Helen Fraser is a holistic practitioner in the truest sense with a career that encompasses many disciplines. She is a deeply spiritual person and is motivated by compassion to alleviate suffering where she is able.

On leaving school Helen took up a career in nursing, completing her training in the UK and then working in the field of reconstructive surgery Zimbabwe before moving to the USA to train as a Cosmetologist with the reknowned Janet Sartin.

In 1981 Helen had a serious health challenge. Conventional medicine offered a means of controlling the condition but at a cost of complicated side effects so she turned to M. Micheline Arcier, one of the founder members of modern day aromatherapy for help. The treatment cured her condition and Helen developed a passionate interest in holistic treatments and the healing abilities of traditional medicines. She spent the next two and a half years studying and working with M. Arcier and her daughter Marie-Christine, broadening her understanding of Phyto-medicine. Between 1984 and 1989 Helen gave M. Arcier treatments to patients at the Palliatory Care Unit at St. Mary's in Paddington, London and this experience has encouraged her to develop the treatments she can offer as a resource for patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or who have a compromised immune system.

Helen has studied other disciplines and trained with various healers of interest and integrity, including Dr. Helene Harris, a teacher of Psychotherapy, Colour Therapy and Life Training Courses. Peter Goldman, Principal of the Centre of New Directions and a well known exponent and teacher of Sound Therapy. Ann Lett, Principal of the International School for Reflex Zone Therapy under the guidance of Dr. Hanne Marquardt and Gerder Schpielman for Lymphatic Drainage Therapy.

Helen considers meditation to be integral to her life. She has practiced in Thailand, India and the UK with leading meditation masters. In 1998 she moved to live near to, and be closely involved with, Chithurst Buddhist Monastery before returning to her roots in the Borders in 2003 where she now makes her healing therapies available.
