Photo of Celia

I'm Celia and I am a Usui Reiki Practitioner and Crystal Healing specialist. Reiki and crystals changed my lifestyle and way of thinking and I love to pass on my experience and knowledge to help others to bring a little calm and self-love into their lives. If you have a problem, I have a crystal for that! I am a firm believer that nature is a healer, so in my spare time you will find me deep in a forest hugging a tree or walking barefoot along a beach. I look forward to sharing my energy with all at Black Heart and giving you all a good energy cleanse and recharge.

Hi! I’m Nikki, I have 18 years of experience as a hairdresser. I’ve only been working part-time the last few years around my children but now my youngest is off to school & I’m excited to be joining Black Heart Training Academy and welcome all clients old & new! I love my job; I love seeing the transformation in people from when they first sit in my chair to when they leave. Colour changes are my favourite & I enjoy working with my clients to create a perfect individual style for them. When I’m not in the salon you will find me at the beach... my favourite place to be!

Hi, my name is Jan and I am a Usui Reiki practitioner and Master. I absolutely love what I do and my aim is to always help others. Some of the treatments I offer include Reiki Healing, Quan Yin Heart and Soul Attunement, Indian Head Massage and Holistic Facials. Through each of these treatments, I want to help bring calmness and healing to your mind, body and soul. Outside of work, you will find me by the sea or in the woods. These are my favourite places where I feel happy and relaxed and I am able to recharge my energy levels. I look forward to being part of the team at Black Heart Academy.

Photo of Kylie

My name is Kylie and I have a passion for massage. I've been qualified for 20 years and have worked on cruise ships and also in a 5-star hotel and spa for 8 years in Edinburgh. I am skilled in many different styles and techniques of massage that I now combine to make my own technique. Each treatment is unique and tailored to suit each client's individual needs using my own blend of essential oils to help uplift, relax or rejuvenate your mind and body. I also use hot stones to warm and relax the muscles, making the whole experience that much more indulgent. It's your time and treatment so if you want a 5-star experience, book in with me today.
