The Team

Linda McCurrach

Linda lives in East Ayrshire and is the mother of 5 children. She founded the organisation after her Mum died, when she felt a deep need to help the community around her and to help others have a good death as her Mum had.

As a trained and registered Soul Midwife she knew she could put her skills to good use, but didn’t understand how much the services we provide would be needed at the time. Linda is also our Service Manager.

Her background is in holistic therapies and she has worked in this field for over 20 years studying and teaching reiki, studying shiatsu, COSCA counselling skills, specialist bereavement counselling, NLP, CBT and other holistic health modalities. She is passionate about any form of self development and enjoys learning to play the guitar, walking and gardening.

Samantha Ralston

Samantha lives in North Ayrshire and is the mother of one. Samantha’s background is in customer service management. After gaining qualifications within administration found the confidence to use them and her life’s journey, to gain employment as the administrator for NODA Ayrshire.

Samantha is a huge Star Wars, music and football fan. Spending most of her time at home with her son playing football and doing many other boisterous things, walking the dog, listening to music or true crime podcasts.
