I’m creating a Graceful Healing Space 🩷💜
A gentle, non-profit community space for children and families navigating grief.

This has come from lived experience, love, and a deep knowing that grief can feel incredibly lonely, especially for children who don’t yet have the words for what they’re carrying.

I’m currently looking for kind-hearted humans and local businesses who may be able to support us with donations, such as:
✨ craft materials
✨ paper, card, pens, paints, stickers
✨ jars, boxes, art bits, big pebbles
✨ biscuits, snacks, tea, coffee
✨ squash / juice cartons
✨ big bean bags and snuggle blankets
✨ anything that helps create a warm, welcoming space

If you can help amazing.
If you can’t sharing this post is just as powerful.

🙏 Please tag or share this with anyone you think might be able to support, whether that’s a local business, community group, church, school, charity, or someone with a big heart.

This space will always be:
🌱 Free
🌱 Parent-present
🌱 Community-led
🌱 Held with love and trauma informed safety

Thank you for helping this grow. 🥰
Thank you for being part of something that truly matters.

With so much gratitude,
Amanda 💜

I seen this pic the other day and it made me laugh 🤭 I save everything often, do you??

I’ve been editing content, pulling together feedback, and just sitting with how powerful the last 7-Day Energy Anchor Reset actually was a few months ago.

Women came in feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in their heads… and within a week they were saying things like:

“I feel lighter in my chest.”
“My mornings feel calmer.”
“I finally understand what my body’s been trying to tell me.”
“I haven’t felt this grounded in YEARS.”
“This challenge has changed my life”

And that’s the part that gets me every single time. It’s not “just a challenge.”
It’s a reset of your energy, your emotions, your truth… a coming home to yourself without forcing, pushing or revisiting old pain. (Not down for that 😖)

Behind the scenes, I’m getting everything ready for the January challenge, perfect time to start as you mean to go on, the free guide is sorted and ready, the daily anchor lessons, the healing tasks… all of it created to gently guide you back into alignment after a hectic Xmas, a hectic year even.

This reset changed lives last time, mine included, and seeing what it unlocked for women is exactly why I do what I do.
It’s gentle.
It’s powerful.
It’s realistic and knowledgeable,
And it works.

If your body’s been say “I need this…”
You probably do.
And I cannot wait to hold this space for you again. Oh and it’s 🆓 😋
💜

You can grab you free guide ready for January just hop over to my story and I’ll see you there 🥰

Here’s where I’m at today… 😊

Behind the scenes editing training videos from November’s in person training for the ladies in The Graceful Alignment practitioner training, I’m also holding space for my own healing, and taking things one gentle step at a time.

December feels tender this year,it also feels grounded, I’m very present.. which is different, and nice actually.

I guess it’s a reminder that healing isn’t always pretty, sometimes it’s messy AF, it’s emotional, and real… but also gentle and calm, and that’s okay.

When I’m “working”, or creating (it’s not like work) I’m also healing, there is something about it I really love 🥰.

I’m leaning into the quiet parts of the journey tbh, trusting what’s unfolding, and showing up anyway.

Healing looks different for everyone but this is my version 🥰

This time of year can feel heavy.
Whether you’re living with grief, moving through family stuff, or just feeling off, it’s easy to feel alone.

I just want to say that you’re not alone, although it very much feels like it doesn’t it?
And there’s nothing wrong with you for feeling this way. Sometimes we just want to be alone and that’s ok!

Being alone isn’t a bad thing, but when it starts to feel heavy… please reach out, too a friend or someone you trust, even to me.
Because honestly… I still get days like this too.

When we’re struggling, we often isolate ourselves because we don’t want to burden anyone or we simply just need space, to process our thoughts and feelings, but connection is definitely medicine.
A walk 🚶‍♀️
A coffee ☕️
A chat 😁
A bit of fresh air and someone who listens really does help.

That been said if you need something gentle to look forward to I’m running a free 7 Day Energy Anchor Reset in January, it’s perfect timing after the Xmas madness.
A chance to reconnect with yourself, your body, soften your energy, and feel supported again.

Check my stories to book on (it’s 🆓)

I just need to take a breath and celebrate something really bloody special today…

One of my very first Graceful Alignment practitioners, Vikki, held her first ever session this week.
She has honestly blew me away. 🥰

This woman has done the work.
Not just the surface level mindset stuff… but real healing.
The uncomfortable shifts.
The moments of “is this really moving?”
The breakthroughs that change how you breathe, how you walk, how you show up in life.

She’s embodied this method from the inside out, and because of that, she’s now guiding others in the most grounded, gentle, powerful way. All while she is healing….. 🫶🏻

And the feedback she received…
💜 “The next day I woke with a sore throat from the release, emotionally and energetically I feel so much lighter.”
💜 “It feels like a weight I’d been carrying for years has finally lifted.”
💜 “I feel grounded, clearer, and aligned with my best future self.”
💜 “I honestly feel really really good and want to continue with the inner work”

Do you know how huge that is?
For someone’s first ever session?
It’s magic. It’s Real, embodied, soul level amazingness. 🪄

I’m so proud of her I could cry, but happy tears obviously 🥰 and this is only the beginning for her 🫶🏻

I’m also proud of what I’ve created, a modality that truly meets people where they are and helps them shift what their mind, body, and energy have been holding for years… with gentleness, safety, and depth, and may I add without having to revisit the past, NOT ONCE!!

Vikki… you are phenomenal, and this is only the beginning my love.

Here’s to more healing, more alignment, and more women remembering who the f**k they are. 💪🏼🥰💜

Xmas tree day in our house finally 🤗🎄💜

Every year this moment brings a mixture of emotions for me.

The Xmas music goes on, the lights go up, the kids help (even if they’re getting older and doing their own thing), and then the wave of feelings hit….. Que the memories, the people who aren’t here anymore, and the reminder of just how much life has changed, and how delicate life is, that we often take for granted.

This year I forgot the decorations so had to take a trip to the storage unit to grab them and we ended up in Home Bargains… £40 later and I’m laughing because this is life isn’t it? Imperfect, chaotic, emotional and beautiful at the same time 😂

Nearly 2 years sober and Christmas feels different in the best way. No hangovers. No anxiety filled sadness. No hiding. No numbing the sadness or overwhelm with wine!!! 🙄

Just presence, moments, and lots of love.

Because yes, I feel the ache of the ones missing, I always do especially November and December. I miss my Dad, my beautiful Gracie, my beautiful friends Emma and Dawn.
Their baubles go on my tree every year and I swear it feels like they show up with us. 💜 I can feel them as soon as they go one the tree 🎄.

At the same time my heart is full watching Florence hang her decorations, my family laughing, and knowing how far we have come together.🥰

Grief and joy can live in the same room. I never thought that was possible but my journey has proved this.
Healing and nostalgia can sit side by side.
You don’t have to choose one or the other you can sit with both 🥰.

Here’s to the messy, magical, emotional Xmas moments.
Here’s to the memories we hold onto.
Here’s to the people we love in heaven and here on earth.

If the Xmas holidays are heavy for you too, I see you.
You’re not alone in that.

💜 🎄 💜 🎄

There’s something about watching water move that reminds me of our own healing.

It never forces itself.
It never rushes or panics.
It just keeps flowing regardless… even around the hardest rocks.
Yes it’s rough sometimes but it still flows all the same.

Healing can feel the opposite sometimes.
Heavy. Slow. Unfair.
Some days you want to quit and stay where you are because the discomfort feels safer than the unknown.

I’ve been there too.
Where numbness feels easier than changing.
Where staying stuck feels less painful than facing yourself.

But we often forget that we don’t have to fight our way through healing. You just have to allow yourself to move again.
Softly. Slowly. Steadily.

So here’s what to do instead when it feels too much:

💧 Take the smallest step you can.
💧 Breathe before you react.
💧 Ask your body “What are you trying to tell me?”
💧 Give yourself rest, not punishment.
💧 Reach out instead of shutting down.
💧 Trust that you’re not starting from scratch,you’re starting from wisdom.

Healing doesn’t always look like bravery.
Sometimes it looks like sitting by the stream and letting your nervous system settle enough for the next step to appear.

Keep flowing.
Keep moving.
Keep choosing you.

You were never meant to stay stuck.

If your body could speak today, what would it say you need?

💜 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
