<p>In 2017 a loose cooperative of holistic practitioners came together, seeking a centre to further their work. Together they founded Heather Lodge. The group’s members live on Arran and work with visitors, locals, and regular clients, some with chronic medical conditions, often with the support of local charities — ArCaS and the Mary Davies Trust. Heather Lodge, set in the grounds of the historic Douglas Hotel, was originally a stable, but had been in use as a private dwelling for many years and has an attractive and secluded garden. The premises provide several comfortable therapy rooms and a healing ambience. We have grown considerably over the years and are now able to offer a wide range of massage, yoga, therapies, physical activities, and counselling services to name but a few of the options for clients. Please see our website for more information.<br /><br />At Heather Lodge ‘holistic’ is taken to mean treatment of the whole person, including social and emotional factors, rather than just the symptoms of disease.</p>
