About Me

Psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, coach,

Meet Shona

Hi! I’m Shona – Founder of the Hebridean Soul Sanctuary.

It is my soul’s mission to guide women in transcending the internal blocks and limiting patterns that hold them back from living the life they truly deserve and desire. A life filled with meaning, joy, and purpose—one they are fully capable of creating. My greatest joy is in helping you embody your true potential and step into a life of alignment and fulfilment.

Why I Am Best Placed to Be Your Host and Guide

With over a decade of experience as a Clinical Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist, and Advanced Transformational Life Coach, I have dedicated my life to supporting women in their journeys of healing, growth, and self-discovery. Whether through one-on-one coaching or my immersive retreats in the Outer Hebrides, I bring deep connection, intuition, and unwavering commitment to each woman’s transformation.

The retreats are hosted on my ancestral lands of North Uist, where I grew up and feel an intrinsic connection to the land. The islands are woven into my being, and I believe they hold a unique magic that can only be truly experienced when immersed in their untouched beauty. 

What Others Are Saying

“You are my Alchemist, Shona. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear… and you did. You have a gift, no doubt about it. Your ability to make your client feel relaxed and, more importantly, safe, is a big part of your magic.”

“The coaching with Shona was the best decision I ever made for living my own life. I had been wanting to change my old patterns for a while, but everything I had tried felt superficial. Meeting Shona during my first Immersive Island Retreat touched me deeply. Her warmth, kindness, and remarkable expertise made me feel safe to embark on this journey.”

“Shona I have so much love and appreciation for you. I am greatly inspired by you and who you are. You are showing me how to return to myself and that is precious in so many ways.”

“Working with Shona has changed my life in the most profound way. Shona’s gentle, soothing presence created the perfect environment for me to reconnect with my intuition, rebuild my confidence, and rediscover a zest for life. The retreat in North Uist was an experience I will forever hold dear. I found a love for community again—something I didn’t even know I was missing.”
