Wild-Ness Retreats, offers medically-led wellness retreats at Bearnock Lodge, a grand home set amidst mountains and forests just a few miles from Glen Affric.

The founder Dr Katharine Jones, a GP and accredited lifestyle medicine physician, leads a team of medical experts, holistic therapists and creative artists, to offer a range of educational events open to all, in addition to specialised courses for health professionals, holistic therapists and coaches.

Blending scientifically proven information and activities to promote wellbeing and prevent, treat and reverse long-term conditions, Wild-Ness also aims to make a positive contribution to the local “wellbeing economy” by encouraging visitors to stay longer, in particular during the off season, and increase trade to the vibrant artisan small business scene that exists throughout the Highlands.

Lifestyle Medicine is a new medical speciality that supports people with long-term health concerns in making small changes in their life to achieve big health gains. The approach uses motivational interviewing, a coaching technique that helps people work out what matters to them and encourages self-empowerment in addition to providing expert medical information about nutrition, activity, sleep, stress management, harmful substances and relationships.

Hi, I'm Hilary, thanks for stopping by!

I'm passionate about finding freedom around food, and helping others to do the same.  A phobia of food as a child resulted in an extremely restricted diet which led to years of chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression as well as a Binge Eating Disorder.  For the past three decades, I've been exploring the connection between what we eat and how we feel, which led to qualifying as a Nutritional Therapist, Sugar Addiction Coach, and Plant Based Chef.

I now live a life free from sugar and ultra-processed food and am studying towards a Food Addiction Recovery Coach certification so I can help food addicts gain control of their food, health, and well-being.

The Sweet Escape is a new Food Freedom Collective that aims to provide helpful resources, support, and lifestyle tips based on my studies, scientific research, and my own personal recovery journey. I want to help you firstly understand what food addiction is and secondly all the ways that it's possible to kick the habits and find a life free from the shackles of food. All while shining a light on the practices of the media, food companies, and governments that keep us stuck in cycles of addiction, opting for processed foods over natural produce.

If you’re looking for some tips and inspiration on how to cut down on sugar and processed foods, integrate more natural foods into your diet and lifestyle, or if you're struggling with food addiction yourself and need some support, join me on Substack where I share articles and newsletters via The Sweet Escape. It’s a safe community space open to everyone and free from advertisements and algorithms, so you can learn and also connect with others on your journey to food freedom.

You can also find me on Instagram @foodfreedomcollective

I'll share any upcoming events, workshops, courses, and other ways to work with me via both those platforms, but please do also reach out to me personally to connect.

I’m Sharon Tait the owner of
Stait of Mind Ltd - Clinical Hypnotherapy & NLP

I had PTSD, anxiety, depression, binge eating, binge drinking issues and the rest. This was my life for years. After being in a violent relationship with an ex. I was left traumatised but didn’t realise at the time. Too busy just pushing my feelings aside, pretending I was “fine” - until I couldn’t do that any longer. I had a mini stroke. I was not “fine”.
I needed to make changes, I needed to start to heal - so I did.
I wasted a lot of time and effort with counselling at the beginning, it just made me feel worse. Bringing it all up to the surface with no change involved.
I knew medication was not what I was looking for either.
Now I know these things are helpful for some people and that’s great. Not me.
I needed a REAL CHANGE. A deeper change.
When I discovered HYPNOTHERAPY. I remember thinking to myself “Why the f*ck is everyone not doing this?” 😄
I felt better and couldn’t even understand how or why - but I did.
We don’t need to KNOW we need to TRUST.
We are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for.
We just need the right guidance and support.
Then our own mind and body can heal themselves, same way they do with a cut on the hand. They know. Healing is natural for the body when we provide the right conditions.
I now have no PTSD symptoms at all. No anxiety or mental health issues that I was experiencing in the past.

I’m now a Clinical Hypnotherapist with 8 years experience running a busy Glasgow clinic.
I have a Diploma in Analytical Hypnotherapy & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from The Academy of Integrated Hypnotherapy which is fully accredited by General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).

Specialising in changing the way people think of Hypnotherapy.

If you have ever “zoned out” during driving, watching a movie or reading a book then you have naturally slipped into a state of Hypnosis. Meaning you can be Hypnotised or guided into a deeply relaxed state of mind. Then that state is then used to focus on the area of change at a deeper level.

Also a Certified Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming from The Scottish Centre of NLP. Updates in neuroscience are proving how valuable these techniques really are for deep rooted re-programming. If your mind seems like it’s against you - it’s not. It’s just following old programs. You need an update. Let me help. 🤓
A trauma release expert with 8 years of experience working to help men, women and children to overcome anxiety, stress, various mental health issues in a natural way.

Also, I’m An energy worker with a keen interest in how the body works in connection with the mind. We can make ourselves sick with worry, by thought alone. Just think what we can do when we use our deeper mind to help us heal.
A certified Reiki Energy Healer with a love for Crystals and Sound Healing Therapy. A diploma in sound healing. 🔮💫🧚 🎶

Most recently I’ve become a certified KPA Kambô Medicina Practitioner. An ancient healing method to purge the body of what we struggle to let go of. Physical Toxins, a cleanse, Emotional baggage, trauma, pain, clearing away the fog. Finding Clarity with the Frog 🐸 A Healing tool of the Amazon that’s becoming more widely known in the Western World. We need it know that’s why it’s here.
Kambô is not for everyone. If you feel called to Kambô Medicina let me know I’d be happy to chat 💬

I am also the Founder of a magical community for women called Warrior Water Women.
We have events for better physical and mental wellness. Cold Water Therapy, Breathwork, Meditation, Group Hypnotherapy, Free gatherings, nature walks and Retreats.

Happy to chat through any of these healing treatments. We are not stuck. Sometimes we just don’t know how to get started. Start with a hello 👋

Even if you don’t know what’s “wrong” - come into the clinic and leave feeling better. Peace in the mind and peace in the body. 💕

My passion is helping men, women and children to become more confident at a deeper level by overcoming the traumas, the pains and worries that stop us from living with peace and joy.

I have a Private Clinic in Glasgow plus I run more affordable Group sessions.
I also have almost 400 spectacular reviews.
