about us

Our social enterprise was founded by three passionate wellbeing practitioners — Laura Ross of Banchory Yoga, Vikki Cleal of Vikki Cleal Yoga & Sound, and Lynsey Birnie of X-Hail with Lyns (Meditation, Reiki & Holistic Therapies) — our collective is rooted in the belief that holistic wellness should be accessible to all.
