Fiona Norval sound Bath

I’ve been a beauty therapist for 25 years specialising in massage. I did my sports/remedial training 12 years ago and my hydrotherm (warm water cushions) 8 years ago. I’ve travelled all over the world doing this on cruise ships, with virgin Atlantic and even spent a few months on South Africa on a 5 star game reserve! (Owned by richard Branson!)

I’ve always been interested in holistic therapies and I trained in reiki 15 years ago doing all levels including master.

Last year I went to a sound bath and I was blown away at how wonderful and peaceful it was. I floated away to a different place entirely and afterwards knew this what I had been needing to do. I did my course last November and saved up to buy my bowls! I introduced Tibetan sound massage into my treatments at the salon in January which was a huge success with my clients. I had comments like “ I have never been so relaxed in my life” quite regularly with everyone feeling very peaceful, relaxed and like they had sunk into the bed. (I had one lady who felt like she had levitated off the bed!)

I started doing the sound baths about 6 weeks ago and again they have been very successful with wonderful feedback. I do regular sound baths where I play mainly the crystal bowls but with an interval or 2 with the Tibetan bowls and rain maker and I also do smaller chakra balancing sound baths which is ideal for 10 people. With these I do the sound bath and can also individually open up and balance all the chakras. With your event I could individually check everyone’s chakras before and focus on the blocked, slower ones.

I have been teaching yoga since 2013. I hold regular classes in Forfar and also offer workshops and retreats both in Scotland and further afield. To date I have hosted retreats in Italy and the French Alps. I have spent time travelling in both Sri Lanka and Nepal experiencing their culture and seeking my own deeper connection to self.

My yoga practice is vinyasa flow and more recently restorative and Yin yoga.

My practice aims for a beautiful connection to mind, body & soul , openness and freedom!  Each class has physical challenge, mental and spiritual awareness.

I also offer complementary therapies including reiki ( qualified to masters level), advanced reflexologist and currently studying Swedish massage ( due to complete June 2019)

The therapies integrate beautifully with yoga and really enhance energy as well as achieving a beautiful harmony and balance throughout.

I do what I do because I know the benefits that yoga and therapies have brought to my mind and body. ( too many to list!!) I'm not sure where I would be now if it wasn't for yoga. I fully believe in what I do and my aim is to share this with others to improve their health & wellbeing & ultimately their life.

In my spare time that I have  I enjoy hill walking and swimming.

Reviews

Eileen's yoga class has provided a vast amount of benefit to my family and I. Eileen creates a tranquil atmosphere to practice yoga in and you can't help but soak it up. Her passion is quite infectious. Eileen is always patient and there is never pressure to try anything you're not comfortable with. The class is varied and flows well.  I feel my anxiety levels are decreased during/after yoga and I'm more in-tune with my body (vital in this busy day and age). Sometimes during class (especially when trying different breathing variations) I experience an immense feeling of contentment and peace. On a physical level, I have increased flexibility and I believe my physical strength has increased thanks to yoga. One of my personal aims is to improve my posture and yoga is helping with this mission for sure. Improved sleep is also a massive benefit. Huge thank you to Eileen for introducing yoga to my family and I. I'd thoroughly recommend trying a class here.

**5* treatment from Eileen today, was fantastic, felt so relaxed. Il definitely be booking in again

**Wonderful relaxing break in Fife this weekend with the lovely Eileen. A great mix of yoga, pampering and some free time with lovely ladies. Eileen thought of everything- wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for a wee rejuvenation

**A friend of mine suggested we try this after a stressful week at work, we attended the Restorative Yoga and I can truly say it's one of the best things I've ever done. Eileen is absolutely fantastic at what she does. The 90 min session flew past leaving me feeling refreshed and lighter. if you haven't tried this, please, I urge you to give it a go. I will definitely be back for next months session. Thanks Eileen

**What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday morning. Thank you Eileen for guiding us through a beautiful and energising Yin Yoga workshop today at the Glenisla Hotel. I feel I really connect with Yin Yoga and loved everything about this workshop. Eileen’s classes and workshops are always excellent, it is very clear to me that Eileen puts a huge amount of her own energy into planning and preparing this for us and I am never disappointed. I feel amazing this afternoon, thanks again Eileen, namaste
