About Me

I am Charlotte — also known by my Buddhist name Hridayagita, “Song of the Heart.”

My work is rooted in a simple intention: to help people come back home to their bodies, their breath, and a deeper sense of ease within themselves.

I work with Craniosacral Therapy, Tai Chi, meditation, and trauma-informed nervous system practices, supporting people to gently unwind stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and patterns of holding that often sit beneath the surface of everyday life.

At the heart of everything I offer is this:
healing that is slow, safe, embodied, and deeply human.

My approach is gentle, relational, and deeply body-led.

Rather than trying to “fix” or push change, I work with the intelligence already present in the body — supporting it to reorganise, settle, and reconnect at its own pace.

Across all my work — whether in Craniosacral sessions, Tai Chi in the park, TRE®, or meditation — I hold space for:

  • nervous system regulation and settling
  • embodied awareness and presence
  • releasing held patterns of stress or overwhelm
  • reconnecting to ease, joy, and inner safety
  • rebuilding trust in the body’s natural intelligence

I bring a lightness and playfulness into the work where possible, because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy — often the deepest shifts come when we feel safe enough to soften.

How I work

My Journey

My path into this work has unfolded over many years, through teaching, movement, meditation, and a deep personal exploration of what it means to feel at home in the body.

I began my working life as a teacher, but over time I became increasingly aware of stress, overwhelm, and disconnection — both in myself and in the systems around me.

A turning point came when I was introduced to Tai Chi through classes with Alan Smith in Worcester. I opened to a completely different way of being in the body: grounded, spacious, and quietly powerful.

 

From there, my path deepened through:

  • meditation and Buddhist practice
  • training in Craniosacral Therapy
  • embodied trauma-awareness and nervous system work
  • long periods of personal practice, retreat, and reflection

I spent time at Taraloka Buddhist Retreat Centre, where my practice deepened into stillness, presence, and embodied awareness. I was also ordained, receiving the name Hridayagita — Song of the Heart, a name given to me as a practice for my life.  What is the heartsong? How do we find it? How do we heal it?

Returning to Worcester in 2022, I began sharing Tai Chi, developing my Craniosacral practice and exploring TRE® as a tool for embodiment, connection and working with trauma.

Today, I weave all of these threads together into a simple intention:
to support people in coming back into relationship with themselves.

Testimonials

I’ve experienced similar with Reiki in the past, but with Craniosacral Therapy it seemed that Charlotte could tap in at a very precise and deep level to gently rebalance my body and encourage healing. I had been having problems sleeping following a shoulder injury, but feel like something has been shifted to re establish my natural wellbeing.
I was astonished...

I had six sessions for myself and my baby girl and I feel like I have a different baby now! (In a good way!). She’s more confident, and communicating differently – not just straight to crying.

I also feel like some of the trauma from the birth has shifted through me and I’m starting to recover.

More confident...
