NEAL’S YARD EDINBURGH CLOSURE

It’s been 10 days now since Neal’s Yard Edinburgh closed it’s doors. You may have already heard this news, but if not I am sorry to be the bearer of this news. I’m sure that it will be sad for the many loyal customers and clients that I have seen there over the years.

I started at Neal’s Yard in 2008, and although I left to travel for a couple of years and when I had my wee one, I always came back. It has been such a pleasure to work in a women-owned and women-run business alongside a group of highly skilled therapists.

Spring brings a fresh start.

Herbal appointments will continue to be available online and in-person.
Herbal medicines will be available from me directly - still organic and sustainably sourced.

Thank you for your support and your patience in this time of transition.

Thank you to the lovely therapists, shop staff, and franchise owner Kate for all their hard work, support, and dedication over these years.

Due to a cancellation I have a 1 hour space available TOMORROW at 13.00!

Text me on 07812168294 to take it.

Goldenseal, Hydrastis canadensis. You will have probably heard about the antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects of this herb. If you have tasted the tincture you won’t forget the butter punch that this yellow medicine from the root delivers. But, who knew how beautiful the delicate little flowers were? 😃🌱🥰
