College Celebrates Lecturer on Prestigious Royal Society Fellowship
City of Glasgow College is thrilled to congratulate Fiona Wales, lecturer in Complementary Therapies, on her recent election as a Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health — a prestigious honour recognising her outstanding contribution to the field.
Fiona, who also owns the award-winning Healtherapy business, has been a dedicated champion of Complementary Therapies for over a decade. Since relocating Healtherapy from Orkney to Helensburgh in 2021, she has continued to offer an impressive range of more than 55 therapies, making her one of the most widely qualified therapists in the country.
Her commitment to advancing public understanding and credibility of Complementary Therapies is reflected in this distinguished fellowship, which acknowledges her efforts to make integrative therapies accessible and affordable. Fiona’s role as a lecturer at City of Glasgow College has also been instrumental in shaping the next generation of therapists, ensuring the continuation of high standards and integrity within the industry.
Curriculum Head for Beauty and Complementary Therapies, Alison Bell, commented:
“Myself and the team are incredibly proud of Fiona’s achievement. Her passion and leadership in complementary therapies are a real asset to the Complementary Therapies department, the college, and the wider industry.”
Fiona added, “I am delighted to be elected to such an esteemed group. This recognition highlights the importance and value of credible complementary therapies and supports my lifelong goal to promote the validity of our profession.”
The entire City of Glasgow College community is proud of Fiona’s achievement and looks forward to seeing her continue to inspire students and the wider healthcare community.
