About Sally

Hi, I’m Sally

If there’s one thing that’s shaped my work more than anything else, it’s curiosity. Over the years I found myself asking the same question again and again. Why do we keep defaulting to the same old, unhelpful responses? The ones we were sure we’d dealt with years ago, yet somehow they show up right on cue, often at the very moment we least need them.

That question took me on a journey I could never have predicted…The more I explored, the more I realised the answers often lay much earlier than we imagine. 

That discovery eventually led me to our earliest experiences; our time in the womb, our birth and our early childhood. Long before we had language or conscious understanding, many of the lenses through which we experience ourselves and the world first begin to form.

Along the way I explored healing and vibrational medicine from studying Aromatherapy in the late 90’s before qualifying as an Advanced Practitioner in Flower & Vibrational Medicine in 2014. Since then I’ve continued to deepen my understanding through ongoing study, reflective practice, research and, perhaps most importantly, by listening to the people who have trusted me to walk alongside them.

I’m also the creator of Inner Alchemy Essences, a range of essences that include my beloved Orchid Elixirs, all co-created to gently support emotional awareness and personal growth.

Looking back, I can see my own story has shaped this journey far more than I ever realised.I was born following significant loss within my family, arrived four weeks early myself, and years later became the mother of a premature baby. At the time I didn’t fully appreciate how much those experiences were intertwined had shaped how I viewed myself and the world around me. They became part of the thread that led me to ask deeper questions about how our earliest emotional environments continue to influence our beliefs, expectations and responses throughout life. Even more surprisingly they were exactly the type of thing that my clients were showing me too!

I’ve come to believe that these responses aren’t signs that we’re failing. More that they’re intelligent adaptations that once helped us navigate our earliest experiences. They did exactly what they were designed to do. The challenge is that they don’t always realise the world has changed.

My mission: When we begin to understand the filters through which we’ve been interpreting our experiences, and understand why, the emotional charge begins to soften, emotional capacity grows, and new possibilities naturally begin to emerge.

I also believe this work reaches far beyond the individual.

If we can begin to understand our own earliest experiences, we also have an opportunity to create healthier emotional environments for future generations. To me, that’s where this work becomes truly meaningful.

Today, my work brings together everything I’ve learned over the last 28 years. The various therapies, vibrational medicine, ongoing study, lived experience and thousands of conversations with people who simply wanted to understand themselves that wee bit better.

I’m still learning, still curious, and still asking questions, and in many ways, I hope I always will be.

When I’m not working you’ll usually find me at home in Glasgow with my husband and our two wonderfully entertaining Australian Labradoodles, obsessing over my ever growing orchid collection,  star gazing, on a rare clear and dry Scottish night, or simply enjoying a good cuppa, and of course constantly asking more questions!
