de cette discipline.
En 2017/2018, j’ai pu parfaire ma pratique avec Aline et obtenir la certification Well Mother « Outils de shiastu pour la sage-femme ».
Avec les futurs parents que je reçois, nous travaillons à préparer la naissance dans une optique très naturelle, avec le travail postural et la liberté de mouvement, avec l’enseignement de points clés spécifiques au papa, ce qui leur permet vraiment de vivre la naissance de leur enfant en couple.
J’ai également l’occasion de donner des shiatsus à mes patientes, en pré et post natal.
Pour la femme enceinte, le shiatsu est essentiel pour libérer le corps de ses tensions, et canaliser ses émotions. Il maintient l’équilibre du corps, dans ce temps de la grossesse où il est en constante adaptation, ainsi que la connexion avec le bébé.
Par sa lenteur, sa profondeur, il permet de respecter le temps de la nature.

Annie Minnaar - Massage therapist | Doula | Scotland
My Name:
Annie Minnaar
What We Do:

Hi! I am a Complementary Therapist, Doula and Yoga teacher based in Fife, Scotland.

My passion for supporting others through holistic health and wellbeing started early on. After completing a Reiki certification in 2010, I went on to become an ITEC qualified Complementary Therapist in 2012.

Over the years since, I furthered my skills as a Massage Therapist, with a yearlong internship in Remedial and Deep Tissue Massage. I specialised in Pregnancy, Birth and Postpartum Massage with WellMother in 2020. I also offer my services as a Birth & Postnatal Doula, being a member of the Scottish Doula Network. More recently, I completed a Yoga Teacher Training and went on to deepen my study into Pregnancy Yoga.

My bodywork focuses on supporting my clients to enter a deep state of relaxation, easing muscle tension and stress. My treatments restore the "rest and recover" aspect of the nervous system, promoting the body's own natural healing mechanisms. I truly care about those around me and feel a humble sense of joy and gratitude in supporting my clients. My empathetic nature and peaceful energy shine through my work and I strive to be there for my clients so that they can feel empowered, listened to and cared for. I am passionate about my work, which is motivated by kindness, compassion and love.

I currently offer my services in and around Fife and in Edinburgh City Centre.

Hadi Therapy
My Name:
Anna Maria Stubbs
What We Do:

I’m a Massage Therapist, Doula, nature lover, poet and artist. I have been a massage therapist for 8 years, prodominantly working mobile and I also work at the Spa & Massage branches around London. I completed my Wellmother Pregnancy Massage Diploma 3 years ago in 2020. I believe massage is an essential therapy as it allows a safe space for the client to experience a holistic mind & body connection alongside multiple physical health benefits. I habitually have a very nurturing and soothing energy which allows a tranquil environment, assisting my clients in feeling at home with themselves, externally and internally.

Working with pregnant people has continually provided insight into my love of connecting a mother with her internal intuitive awareness through her journey in carrying and birthing life. This has taught me how fundamental it is for the mother to be in tune with mindfully nurturing themselves and her child, especially during pregnancy. Resonating with the unconditional love that radiates a mother's being when nurturing her baby was greatly influential to how I continually endeavour to help others through doula support and massage therapy. I continually expand my knowledge in mindfulness, psychology, trauma, spirituality, nutrition and holistic remedies which reflects in my gentle and intuitive approach.

I offer a range of massages which I can combine or adapt to your specific needs, including; Pre-natal & Postnatal massage, Sweidish massage, Deep Tissue massage & Natural Face-Lifting massage. Additionally my massage & Doula services are available in-home & mobile.
