About Me
Hi, I’m Graina, and I believe deeply in people’s ability to transform their lives. I have a background in teaching and leadership roles in pastoral care and SEND, working with a range of age groups, helping them navigate challenges and reconnect with their strengths. This foundation has shaped my holistic approach to healing, coaching, and empowerment, drawing on the mind-body connection to encourage self-efficacy and transformation. I’m a certified biodynamic craniosacral therapist, accredited solution-focused brief therapist, and empowerment coach, blending trauma-informed practices with relational approaches. I offer a supportive environment where clients feel witnessed and safe enough to explore their own innate wisdom. When I’m not working, I love connecting with nature and the elements—especially fire—and spending time with my wonderful dog, Rita, who often accompanies me in sessions. Rita is a gentle and wise soul who brings comfort and joy to everyone she meets. Walking her (often joined by my curious cats) brings me a sense of calm and a deep connection to life’s simple wonders. I’m also passionate about lifelong learning and continue to expand my knowledge and skills through regular training and CPD opportunities.
My Approach
My approach is grounded in respect, compassion, and curiosity, integrating evidence-based techniques and a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. Healing and growth come from within, with the body’s innate wisdom guiding the process. Just as a sunflower naturally turns toward the sun, our body, mind, and spirit orient toward health, vitality, and wholeness. Whether through craniosacral therapy, solution-focused conversations, or empowerment coaching and firewalking, I create a safe, supportive space for you to reconnect with your inner resources, explore new possibilities, and take meaningful steps toward transformation. Each approach is guided by the principle of focusing on health, vitality, and possibility. My role is to listen deeply and hold a safe space where you can uncover the tools you already have to heal, grow, and transform.
