Certified Touch/Cuddle Therapist and Reiki Practitioner in Birmingham

I'm Kara, founder, and the heart behind Heartfelt Healing.

For many years, I worked in roles that supported people through some of life’s most difficult moments — in care, bereavement support, and offering advice and guidance within charities. It was work filled with compassion and purpose, but I came to realise something was missing.

Again and again, I saw how often words weren’t enough. What people truly longed for was human connection — to feel held, supported, and safe in the presence of another.

I began exploring the power of supportive, healing touch. and the deep routed science behind it. From that, Heartfelt Healing was born.

My Mission

At Heartfelt Healing, my mission is simple: to offer a calm, nurturing space where people can experience the healing benefits of safe, platonic touch.

I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and held with compassion. Through cuddle therapy, I bring together my background in emotional support with the missing piece of human connection.

Whether you are navigating stress, grief, loneliness, recovering after illness or surgery, or seeking deep acceptance for physical scars and body image concerns, you are welcome here — exactly as you are.
