About Us

Our experience of working together in a social work setting for several years and also holding qualifications in nursing may have some bearing of how we have came to be where we are now.  Understanding people both at an individual level and at a much broader scale was part and parcel of our jobs and has helped us realise that people especially nowadays need to be offered the chance to take better control of their health.

We wanted to offer something different and complementary to help people attain a lifestyle which includes a way of integrating modern day fast living with “time out, rejuvenating and self rewarding quality experiences. We believe treating yourself as important is something many of us forget as we go rushing about our daily business!

Everybody can forget to watch out for the little signs of building stress levels and reduced health or if we see them we put them to the back of our minds and” just get on with it!“

So here we are offering you therapies/advice that can help you maintain better health and better understanding of health.  They are of-course also, simply relaxing and dare we say it –a little self indulgent!

About Marjie

After qualifying in Clinical Aromatherapy and several other complementary therapies Marjie set up her own business in 2004 called "Scentsability".  This turned out to be a very successful enterprise for her and became the springboard to opening a complementary therapy shop.

About Ben

In the meantime Ben too had left his old job and had followed similar lines of interest in spirituality and well being developing skills in shiatsu and meditation.

They say that nothing happens by chance!

We stayed in contact with one another and as we had always made a great team, decided to go into partnership and Five Human was born!

It was an exciting thought, to continue to make a living through helping others to help themselves!  This however would really be our time to put into practice the concept of personal health-care… leaving  people to remain the experts of their own health and well being, something which we both are very passionate about!

Five Human

Five Human is the result of a meld of our ideas, aspirations and friendship.  Together we hope to offer something different, something exciting and something original for the up and coming bustling town of Falkirk.

Our Name

The name Five Human is a holistic name coined from traditional Chinese medicine where the universe is thought to be composed of 5 elements – Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.

Human beings are considered microcosms of the universe (miniature universes in their own right made up of the same five elements in unique combinations) hence the name Five Human.

The Therapies /Treatments

We believe in a holistic and proactive approach to health and well-being. People need to counterbalance the detrimental effects of 21 century life by actively taking time out for themselves. Think about re-energising, standing back and evaluating your own personal lifestyle in order to make changes to improve your quality of life. This is the best therapy by far!  

However many people are not ready to make such changes on their own
We can help and are keen to learn and develop new therapies for you which can contribute to improved health vitality and lifestyle.

We currently offer the following range of therapies but are always adding new ones to our list which we think people will benefit from and really enjoy .This can be either as a singular experience or as part of a structured approach to address stress, ailments or conditions
All our therapies work best in conjunction to and complementing the input from other health care professionals.

Our aim /philosophy

Our roots and backgrounds  lie in nursing and so our aim is to ensure a high quality service to our customer based upon treating each customer as a unique self determining individual who is the best expert on his/her health .

We will always listen carefully to your needs and only offer treatments when they are safe and beneficial.

We will always strive to keep our prices at reasonable levels in order to expand the availability of complementary health/care to all.

Ethics.  

Everybody has to make a living but we think it’s important for us to try to ensure that we do this in a way that avoids exploitation of others and that we consider how our business impacts on people and environments.

We try as best as we can to source our products from ethically based companies. We also try to keep all our prices reasonable ensuring they are accessible to a wide majority of people. We hope we can make a difference however small that may be, that judgement we leave to you!
