My Story
"I didn't come to this work from a textbook. I came from lived experience — and that changes everything."
— Sally, Chrysalis Healing
My path into holistic health wasn't a straight line. It wound through years of noticing that the women around me were exhausted, disconnected from their bodies, and running on empty — and that conventional approaches weren't giving them the whole picture.
I trained as a Reiki Master because I experienced firsthand how profoundly energy work can shift something that nothing else touches. I added somatic massage, AcuSound tuning fork therapy, and Indian head massage as I kept learning — not to build an impressive list of qualifications, but because each modality answered a need I kept seeing in the women I worked with.
And then functional health testing changed the way I practise entirely.
When you can measure what's actually happening in someone's body — their omega balance, their vitamin D levels, their gut health, their blood sugar regulation — and then support them with the right protocols and nutrition, healing stops being a feeling and starts being a process you can track. That combination of the intuitive and the evidence-based is where Chrysalis Healing lives.
I work from a private garden studio in Wickford, Essex. It's quiet here. Unhurried. That's by design. I see one client at a time, and I give every session my full attention. This is not a spa. It's not a clinic. It's somewhere in between — and that's exactly where the work gets done.
