Founder of Pure Heart Centre · Emotional Healing & Conscious Leadership
For more than three decades, I’ve been sitting in real rooms (and now Zoom rooms) with real people — practitioners, parents, leaders, carers, business owners, and the quietly sensitive humans in between — who are tired of holding so much for everyone else while ignoring what’s happening inside of them.
Underneath all of that, I’m a mother, a nan, a human who has had to walk her own path through grief, burnout, responsibility, ancestral patterns and the very real work of learning to live differently from the inside out.
My work exists because I know, from lived experience, that it is possible to change your outer life by changing how you relate to your inner world—but not through mindset alone. It happens through your heart, your nervous system, your energy field, and your willingness to listen to the truth.
1. Private Emotional Healing & Consults
Spaces to bring what’s really happening in your life—emotionally, relationally, energetically—and have it held in a way that includes your heart, body and nervous system, not just your mind. We work with patterns, communication, boundaries, ancestry, levels of consciousness and practical next steps.
2. Lead with Heart – Book & Companion Workbook
A heart‑led, nervous‑system‑aware framework for understanding your own patterns, emotions and levels of consciousness. The eBook gives you the map; the workbook gives you questions, space and small experiments so the work lives in your real life, not just in your head.
3. Pure Heart Connection & Emotional Healer Training
For those wanting to deepen their own healing and/or begin holding space for others. We work with the heart field, cellular memory, emotion vs intuition, communication and responsibility in a clear, repeatable method.
4. Pure Heart Reiki & Practitioner Pathways
From Reiki 1 for personal support through to Reiki 3, Sound Therapy, Breathwork, emotional work and supervised practice inside the 12‑Month Pure Heart Practitioner Journey, for those called to multi‑modality, heart‑led practice.
5. Sunday Night Distant Reiki Healing Circle
Weekly distant Reiki plus personal and collective oracle guidance to support your nervous system and heart as you move through your week. A gentle ongoing anchor for clients, students and community.
6. Speaking, Keynotes & Corporate Training
Talks and programs on emotional health, boundaries, communication, nervous‑system‑aware leadership and heart‑led culture for organisations and communities who want their people well, clear and connected.
You don’t need my whole autobiography, but it may help to know that I didn’t arrive here through theory.
My early life, like many of yours, was shaped by:
family systems where certain emotions weren’t welcome,
roles I unconsciously took on to keep the peace and hold everyone together,
and a deep sense of responsibility without many places to put my own pain.
In my thirties & forties, I explored different healing and spiritual traditions, studied and practised Reiki, emotional healing, trauma‑aware work, intuitive development and leadership. I created a family. I supported my husband. I made mistakes. I burnt out. I rebuilt.
I’ve then been a single mother, a student again after many years, a woman building a new life more than once. I’ve lost my centre and had to learn, over and over, how to come back to myself. All of that sits quietly behind the frameworks I now teach.
Over time, through thousands of 1‑1 sessions and groups, patterns emerged:
The same emotional themes, even in very different lives.
The same communication wounds.
The same nervous‑system states behind people’s “stuckness”.
The same shifts when people began to take loving responsibility for their inner world.
From this, the Conscious Energy Evolution Framework and the Pure Heart Connection Method formed—not as abstract concepts, but as living maps for the work I was already doing with people almost every day.
As my work grew, I wanted a way for you to sit with these frameworks and practices in your own space, at your own pace—without needing to be in a room with me.
That’s why I wrote Lead with Heart.
Lead with Heart is for the naturally responsible, heart‑led person who:
is often the one others turn to for support,
has done mindset work but still finds themselves looping in the same patterns,
and knows that growth now needs to include their emotions, nervous system and heart—not just more strategy.
In the book, I share:
the Conscious Energy Evolution Framework (how your levels of consciousness shape what you see and choose),
the Pure Heart Connection Method (heart field, cellular memory, emotion vs intuition),
and real‑life examples of how this plays out in relationships, practice, business and leadership.
To walk beside the book, I created the Lead with Heart Companion Workbook—for those of you who like to actually write with yourself as you go. It includes:
a “Close 2025 First” process and Heart‑Honest Inventory,
guided modules on communication patterns, nervous system, family/ancestral threads,
an Emotion vs Intuition process,
and a 30‑day practice plan so this doesn’t stay as “good ideas” in your head.
If you’re not ready for sessions or training yet, starting with the eBook and, when you’re ready, the workbook, is a beautiful way to begin this work together.
One thing I’ve learnt, personally and professionally, is that inner work becomes more sustainable when your nervous system is regularly supported.
That’s why we offer the Sunday Night Distant Reiki Healing Circle.
Every Sunday evening, you’re included in a distant Reiki session, PLUS you receive:
a personal oracle card for your week ahead,
and a collective card for the whole circle.
There are no calls or cameras. You simply set your intention to receive, create a little pocket of quiet if you can, and let yourself be held.
It’s especially supportive if:
you’re already doing inner work (with the book, workbook, therapy, coaching or our trainings),
you’re a practitioner or leader who holds a lot for others,
or you’re in a season of change and would like a gentle, regular place to land.
My work is grounded in:
over 35+ years of emotional healing work with clients and on myself,
long‑term study and practice in energy work, Reiki, meditation and consciousness,
ongoing professional learning (including a Diploma of Counselling & Transpersonal Counselling),
and lived exploration of how astrology, energy and emotional patterns interact.
I’ve had the privilege of being mentored by gifted healers and teachers over the years. Their influence is woven into what I now teach, always with an emphasis on personal responsibility, nervous‑system care and practical, grounded spirituality.
Professionally, I wear many hats. Personally, I am also:
a mother to three beautiful daughters - Danielle, Laura & Jess
a nan and a friend,
a woman who loves quiet mornings, being close to nature, and the everyday sacredness of family life.
My family has both shaped and been shaped by this work.
They are often the first to see where I am being asked to evolve next. Much of how I teach about communication, heart-centred care and responsibility has been forged in the very real, sometimes messy, always teaching ground of home.
I share this because I’m walking my path alongside you: always learning, listening, and being asked to choose love and truth in very ordinary, human moments.
When I think of Moira, I don’t just see “the founder of Pure Heart Centre” or “the creator of frameworks”. I see the woman who sat with me in one of the most emotionally challenging chapters of my life and met me as a whole human when I barely felt like one.
I’ve watched her hold people in their most raw, messy, honest places with a kind of steadiness that only comes from someone who has done her own work, again and again. She doesn’t rush to fix. She doesn’t hide behind spiritual language. She tells the truth with a softness that somehow makes you braver, not more ashamed.
Over the years, as our relationship evolved from client–practitioner to colleague and good friend, what has stayed the same is her integrity, humour & humility. She lives what she teaches about responsibility, boundaries, nervous‑system care and heart‑led living. There is a consistency between who she is in a session, in a classroom, behind the microphone and at the kitchen table.
She is also very human: she laughs, she cries, she questions herself, she keeps learning. She can hold big spiritual perspectives and still care about how your body slept last night or whether you’ve eaten today. For me, that mix of depth and earth is part of what makes her so rare & so beautifully needed.
If you’re considering working with Moira, reading her book, or stepping into any of the Pure Heart pathways, my experience is that you will be met by someone who is deeply skilled, deeply human, and genuinely committed to your inner freedom. Someone who will stand beside you, not above you, as you find your own way back to your heart.
With love,

Moira is curating a new wave of in‑person events with her daughter Jess (@events_with_heart), created to bring people together to experience what she teaches about consciousness, emotional healing, boundaries and heart‑led living.
These gatherings are intimate, experiential spaces where you can explore this work in real time—through practices, conversations and connection with others on a similar journey.
Together, Moira and Jess have created events that highlight women’s wisdom and feminine power, collaborating with other heart‑led practitioners to create multi‑layered spaces of support.
Alongside these live experiences, Moira continues to host donation‑only podcasts and events with other heart‑led practitioners, to bring awareness, education and inspiration to diverse communities.
She is also in the process of writing more books, as part of her commitment to leaving a body of wisdom on the planet that can support generations to come.
Each new creation is an expression of her mission: to help people live from their heart truth and raise consciousness in everyday life.
If you’d like to be notified when new events, collaborations and books are released, you’re warmly invited to join the mailing list below or reach out via the contact page.
