Holistic Treatments At Westbourne
Havening
Havening is a gentle, neuroscience-based technique designed to help release emotional distress, reduce anxiety, and support healing from trauma. At Westbourne Medical Studios, we offer Havening as part of our holistic approach to emotional wellbeing—providing a calm and supportive environment where lasting change can take place.
Using soothing touch combined with guided visualisation and calming techniques, Havening helps to de-link emotional responses from distressing memories stored in the brain. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety, phobias, stress, or the lingering impact of traumatic events.
Each session is tailored to your individual needs, creating a safe space where you can process emotions at your own pace. Havening is gentle, empowering, and deeply calming—supporting a renewed sense of ease, clarity, and resilience across mind and body.

Meet The Team
Dr Veronica McBurnie
MBChB (Glasgow) , MRCGP , DFFP , LFHom(Med)
Clinical Director, Founder, Family GP & Specialist in Integrative Medicine
I’ve always believed that truly effective healthcare must go beyond symptom management—it should empower people to reconnect with their bodies, understand their emotional wellbeing, and feel supported as a whole person. My own professional and personal journey has reinforced this again and again, and it led me to create a space where integrative, person-centred care could flourish. That vision became Westbourne Medical Studios.
Westbourne was born out of the desire to blend the best of conventional and holistic approaches under one nurturing roof. From tranquil, professional clinical rooms to a creative arts studio, a family kitchen for nutrition education, and a meditation garden, every part of Westbourne has been designed with healing and balance in mind.
As a private GP, I’m proud to offer bespoke consultations tailored to your physical, emotional, and energetic needs. Whether you're visiting for a general appointment, integrative medicine, or something more specialised, my goal is to support you with care that is thoughtful, evidence-informed, and deeply compassionate.
In addition to GP services, I have a particular interest in Voice Analysis and Frequency Medicine, as well as emotional healing techniques that work with the body's energy systems. My clinical work is also closely tied to my passions—meditation, singing, and sound therapies—all of which I use to help patients reconnect with their own voice, both literally and metaphorically.
I look forward to welcoming you to Westbourne Medical Studios and supporting your journey towards vibrant, whole-person wellbeing.

Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is a gentle yet powerful method that helps you become more aware of how you move, hold tension, and carry yourself in daily life. At Westbourne Medical Studios, this practice is offered as a holistic way to relieve discomfort, improve posture, and restore natural balance in both body and mind.
Through guided movements and mindful observation, our experienced practitioners work with you to unlearn unhelpful habits that may contribute to physical tension, stress, or pain—particularly in the neck, back, shoulders, and joints. This technique is often beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, postural issues, or simply seeking to move with greater ease and presence.
Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a soothing and restorative therapy that focuses on the head, neck, and shoulders—areas where we commonly hold stress and tension. Rooted in Ayurvedic tradition, this treatment uses a combination of gentle strokes and targeted pressure to stimulate circulation, ease muscular discomfort, and promote a sense of deep calm. It can also help improve sleep quality, reduce headaches, and boost your overall sense of wellbeing.
At Westbourne Medical Studios, our Signature Indian Head Massage is tailored to suit your individual needs and schedule. Available in flexible durations, each session offers a moment of escape—an opportunity to pause, unwind, and reconnect. Whether you’re looking for quick relief or a longer, indulgent experience, our skilled therapists create a nurturing environment where you can truly let go. Leave feeling lighter, rebalanced, and ready to step back into your day with a renewed sense of ease.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy at Westbourne Medical Studios offers a deeply nurturing and restorative approach to wellbeing, where movement, breath, and stillness come together to support healing from within. Rooted in the ancient practices of asana (postures), pranayama (breathwork), and meditation, each session is tailored to your individual needs—helping to restore balance in both body and mind.
This is more than just a yoga class. Our carefully guided sessions are a holistic journey that promotes alignment, resilience, and inner calm. Whether you're managing stress, physical discomfort, or simply seeking deeper connection, Yoga Therapy offers a space to slow down and reconnect. As you explore each posture and breath, you’ll discover a greater sense of presence, strength, and spiritual clarity.
