A British author who turned personal adversity into a platform for healing and global impact has seen her latest book, When Hearts Heal, rise to No.1 across multiple countries. Natasha Leigh Bray, once a single mother facing hardship, is now a celebrated businesswoman empowering others to heal and thrive.
The anthology quickly climbed the Amazon charts, reaching No.1 in the UK, Australia, Germany, and Italy, and landing at No.2 in the United States. Remarkably, the book now appears alongside works by international thought leaders like Jay Shetty and Gabor Maté—whose work has notably inspired Natasha’s own journey in the healing space.
Now aged 38, Natasha’s life began on a council estate in a small South Wales town. Enduring a childhood filled with chronic trauma, abuse and bullying, she emerged as a multi-award-winning Success Mastery Coach, Spiritual Teacher and Healer. Since launching her business in 2017, she has earned over $9 million and worked with thousands of entrepreneurs across 106 countries. This book marks the next chapter in her mission to uplift others by sharing transformative stories and strategies.
When Hearts Heal features 18 contributors from around the world—including experts from the UK, Australia, Poland, Turkey, Italy, Canada and the USA—many of whom have been trained by Natasha herself through her School of Healing Mastery. Each chapter blends heartfelt experience with professional expertise, offering insights into emotional, generational and relational healing.
At the heart of the book lies HeartHealing™, a unique approach developed by Natasha that integrates psychology, spirituality, and trauma-informed practice with the science of the heart. It’s a method designed to unlock deep transformation, and one that forms the foundation of her goal to “heal 10 million people worldwide”.
Through When Hearts Heal, readers are invited to understand and heal their own stories. All launch proceeds are being donated to Little Lives UK, a charity supporting disadvantaged children through counselling and access to technology.
Natasha, who was recently flown to the US to star in a new multi award-winning Amazon Prime film, Zero Limits, alongside The Secret’s Dr Joe Vitale, who wrote the foreword to ‘When Hearts Heal’, said; “My mission is to heal ten million hearts. I truly believe that this is how we break cycles and create a better world for our future generations. I believe if the people around me had healed their own hearts, I would not have suffered the way I did in my childhood. I am a mother to two children and I want a better world for them, and ALL children. This is how we create it.”
She added: “Joe Vitale, described this book as a ‘portal to healing’, and that meant so much as with this book we hope to be able to open up healing to many who may not have explored the power of the heart in healing before. It is centred around my own methodology of HeartHealing™ – a methodology I developed after I had ‘healed myself’ to overcome significant childhood trauma, which had a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing, life, relationships and business success. I then created a system which enabled me to teach this to others, and for them to then heal others – as my goal is to create a global ripple effect of millions of people who are then able to move forward freely, no longer trapped by trauma. I truly believe when hearts heal, families heal and the world heals and that is why this work is so important to me.”
“I have a mission to impact millions of hearts across the world and so I trained other Drs, psychologists and professionals in my method. This book brings together some of the expertise and wisdom from these people. From overcoming burnout and addiction to reshaping identity and reclaiming one’s voice, every chapter reveals a unique facet of the human experience, offering powerful, practical wisdom for those who are ready to lead, love, and live differently. Whether you are interested in the neuroscience behind the ‘heart-brain’, the energetic impact of unhealed wounds, or how to create legacy-level change through healing, When Hearts Heal has it all.” said Natasha.
Qualified in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Social Work, Behaviour Change and Psychology, Natasha drew on her own experiences of trauma from childhood abuse and domestic violence, as well as those she helped when working as a social worker to create something she believes is more powerful.
She said: “I used to be a specialist rapid intervention social worker in the field of addictions and mental health. There was a lot of red tape. I felt like the tools were surface level and that true transformation needed something deeper – I went out and created that something deeper.“ Clients describe it as “more powerful than decades of therapy”.
With this book she hopes to share knowledge, and real life experiences, to help others see how they can heal themselves, overcome their limits and improve their mental wellbeing for more success. Each contribution enables the reader to take ownership of their own transformation and focuses on different topics from overcoming limits, to improving mental health, and creating sustainable success -including chapters on limitless potential, grief, addiction, ADHD and feminine leadership.
Natasha, who also has two other bestselling books under her belt is widely recognised as making a huge impact with her work. She recently won 2 awards in the Women Changing the World Awards – The People’s Choice Impact Award – Recognising the global reach and profound life-changing impact of HeartHealing™ across 106 countries worldwide; and Well-being & Wellness Programmes – Honouring the HeartHealing™ Certification as a globally award-winning programme, setting a new standard for subconscious and emotional healing. She has also won The Ultimate Entrepreneur Award in 2024 and was named in 35 under 35 with Management Today.
Following the book launch, Natasha flies to America for the red carpet film premiere with Joe Vitale and the rest of the cast of Zero Limits where HeartHealing will be featured in a global film that has already won 15 awards at film festivals.
