Maria Esposito BSc (hons)– Holistic Healing & Heart-Led Therapy

Healing from the Heart — Working with Sensitive Humans from Babies to Adults

I have been working in complementary health since 1990, supporting babies, children and adults through a multidisciplinary approach that brings together science, therapeutic knowledge, intuition and the wisdom of the body.

My work is centred around one simple principle: every person is different, and every body has its own story.

I work particularly sensitively with people who may be highly responsive to their environment, emotions or physical experiences. This includes babies and young children, parents, and adults who may be experiencing trauma, fatigue, overwhelm, physical sensitivities or a sense of being disconnected from themselves.

Rather than following a single therapeutic model, I draw on a broad range of training and experience to understand the individual in front of me and identify the most appropriate pathway of support.

A Truly Multidisciplinary Approach

My background combines Health Science and Nutritional Therapy with a wide range of complementary and therapeutic disciplines. Depending on the individual, I may draw upon:

• Nutritional Therapy and NAET to support people experiencing sensitivities and reactions
• Craniosacral Therapy, particularly for babies, children and mothers, including support around birth experiences, physical tension, colic and emotional regulation
• NLP and Health Coaching to support positive change, empowerment and new ways of responding
• Mindfulness Meditation to encourage presence, awareness and greater connection with the body
• Trauma-informed approaches to support people carrying the effects of difficult or overwhelming experiences
• Heart-led and intuitive practices, informed by my ongoing exploration of the connection between science, consciousness and spirituality

These approaches can be used individually or integrated together, depending on what is most appropriate for each person.

Working with Babies and Children

Babies and children are at the heart of my work.

They are often incredibly sensitive, and their bodies and nervous systems can respond to experiences before they have the words to express what they are feeling. I therefore work gently, respectfully and intuitively, paying close attention to the individual child and the relationship between child and parent.

Craniosacral therapy and other supportive approaches may be used to help babies and children who are experiencing physical discomfort, unsettled behaviour, sleep difficulties or the effects of stressful or challenging experiences.

I also work closely with parents, recognising that supporting the child can be part of supporting the whole family.

Supporting Adults Through Change

My work with adults is equally holistic.

People may come to me feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally unsettled or simply aware that something in their lives needs to change. Others may be exploring long-standing patterns, sensitivities or the effects of past experiences.

I bring together my different areas of training to explore the person as a whole — body, mind, emotions and spirit — while respecting each person’s unique pace and needs.

The intention is not simply to address a symptom, but to help people become more grounded, present, balanced and connected.

Working from the Higher Heart

My approach is deeply heart-led.

I believe that genuine therapeutic work begins with creating a space where a person feels heard, respected, safe and supported. From this place, we can begin to explore what the body and mind may be communicating and what kind of support may be most helpful.

My scientific background gives me a strong foundation, while my intuitive and spiritual practice allows me to listen beyond the obvious and remain open to the uniqueness of each person.

For me, these are not opposing worlds. I am continually exploring the space where science, healing and spirituality meet.

More Than One Path to Wellbeing

Over more than 30 years, I have worked with thousands of clients, including hundreds of babies and children.

This experience has taught me that there is rarely one answer that fits everyone. Sometimes the most appropriate support is through one therapy; sometimes it is a combination of approaches; and sometimes another practitioner or specialist is the right person to provide additional care.

My role is to listen, to explore and to work collaboratively with each individual and family to find the most appropriate pathway.

I may also work alongside or refer to other therapists and healthcare professionals when this is in the person’s best interests.

Creating Foundations for Positive Change

My aim is to support people in releasing unhelpful patterns, becoming more connected to themselves and developing greater resilience and awareness.

For babies and children, this can mean creating positive foundations from the very beginning, with parents lovingly involved in the process.

For adults, it may mean reconnecting with the body, finding greater emotional balance, developing new patterns of thinking and responding, or simply learning to feel more present in everyday life.

Whatever the age, my work is grounded in compassion, curiosity and respect for the body’s innate wisdom.

About Maria

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Health Science (Nutritional Therapy) and am a MBANT, MCSTA and MCHNC professional. My additional training includes:

NAET Practitioner · Craniosacral Therapist · NLP Practitioner & Health Coach · Mindfulness Meditation Teacher · Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) · HeartMath Resilient Heart Practitioner

I continue to develop my knowledge and understanding, particularly around the relationship between science, spirituality, the nervous system, early-life experiences and human wellbeing.

Whether I am working with a tiny baby, a young child, a parent or an adult, my intention remains the same:

to meet each person where they are, listen deeply, and help create the conditions for greater balance, connection and wellbeing.

Healing from the Heart

For babies. For children. For adults.
For sensitive human beings.
Body, mind and soul.

Reiki for Humans and Pets

Reiki has become an important addition to my multidisciplinary practice.

I offer Reiki in a gentle, compassionate way for adults and pets, adapting the way I work to the individual and their needs.

Animals can be remarkably sensitive to energy, atmosphere and changes within their environment. Reiki can provide a quiet, supportive space in which they can relax and settle. My dog loved his healing time and the last two years of his life even more so!

For humans, Reiki can be experienced as a deeply calming and nurturing practice, and may be incorporated alongside other approaches as part of a wider holistic session. This is particular supportive, when done online, where the person can relax in their own environment, as well for their pets. Sometimes if the person has a pet, they can get the same healing together or separate for the most focused healing.

For me, Reiki complements my existing work because it offers another way of working with the whole being — body, mind, emotions and energy — while maintaining the same gentle, heart-led approach.

Investing in your health, and in the health and wellbeing of your family and pets, can be one of the most meaningful investments you make.

Taking time to listen to the body, support emotional wellbeing and create healthier patterns can make a positive difference not only in how you feel today, but also in the foundations you create for the future.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, your baby, or a beloved pet, my approach is about meeting each individual with care, compassion and respect, and finding the pathway that feels right for them.

Sometimes a small step towards greater balance and connection can become the beginning of a much bigger change.

Your wellbeing matters. Your family’s wellbeing matters. And every individual deserves to feel supported, heard and cared for.
