Healing with Heart
Let healing ripple through you with Grace & Ease
Welcome to a gentler way of healing
Life can pull you out of balance. Stress builds, emotions feel heavy, the body gets tight, and suddenly you feel disconnected from yourself.
I offer CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, Chakradance™, and intuitive guidance to help you return to a state of calm, alignment, and inner ease. My approach is gentle, grounded, and guided by your body’s own wisdom.
CST works with the craniosacral system — the tissues and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Reiki supports energetic balance. Chakradance™ helps release emotion through movement. Together, they create a powerful yet soft pathway home to yourself.
Healing doesn’t need to be hard. It begins with one quiet yes.
You’re welcome to book a session, explore the modalities, or reach out with any questions. I’m here to support you with grace and ease.
Many blessings

About
Grace & Ease
Grace & Ease
My healing journey began long before I offered it to others. Like many people, I experienced times of stress, tension, and emotional overwhelm. My body held more than I realised. When I finally sought support, I discovered how powerful gentle, hands-on work could be.
CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, and other intuitive modalities helped me reconnect with myself in a way I hadn’t known was possible. I felt calmer, clearer, and more at home in my own body.
This experience changed everything. I went on to train in CranioSacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, learning how the craniosacral system influences the whole body. I studied how light-touch techniques can help release restrictions in the tissues and support the natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid. I also continued deepening my understanding of energy work, intuition, and how the body expresses what words sometimes can’t.
What I offer today is grounded in both training and lived experience. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to turn. And I know the relief that comes when the body finally exhales. My work is simply to hold space, listen, and follow where your body leads. Healing doesn’t need to be forced. It unfolds gently when it’s met with compassion, presence, and trust.

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the craniosacral system: the membranes, connective tissues, and flow of cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. When tension builds within this system, it can affect the whole body.
How is CST performed?
Using light touch, I listen to the rhythms and patterns within your tissues. This helps me feel where the body is holding restriction, strain, or imbalance. From there, I gently support the body to release what it’s ready to let go of. CST never forces. It allows.
Sessions are quiet and deeply calming. You remain fully clothed. As the body unwinds, clients often feel a sense of spaciousness, clarity, or deep relaxation. Some experience emotional release, others feel physical tension dissolve. Every session is unique.
How does CST work?
The craniosacral system in which the central nervous system functions, consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, extending from the bones of the skull, face and mouth down to the tailbone. CST works on the understanding that imbalance or dysfunction of this system can adversely affect the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord and contribute to sensory, motor and/or neurological disabilities.
CST can alleviate a range of conditions including:
The extremely light touch involoved with CST makes it a safe approach for people of all ages, including newborns.
What matters most is not the technique, but how your body responds. When given the right conditions, the body naturally moves toward balance.

REIKI
What is Reiki?
Reiki translates as "universal" or "God-consciousness"(Rei) and "vital life force" (Ki) and all living things have this life force energy circulating through it and around it, from plants to animals including people. Reiki is not a religion however it is spiritual in nature.
How does Reiki work?
Because Reiki is guided by God-consciousness, it can never do harm. It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for them. Reiki is a channeled healing with energy flowing through the practitioner to the client. It raises the vibrational level of the energy field with positive energy to where negative thoughts and feelings have attached, causing them to break apart and fall away, leaving clear, straight pathways for the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.
What can I expect from a treatment?
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radience that flows through you and surrounds you. Reiki treats the whole person, body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many benefical effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.

CHAKRADANCE™
What is Chakradance?™
Chakradance™ is a transformational movement healing modality. With a unique combination of meditation, music, movement and art specifically designed and composed with the attributes and frequency of each chakra in mind, Chakradance™ will change your life.
As we gently release blocked emotions, unresolved feelings and traumas from our body, our cells and our energy field there is a shift in our reality. New opportunitys arise, new people or situations present themselves. Life flows with Grace & Ease.
How does Chakradance™ work?
Based in Jungiaan psychology and with the power of the beautiful music, specificaally composed to the correct frequency of each chakra, guided imagery and allowing our body to freely move as it needs to, we shift negative energies attached to us, whether it be phusical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
With eyes closed, wearing an eye mask or gaze lowered, we access the inner world more easily, allowing for deeper healing. With the creation of the mandala artpiece we gain more insight into our experience.
This is not performance or choreography. It’s movement as healing. Movement that lets the body express what it holds. Movement that helps release tension, restore balance, and bring you back to centre.
Each class gently guides you through different themes connected to the body’s energetic and emotional landscape. Through music, meditation, and intuitive movement, you begin to soften, breathe more deeply, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have felt tight, hidden, or overwhelmed.
How will Chakradance™ benefit me?
Chakradance™ reconnects you with your true self, the beautiful soul that you are. As it frees you from the energy of negative experiences you've had, Chakradance™ allows you to live the life you are meant to lead. It has an impact on our outer world like a ripple effect. As we change, so too does the world around us.
On a deeper level, it leads to higher levels of spiritual connection, higher than you dreamed possible.
People often describe Chakradance™ as grounding, calming, and surprisingly powerful. It helps you feel more present, more spacious inside, and more in tune with your own needs. When done regularly, it can support emotional clarity, self-awareness, and a peaceful sense of wellbeing.
You don’t need to be fit, flexible, or coordinated. You simply arrive as you are, and the movement meets you there.

F.A.Q
.What happens in a CranioSacral Therapy session?
A CST session is gentle, quiet, and deeply relaxing. You remain fully clothed while I use light touch to work with the craniosacral system – the membranes, connective tissues, and flow of cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. I follow your body’s rhythms to feel where tension is being held and gently support the release of restrictions. Sessions are always guided by your body’s own pace and readiness.
Is CST painful?
No. CST is a very soft, light-touch modality. Most people find it calming and peaceful. Some feel sensations as the body unwinds – gentle warmth, pulsing, softening, or subtle movement – but nothing forceful or uncomfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
Every body is different. Some people feel shifts after one or two sessions; others benefit from regular support over time. Your body will guide the pace. We can discuss your goals and how often you may choose to come.
Is CST safe for children?
Yes. CST is gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for babies, children, and teens. Children often respond very well because their systems are highly receptive. Sessions are shorter when working with younger clients and always adjusted to their comfort and pace.
What happens in a Reiki session?
Reiki is a calming, hands-on energy modality. You lie comfortably while I place my hands lightly on or above the body. Many people experience a sense of warmth, ease, or softening. Reiki is wonderful for stress, emotional clarity, and grounding.
What does Chakradance™ involve?
Chakradance™ uses movement, music, and imagery to help you explore your inner world. There are no steps to learn. It is simply guided, intuitive movement that allows the body to express what it’s been holding. Classes may also include meditation, visualisation, and drawing to integrate the experience.
Do I need dance experience for Chakradance™?
Not at all. You don’t need to be coordinated, flexible, or confident in movement. Chakradance™ is about inner expression, not performance. You move in your own way, at your own pace.
What is Chakradance™ Kids?
Chakradance™ Kids is a creative, playful programme that blends movement, storytelling, and art to help children understand and express their emotions. It supports self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence in a gentle, engaging way.
What if my child is shy or struggles with big emotions?
That’s completely okay. Many children begin the programme feeling shy, overwhelmed, or unsure. The structure of music, story, and movement helps them relax into themselves. They don’t need to talk if they don’t want to. Their body and imagination lead the way.
What should I wear to a session or class?
Wear something comfortable that allows you to relax. For CST and Reiki, you remain fully clothed and lie on a treatment table. For Chakradance™, loose, breathable clothing is ideal for gentle movement.
What will I feel after a session?
Most people feel relaxed, clearer, or more grounded. Some feel energised, while others feel sleepy. You may notice emotional or physical shifts over the next couple of days as your body integrates the work. Drinking water and taking things gently can help.
Can CST or Reiki replace medical treatment?
No. These modalities support the body’s natural ability to find balance, but they do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. They work alongside, not instead of, any care you receive from health professionals.
Do I need to talk during my session?
Only if you want to. CST and Reiki don’t require conversation for the work to be effective. Your body leads, and I follow what it shows. If you feel like sharing, there is space for that. If you prefer silence, that is welcome too.
What if I don’t know which service to choose?
That’s absolutely fine. You can share what you’re experiencing, and I can recommend the best starting point. CST, Reiki, Chakradance™, and intuitive guidance all support the body in different but complementary ways.
Do you work with men?
Yes. Many men come for CST, Reiki, and movement-based sessions. You don’t need the right words, and you don’t need to talk about anything if you prefer not to. The work is grounded, practical, and respectful.
How do I book?
You can contact me directly to schedule your session or enrol in a programme. I’m here to help you find the support that feels right for you.
