🌿 About Sheila 🌿

Welcome Sheila Cristina Healing & Beyond

I’m Sheila - a Spiritual Healer and Integrative Complementary Therapist based in the London Borough of Ealing.

With over 16 years of experience in London working with Spiritual Healing and Integrative Therapies, I offer personalised treatments that support your emotional, mental, physical, energy field and spiritual well-being.

A Journey Rooted in Healing

My connection to healing began long before I understood what it was. As a child growing up in Sao Paulo, Brazil, my grandmother would often tell me how I instinctively laid hands on others and picked plants from her garden to bless people. At the time, I thought of it as nothing more than child’s play, something innocent. Through my childhood I used to received healing from a local healer and sometimes with my great-grandmother which helped me a lot.

By the age of twelve while balancing school, work and enjoying adolescence like any teenager I began exploring many subjects and asking deeper questions about life. Sometimes I accompanied my mother to the spiritism centre at the FEB Spiritist Federation of Sao Paulo and after some time continued attending on my own and among other paths. This is the beginning of my thirty-eight-year journey of curiosity and discovery sparked a lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal development.

Years later, I moved to London to begin a new chapter. What I thought would be a fresh start quickly became something more profound. Life has a way of guiding us, even when we don’t realise it. Looking back, I now understand that the challenges and changes I faced were part of a greater calling. The move to the UK was not just a relocation; it was a redirection, leading me to the path I was always meant to walk.

That move marked a turning point while settling into life in London, I had an experience that would deepen my connection to healing in a way I hadn’t anticipated. On the way to a job interview, I passed a spiritualist church and felt drawn to it. Though it was closed, I noted the phone number, called and returned the following week for a healing service. That visit introduced me to spiritual healing and something within me resonated deeply.

I began attending weekly healing sessions and after a year of receiving support, I started volunteering at the church, helping with reception and events. One day, a senior healer invited me to offer healing myself. I was hesitant, but with her encouragement, I gave my first session to a woman who had never experienced healing before. Her and my positive response affirmed something I hadn’t yet fully realised because I always avoided it even though I was invited from the beginning of this journey in my country: this was officially the beginning of my path as a healer.

To continue attending and offering healing within the church, I enrolled in formal training, and I haven’t looked back since.

From Personal Healing to Professional Practice

Following those early experiences in the spiritualist church, I deepened my practice through formal training and hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve worked in award-winning spas, NHS hospitals cancer and palliative care settings, spiritualist churches, healing centres, events and private clients. I’ve also volunteered extensively, offering healing in hospitals, circles and at the community.

Aside from spiritual healing and integrative therapies journey, in the 1990s at the beginning of my exploration in São Paulo I started attending various lectures, workshops and took some courses and initially in the United Kingdom too.

Although my work is not only intuitive and it is integrative as well because I believe in the importance of studies as a means of deepening knowledge in various different areas. Spiritual Healing and like the other therapies I do for me is a lifestyle; it requires commitment, discipline, effort, consistency, strengthening the connection with the divine, understanding of others and oneself, and above all, a willingness to help others with an open heart and mind.

Professional Memberships

I am an independent healer, and I am also registered member of the recognized healing organization.
I’ve also developed my own signature of Energy Body Therapy, personalized to each client’s unique needs.

My Approach

I believe healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. Every session begins with a consultation and is tailored to you as a whole person, not just your symptoms. Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, emotional balance, physical recovery, or spiritual alignment, I create a safe, nurturing space for you to relax, recharge and reconnect with your inner-self with a simple and uncomplicated approach.

I continue to practise daily self-healing, because I believe that to support others, we must first care for ourselves. Healing is a lifelong journey, and I walk it with you, not ahead of you.

Healing to me is far more than the transmission of energy. It is a journey of deep connection, self-awareness and transformation. That’s why I call my work Healing and Beyond.

This path has taken me beyond theory and into lived experience. I’ve set aside other careers and studies to fully dedicate myself to the healing journey. Through years of working with people from all walks of life, in many different settings and private clients I’ve come to understand that healing is not about having a special gift or supernatural power. It’s about presence, intention, self-healing, the willingness to grow and help people.

I believe that everyone has the innate capacity to heal and have intuitive propensities. My role is just to support that process; to hold space and help you reconnect with your own energy and inner wisdom.

Healing is for Everyone

Over the years, I’ve facilitated:

Remote and in-person healing sessions
Healing circles and shares group (open to all and for fellow healers)
Animal healing for pets and wildlife
Spiritual healing in hospitals and community spaces
Fundraising and charity events through healing work

I don’t believe in labels or hierarchies. We all have the capacity to heal and grow. My role is simply support, facilitate, hold space for your transformation, your own self-healing and well-being. That`s why I love healing because it welcomes everyone of any beliefs with open arms. Healing is for everyone!

Grateful and Guided

I’m deeply grateful to every teacher, client, patient and experience that has shaped my path—from my early teachers in São Paulo and London, to the spiritual communities and professional networks I’ve joined in around the world and also the special souls were part of my journey who are not here on the earthly plane but are in my heart, such as Dona Maria (healer), my teachers Luiz A. Gasparetto and Adhemar Ramos and also Janet Neville (healer). Each step, person and synchronicity, has brought me closer to my purpose.

As I continue to learn and evolve, I remain committed to offering healing that is grounded, compassionate and non-judgemental treatment. If you feel called to begin or deepen your healing journey or just receive healing for your own self-healing and well-being I`d, be honoured to walk alongside you.

🕊️ With warmth and gratitude,

Sheila your colleague of journey

The reason that I love working with spiritual healing because is consciousness, an inner work, subtle, holistic, intuitive, spiritual, human energy consciousness system, energy medicine and it is a relationship to emotional, physical and energetic health. I am very grateful for having received spiritual healing since my childhood and today for being an instrument with everything I do because the process of healing has a beginning, but it has no end, and I will be an eternal apprentice in this school of life.
