“I Didn’t Know What My Body Was Trying to Tell Me”

Before starting this work, I was dealing with a number of physical symptoms. Some were clearly linked to stress and my emotional state, while others were harder to explain. Emotionally, I was fairly stable and functioning day to day, but underneath that I felt a deep sense of disconnection and stuckness — like something was holding me back from fully living my life, without me really knowing what or why.

I’d been considering acupuncture and deeper healing work for a long time. I’d already explored many other conventional and complementary therapies to try to understand and treat my physical symptoms. I’d also had a very positive experience with talking therapy, but I reached a point where it felt like it didn’t quite go far enough. It helped me understand things mentally, but it didn’t really address what I was experiencing in my body.

When I first came in, I wasn’t at all sure what the issue was. In many ways, I thought my body simply wasn’t functioning properly — and maybe never would. Over time, I came to realise that my symptoms weren’t random or broken responses, but signals pointing to areas of my life that were out of balance.

I’ve always felt incredibly calm in Grace’s presence. Her approach feels very gentle, but also clearly focused and intentional. After sessions — both acupuncture and theta — I consistently feel better in myself: brighter, clearer in my mind, and more open in my body. When I’ve experienced flare-ups of physical symptoms, I’ve often found real relief in the days and weeks following treatment.

The introduction of theta work was a big turning point for me. It didn’t just help shift my mindset around things that were holding me back — it shone a clear light on what was really happening internally. That clarity changed how I related to myself and my symptoms.

Since starting treatment, my physical symptoms have improved significantly — in some cases they’ve disappeared entirely. Emotionally, I feel much more connected to myself, my life, the world around me, and the people in it. My self-esteem and confidence have grown, and I feel far clearer about what I want from my life and how to move towards it.
