A Very Warm Welcome to Heart Space Healing & Therapies

Hello, I’m Amy, and I’m so happy you’ve found your way here.

A little bit about me… I’m a born-and-bred Yorkshire lass who loves all things creative, natural and holistic, and anything that makes your heart happy.

I’m a mum to two beautiful girls, Beatrice (Bea) and Constance (Connie), who are the absolute inspiration and driving force behind Heart Space Healing & Therapies.

Alongside being a mum, I’m a secondary school teacher of almost 20 years and have been leading departments for over 10. I have a huge passion for the Arts and the power of creativity, particularly the way it can become a source of healing, expression and therapy in such a busy and demanding world. I’m still teaching and leading a very successful department alongside building this little dream of mine.

My Own Healing Journey

A few years ago, I found myself experiencing complete burnout. My nervous system felt completely dysregulated, I was exhausted, constantly on edge and running on empty.

I rarely made time for myself because ‘mum guilt’ always seemed to take over. But the truth was that by not allowing myself time to rest, recharge and simply be Amy, I wasn’t giving my children the best version of me either.

My coping mechanisms became reaching for a glass of wine after a long week or indulging in chocolate to make myself feel a little better. I knew something needed to change. My skin was suffering, I felt unhappy in my body and, most importantly, I wasn’t feeling like myself.

I began exploring alternative, natural ways to support my wellbeing, find some calm and feel more emotionally balanced.

Discovering the Power of Nature

This is when I discovered doTERRA essential oils.

I genuinely feel they were a turning point in my journey. I began incorporating essential oils into my daily routines to support my emotional wellbeing and create moments of calm in an otherwise hectic life.

Over time, I found healthier ways to unwind and look after myself. I no longer felt the need to reach for a glass of wine after a particularly challenging week of teaching, and I’m incredibly proud to say that I haven’t had an alcoholic drink for over two years.

Experiencing the benefits of creating more natural, mindful rituals inspired me to explore other ways of nurturing my body and mind.

One of these was ceremonial cacao. I now enjoy a daily cup with my husband each morning, creating a little moment of connection and intention before the day begins. It’s a ritual we both love, and a beautiful way to introduce antioxidant-rich cacao into our daily routine.

And finally, in my search for skincare and body care products without ingredients I wanted to avoid, such as certain preservatives and potential hormone-disrupting chemicals, I discovered Tropic.

It’s a company I’m incredibly proud to advocate for and represent as an ambassador. Knowing that my family and I are using products that are cruelty-free, thoughtfully formulated and effective has given me a real boost in confidence and helped me develop a much more intentional approach to self-care.

The Heart Behind It All

Today, I’m in such a happier and healthier place, and I want to share some of the things I’ve discovered along the way.

Alongside my own wellbeing journey, experiencing holistic treatments such as Reiki and aromatherapy massage had a profound impact on me. I loved the sense of calm, relaxation and reconnection these practices created, and they inspired me to learn these therapies for myself. I’m now able to offer them to others, creating a safe and nurturing space where you can pause, restore and receive the same kind of care and support that helped me so much.

I would love to support others in my community to find their own moments of calm, creativity, connection and happiness through holistic wellbeing, creative therapies and the natural products that have become such an important part of my own journey.

Heart Space Healing & Therapies is so much more than a business. It’s a dream born from my own experiences, challenges and healing journey.

It’s about creating a space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, explore your creativity and give yourself permission to put your own wellbeing first.

Because looking after yourself isn’t selfish. It’s essential.

I’d love to welcome you into my world and hopefully be a little part of your own wellbeing journey.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for being here.

If you’d like to know more about anything I offer, or simply want to have a chat, please do get in touch. I’d absolutely love to hear from you.

With care and love,

Amy xx
