My name is Nic Paterson and I am a holistic healer and teacher, working mainly from my therapy room within the North Isles Chiropractic Clinic in Kirkwall, Orkney. I have been working with complementary therapies for many years and know, from personal experience, that they offer a viable and effective solution to many health problems.
Although they work well as 'stand-alone' therapies, as their name suggests, they also complement allopathic or regular medical care. Our lives nowadays are stressful and few of us allow enough time to relax and breathe out. This can lead to many and varied conditions, ranging from backache and shoulder tension to depression and digestive problems.

After university, I began my working life in the insurance industry in Edinburgh. I was happy climbing the corporate career ladder until injuries sustained in a car accident forced me to reconsider my options. I was forced to give up work, and faced with a lifetime of chronic pain and depression, I began researching the benefits of complementary therapies.
Under each sub-heading is an outline of each of the therapies I offer. Although these are all stand-alone treatments, I find it is often helpful to offer combinations and clients have reported even more benefit as a result. Each treatment is as individual as you are! I also offer holistic healing for children.
Reiki is a gentle, hands-on therapy which balances and harmonises the body on all levels. It is a form of healing energy which helps to bring the recipient into a state of relaxation and wellbeing and works equally well on physical complaints, as it does on emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances.
I offer holistic, aromatherapy, Indian Head and geothermal massage, often as a combination therapy and always tailored to suit your particular needs. Aromatherapy massage uses blended essential oils to restore balance; holistic massage gently and effectively works the muscles and joints to the same end and geothermal treatments use heated and chilled basalt stones.
Shamanic/Energy Healing uses a variety of ancient and natural techniques, including sound, crystals, meditation and energy clearing, to remove blocks from our physical and energetic bodies so that we may return to full health. Treatments are given fully clothed, either lying on a couch or sitting in a chair.
