meet the soul man team
CLAIRE
I’m the Shop Manager and have been part of The Soul Man Scotland from the start. I have had the pleasure of working alongside Steven for the past 8 years and I now manage The Soul Man team. I come from a spooky family, as I say, and in my 20s, I was gifted my first set of tarot cards. They travelled with me to the other side of the world to Australia where I had a major spiritual experience and did a lot of soul searching.
I love all aspects of my role but most of all seeing people leave our shop with a smile and a grateful tear just melts my heart. Thank you all who have supported me during my time with The Soul Man. I love you all!
JACQUI
I am an intuitive reader and also a reiki practitioner. I work a lot with energy, I like to connect with your energy and this is how I get the guidance in which you need. It all depends on how much you let me into your energy to how much guidance I get. I love using my cards, pendulum, and reiki wand. These are my tools to help reinforce my insight, do chakra work, and remove older stuck energies or emotions in your auric field.
I love helping others and making people smile. If I can do one thing is make someone smile then I have done my job right. I love all things spiritual. Spirituality helped me so much when I was going through a lot in my life.
JOHANNE
After being in the hairdressing industry for 26 years, I am now moving on, and here at The Soul Man Scotland I continue to follow my heart and do what I have been shown to do from a young age and that's to work with spirit. From a very young age I have always known I was different to everyone else. I could never get my head around why no one else could see, hear, smell the things I could but I kept this side of me hidden away.
After doing a few courses it was very clear to me where my heart should be. I am trained in Reiki level 1 and 2, and I am currently in my second year on the Mediumship diploma course and I'm absolutely loving it!
NIKKI
My specialty is Angelic Reiki. My favourite readings to do are Tarot and connecting with the spirit world. I love to provide comfort and evidence of the soul after this life.
In my spare time, I love pranking my husband and 3 kids, spending time with family and friends, and doing things that give me an adrenaline rush.
DARIAN
I’m a lover of cats, true crime and all things spooky! As a practising witch who specialises in connecting with ancient Goddesses and Mother Earth for guidance, ritual and spell work are integral to my everyday life and I love sharing easy ways that everyone can incorporate a little witchcraft into their lives! I am continuously working on developing my mediumship skills.
At The Soul Man Scotland, my role is providing the amazing customers who walk through the door an honest and genuine reading or connection. I love speaking with everyone and getting to know the people who come to visit us so don’t be surprised if I chat your ear off!
Lynne
Hello! I am an avid reader and knitter. I have two grown up sons and a mad bearded Collie dog!
My role at The Soul Man Scotland is volunteer Community Champion. This entails thinking up ways to raise funds for the community projects that we have chosen. Throughout the year, the chosen projects will be changing so that we can help lots of people.
I am training as a medium with The Soul Man Academy and I love the difference it has made to me. I love working with the team in the shop to come up with ways to raise money and I am sure that people look at me and say ”Oh heavens! She’s got another idea to get money from us!”
Having been on the receiving end of help from different charities to help my son who has autism, it’s great to be able to give something back. The shop is such a great place as you can feel the peace and the happiness as soon as you walk in.
TAMZIN
After joining the team here at The Soul Man Scotland in 2021, I have become the person I always have been deep down - kind, caring and compassionate. Finding understanding of who I am as a person has helped me understand others in ways I never could before.
As the Assistant Manager, I support the readers and customers, and use my own life experiences to help others. My job entails a lot of different aspects which include bookings, meeting and greeting customers, answering phone calls, refreshments, organisation of the shop, coordinating the team, and making sure that our clients are well looked after. I am the first point of contact when you come into our space, and I greet every client with a friendly smile and a warm welcome.
APRIL
I am Front of house on Saturdays and I sometimes do readings at The Soul Man Scotland too. Meditation and my spiritually gave me a new life and as such I practise gratitude every day for the life I lead. I love mediumship and the beauty of communicating and proving that our loved ones are around us all and the gift of Tarot and the guidance it brings.
I am wonderfully weird and I am also funny! My superpowers are connecting to people who are just like me and letting them know they also are not alone. I love the love and connection I have for nature but most of all I love the power of healing.
MARTIN
I am Front of House on Saturdays helping customers and the team. I’m a fitness coach and a massage therapist. Always a people person, usually found talking, laughing and hugging! I am not spooky but I find psychic mediumship fascinating, as a former sceptic I’ve found myself leaning more towards learning the skills to further my knowledge on it.
I am open and receptive to energy, whilst learning to trust my own intuition. I am a firm believer of how words we say to ourselves and others have massive effects both positive and negative, I also believe self love is very important to our growth as human beings.
YVonne
Hello! I'm a 65 year old mother of three, Granny of four and have a 16 year old tortoise called Bruce.
For the past year and a half I have been part of the Mediumship Diploma Course and through this journey I have gravitated to my role as volunteer Community Champion. This involves working with local organisations, building awareness of them and finding ways to raise funds to aid in providing extras for their group. The recipients will change every 6 months or so in order for us to raise much needed funds to well deserving organisations.
My training as a medium has not only allowed me to hone my skills, but also find out things about myself and who I am as a person. I have made so many new friends along the way and I will be eternally grateful that I stepped over the threshold into a world of calm and serenity.
LEanne
Hi!! I’m a mum of two, love a jigsaw and have a cat and 3 crazy Labrador’s.
I was delighted to be asked to join Yvonne and Lynne in the role of Community Champion Volunteer here at The Soul Man. I love giving back so to be able to raise some money and make a difference to people’s lives gives me so much joy.
I have been coming to The Soul Man now for around 2 years and I can honestly say it’s changed the way I look at life in so many different ways. I love the shop and the way it makes you feel, it’s almost like walking into a different world for a little while, full of peace and tranquility. It’s just like home and the team are absolutely amazing.
GEMMA
I’m the Marketing Officer. After hearing experiences throughout my life which I couldn’t explain, I developed an interest in spirits, things unseen, energy and living a positive life. So, I first visited The Soul Man Scotland after being recommended by a friend and my reading was incredible. I joined The Soul Man team because of this amazing experience, and because I quickly learned that this is a place which values kindness, wanting to help others, and connecting people with their deepest selves.
As the Marketing Officer, I get to think of creative and new ways to spread the word about the positive and amazing things happening at The Soul Man Scotland!
PAM
I’m the Administrative Officer for The Soul Man Scotland.
I believe there is nothing that music cannot fix… Music speaks every language with no need for words. Connections are made, memories restored, plans set in action. My passion is in teaching others how to learn to play musical instruments and search deep within themselves to bring out their own musicianship and build confidence around their ability to perform.
STEVEN
My role at The Soul Man Scotland is only what I’d describe as the best job in the world. It’s so multifaceted and hard to put into words. My role is to support my amazing team to do their role to the best of their abilities. I support Claire and Tamzin in their roles as Manager and Assistant Manager so our The Soul Man Scotland team are supported to live and breathe our ethos of kindness, strengthening our brand, and making sure our customers feel every bit of love they have for their jobs and in turn make them and our wider community feel valued and cared for. Everything I talk about in my live vlogs, blogs, TikToks, stories is about kindness, understanding, care, compassion and empathy.
An important part of my role is our training academy, The Soul Man Academy, and I focus on ensuring our course content is vibrant, exciting and has value in line with our ethos and values, by enabling people to believe in themselves. I enjoy being a guest on podcasts, holding public talks and demonstrations, and networking by making new connections with people and brands who align with our values. And most importantly, never forgetting the promise I made to the unseen world all those years ago that I would create a community of all the above, providing a safe space for our customers, team and wider community whatever that space inhabits!
My focus is to provide a valid experience based practice of mediumship that is always honest and infused with care, leaving people always better than they were when they arrived. I can’t express how much gratitude I feel for our amazing managers, our team and our wonderful community who make The Soul Man Scotland a very special piece of my heart.
