Welcome
Welcome to Jade McCarter Therapies - helping you to look after you, to be the best you, through the use of Complementary Therapies
I am a Complementary Therapist who works across East Lothian . I am a fully trained Clinical Massage and Reflexology Therapist completing my studies with The Complementary Therapy School. This is the only private training provider in the UK that offers a Univeristy (Napier University) Credit rated qualification in Massage and Reflexology .
People look to Complementary Therapies for a variety or reasons including; relaxation, managment of an existing health condition or to improve health and well being . Therapies can be helpful alone but can can also work well alongside conventional medicine .
I would be delighted to work with you therapeutically and will do my best tailor treatments to suit your needs and expectations.
Getting to know your Therapist:
My journey to becoming a complementary therapist dates back to being a child when someone very close to me used complementary therapy as a way of managing a long term health condition when conventional medicine could not find any way of helping the management of their condition. It provided them with some relief and a better quality of life. Moving on, I found I had my own challenges and started to realise to live a full , happy and healthy life we all need different things to help us along the way. This included taking 'Time Out' and looking at the root of issues rather than going for a 'quick fix'. Alongside that, I came to the conclusion that'no one size fits all' and often we need to think outside the box , looking at the all the factors surrounding a person to support them to access a life in wish they wish to be part of. Therefore holistic therapy seemed an obvious route for me! However, that wasn't before training as a nursery nurse, working with those with additional needs at the Royal Blind School, being part of a health visiting team, developing my skills as part of the NHS Infant Feeding Team , studying again!, getting married, having 2 beautiful children and becoming a very proud auntie of 4. Life is busy but good busy! Working part-time and raising my young family seems to be a good combination for me.
I currently manage my working days from my home studio but spend periods of time working alongside local charities and services.
At times you may also find me assisting as a Tutor for students studying both Clinical Massage and Reflexology .
I will look forward to meeting you if you access any of my therapies and I will look forward to hearing your 'Story'.
In the mean time please feel free to contact me directly to discuss any of the treatments offered or learn more about how to arrange your appointment .
Best wishes Jade

Small massage like techniques are used across the reflexes of the feet to restore the balance of the body which aims to promote positive wellbeing.
