✨ Meet Merelle, founder of New Town Therapy
Merelle founded New Town Therapy in Edinburgh in 2014, with a simple belief: true wellbeing comes from looking at the whole person - mind, body and lifestyle.
Starting her career in massage therapy, Merelle developed a deep understanding of the body and how it responds to stress, movement, training and everyday life. Since 2014, she has also had the privilege of working as a sports massage therapist with the Scotland Rugby Team, supporting elite athletes and gaining invaluable experience in treating the demands placed on the body at the highest level.
Her passion for understanding health beyond hands-on treatment led her to train as a Nutritional Therapist with the College of Naturopathic Medicine, allowing her to bring together her knowledge of massage, nutrition and lifestyle.
At NTT, Merelle believes that the foundations of good health are often found in the basics:
🌿 Nourishing yourself well
😴 Prioritising rest and recovery
🧘♀️ Managing stress
🤝 Staying connected
🏃♀️ Keeping your body moving
Her approach combines clinical, therapeutic treatment with a calm and welcoming environment, creating space for both the body and mind to unwind.
