Hello Everyone, I thought I’d take the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Angela MacVicar and I am a holistic therapist specialising in Eastern 5 element acupuncture and therapeutic massage and driven by a deep personal passion for natural healing and wellbeing.
My journey into holistic health began almost 20 years ago as a patient, after experiencing significant periods of ill health in my 20s where conventional primary care was unable to provide meaningful relief (that’s not a judgement or criticism of any person or system). During this time I discovered the transformative benefits of traditional Chinese medicine through a highly respected fourth-generation TCM Dr in Glasgow. Through acupuncture, massage and herbal treatments, I experienced profound improvements in both my physical and mental health—an experience that inspired my lifelong commitment to holistic therapies.
Motivated by these personal experiences, I made the decision to leave a career in addiction to pursue holistic and complimentary health. I qualified in Holistic Massage at the beginning of last year. I have also gained certification in Functional Integrated Cupping Therapy, supporting pain management and sports rehabilitation.
I am currently completing my training in Traditional Eastern Acupuncture, specialising in the Five Elements approach, and I am due to qualify in early July. The course is fully accredited through The Acupuncture Society, of which I am also a member and I am insured through Balens.
I am passionate about supporting others on their journey to better health, particularly as awareness grows around preventative health and holistic therapies in response to increasing chronic health conditions and pressures on primary care services.
My approach is compassionate, client-centred, and rooted in both personal experience and professional training, aiming to restore balance, promote wellbeing, and empower individuals to take an active role in their health.
I look forward to meeting you in the future and thanks to the community for their support❣️
