💜 In loving memory of the two biggest missing pieces of my heart 💜

Today marks 10 years since my Dad left this world, and 5 years since my beautiful niece, Gracie, joined him.

I’ve been awake since 5am trying to find the right words… and none of them feel big enough.

How has 10 years passed without his laughter, his silly jokes, his phone calls, or him sat in my living room reading the paper or watching Star Trek?

He adored his grandkids. He’d be so proud of who they are becoming 🥹

And my Gracie… my heart aches for her every day. I miss her cuddles, her smile, her big heart. She was Scarlett’s best friend for 11 years, Sofia’s first girl cousin, and she absolutely loved her Uncle John. She loved us all.

Losing both Dad and Grace broke me open in a way I never expected. It changed me forever.

But it also became my purpose.
Graceful Healing wouldn’t exist without them 🤍
They are the reason I do this work.

Grief is painful and messy.
It changes who you are.
It steals your breath and breaks you apart…
but it also teaches you to love differently, to honour differently, to keep going.

Because grief is just love with nowhere physical to go 💔

So today I honour them both and all the love they left behind.

💜 Dad, thank you for the 35 years of love and laughter. I miss you every single day.

🩷 Gracie, thank you for the joy, the cuddles and the memories. I will carry you with me forever.

Forever my missing pieces. Forever in my heart 🤍

I’m still floating after this weekend… can’t stop smiling 🤗

When I created The Graceful Alignment Method™ it came from one simple truth which is……

this …….I never wanted women to have to relive their trauma to to simply heal. 😫

I created this for the women who are exhausted from being strong, who smile through the hurt, who give everything and still feel empty inside… the ones who just want to feel happy, worthy, loved and whole again. 🥰

And this weekend, watching my beautiful trainees step into their power, receive their Reiki attunements, let go of emotional weight they’ve held for years, and grow in confidence right in front of my eyes…

It hit me.

This is why I started it.
This is what my vision looked like.
This is why I trusted myself.
This is why I kept going.

Seeing their words today, honestly, I could cry 🥹 , but pure happy tears 🥲

If I can help ONE woman feel worthy of happiness again, love herself without needing acceptance from anyone else and let go of the past, and then go on to help others heal…

My job is done. 💜

So, Thank you to every single soul who cheers me on, and thank you to the ladies who showed up for them selves this weekend, who trusted me, trusted themselves, and proved that gentle healing can change lives.

We’re only just getting started ✨

👉🏼 What’s ONE thing you’ve done for yourself lately that made you feel good?

I’d love to know 💜, it may just help someone else do the same

23/11/2025

My heart is honestly so full after the past two days, I don’t even know where to start 🥹💜

We’ve just completed our very first in-person weekend for the Graceful Alignment Method™ practitioner training and it has been nothing short of magical.

Saturday was all about embodiment. No desks, no classrooms, no sitting being talked at. The knowledge part is already online… this weekend was about feeling it in the body and integrating it deeply. Experiencing it all!!

We moved gently together through Qigong, we explored the Energy Anchors, we opened up to intuition, and we had those powerful “ohhh that makes sense” moments. There were tears, laughter, movement, breathing, releasing, dancing, connection, and that beautiful sense of being held and understood.

Then today… Reiki attunements 🥹✨

Watching these incredible women step into their power as Reiki practitioners was emotional in the most beautiful way. They experienced so much during their practice sessions and witnessing them share healing with each other honestly made me smile hard 😄.

The shifts, the confidence, the softness, the strength. It was all there.

I’m so proud of of them. They’ve been diving into the modules, doing the self healing work, showing up for themselves, and now they’re embodying this modality in such a powerful way.

And the love and support I’ve felt over the weekend has been incredible. So many of you have reached out, joined the group, and shared your support and excitement.

So,Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It means more than you know.

I am beyond grateful for this journey and for every single soul who is walking it with me. What a dream come true.🥰

If you joined my group recently, or if you’ve been quietly watching, and you are wondering if this is for you too, pop me a msg or comment “info” below 👇🏻 💜

My bed is calling me
Night night 🥰

The day my dream became real 🥹💜
And I’ll never forget it.

I’ve barely slept with the excitement… I’m sat here at 6am emotional as hell because 10 months ago The Graceful Alignment Method™ was just a tiny spark, a 💡.

A “maybe one day… if I’m good enough” kind of idea.

And yesterday… I got the news 😍

I am officially an IPHM Approved Training Provider 🤍
Recognised. Accredited. Valued.
A global Trustmark in holistic education is now attached to something I created from my heart.

Even I doubted myself (like the other day 😂🤦🏼‍♀️), so no doubt others did too…
Well would you look at that 😜

Reading words like:

✨ “A trusted symbol of excellence, integrity & professionalism”
✨ “Recognises your passion & the unique quality of your training”
✨ “Not given lightly, only to those with the highest standards”

…about something I built… honestly took my breath away.

The Graceful Alignment Method™ was born from everything I’ve lived through.
Grief. Healing. Somatics. Energy. Subconscious rewiring.
A gentle, graceful, powerful way to help women feel safe in their own bodies again, and then help others do the same.

Through losing my wonderful papa, my beautiful niece Grace, and my friends Dawn and Emma… I poured that love and pain into this work.
For them 🫶🏻

This weekend I’ll be celebrating with the incredible women who said YES before there was a certificate or a name.
Their transformations made this possible 💜

It honestly feels like a newborn arriving into the world… and it’s only going to grow, expand, and find the women who are aligned with it.

A community built on compassion.
On alignment.
On real healing.
On rising together.

Thank you for being here, for witnessing this chapter, and believing in this work.

I’m so bloody happy right now 💜✨
I feel like I’m literally pooping rainbows 🌈💩 and I’m not even sorry 😂

Thank you – I feel so blessed today 😍

❤️

Honestly… yesterday knocked me a bit.
I woke up in such a low vibe and I couldn’t even tell you why.
I should be buzzing, it’s my very first in-person Graceful Alignment Practitioner Training this weekend, plus Reiki attunements on Sunday… and we’re starting the morning with Qigong because, well, it’s bloody amazing 😂💜

But nope.
My brain decided to throw every bit of self-doubt my way 🤦🏼‍♀️.

“Will it be good enough?”
“What if it flops?”
“What if I fail?”
“All this work… what if it’s not enough?”

Honestly… our negative thoughts are dream killers if we let them.
And I swear, I do have to laugh at myself sometime, the way I let my mind run wild 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

But then…
24 hours later… journaled my arse off
A bit of morning Qigong…
A 7am frosty sunrise walk with my dogs… and suddenly I’m back in my body again.
Grounded. Grateful and very excited.
Remembering exactly why I’m doing this.

I’m human too.
I still wobble.
I still question myself.
But this is what I want you to know…

You can have doubts AND still show up.
You can wobble AND still rise.
You can feel low AND still be walking into your purpose.
Your feelings don’t mean you’re failing they mean you’re alive. And I even have to remind myself this too quite often!!

In a matter of days my new healing modality will be accredited. Professional. Recognised.
My heart could burst.
I’m so bloody happy right now 🥹💜

If you fancy joining us this weekend for some magic…
Morning Qigong — Saturday & Sunday 9:30–10:30am
In Otley Leeds, Come reset your energy with us. You’ll walk out lighter, calmer, and more connected… promise.

So effing excited for what’s coming.
Keep your eyes peeled 🥰🫶🏻

Questions I get asked about The Graceful Alignment Method👇

1️⃣ “Do I need to know anything about chakras or energy work before I start?”
Nope.
You don’t need to know a thing, just come with an open mind and a willingness to heal. I guide you through everything gently and clearly.

2️⃣ “What if I can’t visualise?”
Honestly… doesn’t matter.
Healing isn’t about seeing perfectly in your mind, it’s about what you feel in your body.
Most people feel sensations long before they ‘see’ anything any ways.

3️⃣ “Do I need to talk about my past?”
Absolutely not.
You never have to relive or retell painful memories. This work allows your body and subconscious to guide the release safely, softly, and without force.

4️⃣ “How do I know if it’s working?”
You’ll notice subtle shifts:
✨ Calmer emotions
✨ Better sleep
✨ Feeling lighter
✨ Less overthinking
✨ More grounded and clear
The change starts from the inside out.

If you’re feeling the pull to try this, you’re probably ready. 🥰

Have you ever heard the saying “from pain to purpose” ?

I never planned to create a healing modality.
I simply wanted to feel like myself again. It all started with me healing from the past!!

For years I was drowning in grief, people-pleasing, anger, burnout, drinking and drugs, and that horrible feeling of being disconnected from who I actually was. I tried to outrun it all, and let’s be honest, I drank my way through a lot of it because feeling nothing felt easier than feeling everything. 🤷🏼‍♀️

But life has a way of sitting you down when you refuse to listen.

So I started exploring. Self development, Reiki, quantum healing, Belief coding, Qigong, Subconscious healing, Somatics, Breathwork, and Psychology.
Piece by piece, I stitched myself back together, and I realised something huge….

Healing isn’t just one thing.
It’s all of it, focusing equally on your mind, body, soul, energy, nervous system, past and present versions of you working together. Seems like a lot?? 🤔

That’s exactly how The Graceful Alignment Method™ came to life.
Not from a business plan.
From a woman who was tired of her own pain and chose to do something about it. A woman who desperately wanted to help others “heal forwards” and not have to revisit their painful past experiences!! I’m not down for trauma looping 🫩 it’s exhausting 🙄

Now… watching other women use this method to shift their lives, regulate their bodies, release their pain, and reconnect with themselves, it genuinely blows my mind. Every single time. 🤯

💜 I am living proof that when you stop chasing perfection, stop trying to fix everything at once, and simply follow what calls to your soul… everything starts aligning.

If you’re feeling that pull…that whisper…that nudge you keep ignoring…

Maybe it’s time you trusted it.
Because your story gets to change too. And that is your decision 💪🏼💜

You decide what your life looks like 💜 be intentional about it 🫶🏻

Ever noticed how when your mind’s racing, your body tenses too? 😖
That’s because your nervous system and thoughts are in constant conversation, back and forth 🫣.
You can’t think your way out of stress & worry you have to move it through your body.

Here is one simple way to calm your mind & your body 👇🏻
Try this right now 😍 put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, hand on your heart, breathe in through your nose slowly and deeply, out through your nose slowly and deeply, let your shoulders drop, feel your feet on the floor, give yourself 30 seconds of stillness while you breathe deeply,imagin your thoughts passing through like fluffy clouds, in and out, your body will thank you for it.

Let me know how you get in 🫶🏻

That’s why I love Qigong so much. 🧘‍♀️
It’s gentle, grounding, and helps you reconnect to you instead of been somewhere else like the past or the future!!! It brings you back to the present moment!! 😊

I honestly can’t wait for Saturday’s Qigong session in Otley 🧘‍♀️
It’s also online if you want to join from home, it’s calm, grounding, and such a good reset for you for the week ahead 💪🏼

What a difference 12 hours makes when you are intentional with your time and healing 😁

I’m emotional this aft, in a nice way, the modules for The Graceful Alignment Method Practitioner Training are now complete 🥹

What a journey it’s been 😍 one I honestly doubted I’d be capable of, but here we are 🥹🫶🏻

The workbook is nearly complete too all I have to do is get it printed for our in person on 22-23rd November 💜😜

Such a huge milestone done ✔️💜 😁

Thank you to the trainees (case studies or guinea pigs I call them 🐹😂) all for your on going support, patience, feedback, dedication and especially their own healing and embodiment of the process 🥰

The graceful Alignment Method isn’t just another modality it’s the bridge between who you’ve been and who you’re here to be or should I say become, a full body, soul deep return to energetic alignment, healing, and truth. 💫💜 nothing more powerful than just been your beautiful self!!

The next 12 months are going to be mind blowing, and I can’t wait to see each of the trainees that decide to put their healing first and then move forward to help others heal too 🫶🏻 that’s the final stage of healing in my eyes passing on your knowledge and gifts.

Keep your eyes 👀 peeled and watch this space 💜

REMINDER : Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t, including yourself, self belief happens in time, through failure (there has been a lot) through procrastination and fear, learning and unlearning, so stop comparing yourself to everyone else and just be you 🥰 that’s good enough 😘

Ever felt like your body is trying to tell you something?? It holds onto emotions that your mind can’t explain!

That’s exactly what Qigong and my Ibiza Retreats are here to help you shift. 🧘‍♀️

I guide women who’ve been carrying stress, overthinking, stuck in the past or emotional heaviness, to help them reconnect with their bodies, regulate their energy, and find peace again through gentle movement, stillness, and soul level reflection.

Our weekly Qigong classes in Otley (and online) are where it all begins, grounding your energy, releasing tension, and creating space to breathe again. I’m excited for Saturday it’s our first session together 😁.

if you’re ready for the ultimate reset…
Join me in Ibiza, May or October 2026, for a truly transformational retreat experience, with sunrise Qigong, somatic healing, deep reflection, sound therapy, and that island magic you can’t quite put into words.

It’s more than a getaway, it’s a powerful homecoming. The ladies who joined us in October had the most incredible shifts, I’m so grateful for each of them for all they have shared since coming back home 🙏🏼🥰
