Who believes they are being their complete and wholehearted authentic self. without varnishing over your truth?
I strive to be that everuday but when I think about it, I have often beenguilty of editing myself for the sake of what is expected.

Autumn teaches the body and mind a lesson in impermanence.
The slow falling leaves of red and gold mirror an inner unwinding and the practice of letting go.
Transformation is not always dramatic. It's often a thinning of the noises. A quieting of demands, and a wiser heart found in the margins of change.

While “brain rot” isn’t a clinical diagnosis, it’s become a widely recognized term to describe the mental fog, cognitive fatigue, and emotional numbness that can result from excessive consumption of low-quality digital content especially short-form, fast-paced media like TikToks, Reels, and doomscrolling news feeds.
In fact, it was named Oxford’s Word of the Year in 2024, reflecting how deeply it’s resonated across generations.
How Is It Manifesting?
Across the general population especially among Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Brain rot is showing up as:
• Reduced attention span and difficulty focusing on complex tasks
• Mental exhaustion after prolonged screen time
• Impaired memory and difficulty with recall
• Emotional desensitization and increased irritability
Low motivation and a preference for instant gratification
• Disrupted sleep and increased anxiety or depressive symptoms
These symptoms often mimic burnout or ADHD-like traits, but they’re increasingly being linked to digital overstimulation and dopamine dysregulation from constant novelty-seeking online.
Get outside. Leave the phone at home or in the car. Take the dog and family for a long woodland walk. Get involved in more physical hands on hobbies away from devices and the television. Bake, paint, garden, swimming, hillwalking, go to the beach, the forest, socialise with others, talk, sing without the phone. The body needs fresh air and oxygen that is not recycled from indoors. It aids with better sleep and regulation of emotions.

Why waves heal.
The sound of the waves does more than soothe. It recalibrates your nervous system.
Let's take a pause together to reset.

My name is Mia and I Believe in the Possibilities of the Alternative.
I am the owner of Natural Re-aligning and Healing Therapies which started up as a part-time business on 1st August 2014 while working at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary as a Care Manager. I have worked in a variety of health and care settings for 20 years, initially qualifying as a Social Worker with BA(Hons) in Social Sciences with Diploma in Social Work, COSCA Certificate in Counselling skills and INSYT Foundation Certificate in Systemic Family Therapy. I then developed an interest in complementary therapies, which I found complimented the work I was doing with young people and adults suffering from not only the physical aspects of pain but also the emotional and psychological effects of trauma, abuse and loss.
I am now qualified in a range of therapies that correct misalignments in the joints and the spine, rebalance the energy pathways and reset cellular memory thereby addressing conditions in the body caused by back and joint pain in addition to addressing the effects of chronic pain, loss, trauma and abuse.
Like many therapists my grounding started in the natural therapies of Reiki and Indian Head Massage. I gained a deep understanding of the incredible effects of energy medicine and the power of the mind with its potential to heal us from all manners of pain and discomfort. I then discovered the incredible transformational power of sound, with its ability to create change at a deep cellular level.
I use a combination of physical therapy, energy medicine and sound in my sessions, taking a holistic approach to addressing not just the physical aspects of the pain but also the emotional and psychological effects that tends to perpetuate in a persons life. Clients are reconnected with their bodies and armed with the knowledge and tools to assist them to recognise and release the behavoiurs that maintains and often spreads the pain. This holistic approach brings people to a place where they find themselves on the journey to being pain free.
