Why choose Purple House?

Grada and Peter share their knowledge and experiences without reservation. They are truly inspirational and amazing healers and teachers. I was fortunate enough to attend a two day reflexology course with Grada and found it one of the best experiences ever! I will be attending as many of their workshops as possible!

I have known and worked with Grada for over a decade. She has an extraordinary healing ability. She knows exactly what is required for you personally and gets to the heart of your issues within minutes of entering her room. Her honesty, compassion and professionalism make you feel so comfortable and relaxed straight away, whether in person or via a distant session. There is complete absence of judgement. “She has seen and heard it all” she says, and I have no doubt that this is true because her sincere desire to ease human suffering makes her a magnet for people in extreme stress and trauma. I highly recommend Grada to anyone who wants to let go of their pain, past and history, so they can live a life of wellbeing and ease.

I came to the Purple House with boils, acne and scars all over my face and neck. I had suffered from acne for 5 years. After taking the Ultimate Vitality Boost my skin cleared up within weeks.

Hi Grada,

I wanted to say thank you for the inner child/parent healing meditation you put in your Facebook group. I watched it and my nan and pop who have passed came through and as I was breathing in I felt an intense warmth in my body and lots of tears flowed.

I also visualized myself as a baby and my parents as a baby. Thank you again, 

Hello Grada,

Must apologise for not sending my story sooner.
It’s probably a good thing as it has enabled me to heal since I have been following your suggestions (with great success) since last seeing you.

The following is my story:

28 years ago I developed cervical cancer and was given a 10% chance of survival unless I had extensive ray treatment.

After a lot of thought I decided to go down that track.

I didn’t realise at the time that there was not a lot of care given when radiation treatment was administered.

A lot of damage was done to my soft tissue.

This treatment made me extremely ill and spent many months in and out of hospital but finally after 12 months I was on the road to recover.

The radiation treatment left me with a lifetime legacy of bad digestion and bowel
obstructions.

10 years after the treatment I had to have a piece cut out of my bowel.

The Ray also made me extremely sensitive to so many foods whereby I would spend a whole week debilitated with vomiting and diarrhoea- this went on for 25 years.

Three years ago, I finished up in hospital again unable to stop vomiting and diarrhoea.

After a couple of days, and after the medical team told me there was nothing they could do to help me.

They wheeled me to my sons car and sent us on our way.

Arrived at my son’s place, straight -to bed and he phoned the Purple House to make an appointment with Grada for the next day.

Grada took one look at me and said “we have a lot of work to do”.

And so she did – the healing was simply amazing and I left with a lot of things to take to boost my digestion: Betaine HCL, Beet Flow, Diatomaceous Earth and many suggestions, one being fermented foods to heal and seal my gut.

I can not explain how different I felt within 24 hours after seeing Grada. 

I have gone on to make my own sauerkraut over the years and always have this for breakfast.

A few months ago, I was feeling what I thought was pain in my hip.

Some days the pain was so great I was having trouble walking.

I went to the doctor and had an MRI and bone Density test.

I found that my facet joints had multilevel degenerative changes.

Also, that I had severely reduced bone density in my lumber spine (osteoporosis) with risks of fractures.

It was advised by my Doctor that I commence injections of Prolia.

After looking up the side affects of this I decided to phone Grada at the Purple House once again and I got an appointment immediately.

After all her normal testing and wonderful healing she assured me that I could be quite normal again in a very short time.

The secret is not Vit D and calcium, but Magnesium and Boron to bring the calcium from the muscles and soft tissues back into your bones.

It is now nearly 4 weeks since I saw Grada and I am now free of pain and feel much stronger and nearly back to my normal busy lifestyle, conducting my businesses in the busy season.

I am looking forward to many more adventures in the future.

In my seventies being fit and healthy!

All my gratitude and love to Grada at the Purple House

I had the privilege to attend a weekend workshop hosted by Grada recently.
For years I’ve been on a journey to heal myself, trying to eat all the right foods, take the right supplements, finding the right balance with work, but still feeling drained, looking exhausted, not realizing that I was carrying all this sadness within. Thinking if I didn’t think about things they would just go away, thinking that was how I was meant to react to events, looking at them from a distance, if I kept things at a distance they couldn’t hurt me.
Well now I have a better understanding about how our emotions drain our life force. I have tools to help me express my feelings and also a greater understanding and compassion for others, as we are all the same, all connected. The biggest change for me apart from physically looking alive again was awareness of who I am! It’s ok to be me. It’s ok to be genuine and real, instead of always thinking I must say the right things and do the right things so I don’t upset people. Now knowing this comes from my childhood, mustn’t upset mum or dad – anyway I’m loving the person I am becoming, I’m loving that if I haven’t anything to say thats ok too.
I love how my husband can cuddle me and I can feel his energy because I have shown him now how to connect with his Dantien (womb space), amazed at his energy and how safe it makes me feel.
And might I add I’ve never had energy ever like this before!
Thankyou Grada, I’ve always been aware how much you and Peter laugh, I hear you laughing easily all day at work and it makes me smile, your energy is constantly flowing like a little stream for everyone you come into contact with, inspiring, genuine and real.
Thankyou Universe, thankyou Grada

Grada and Peter are amazing, when you are feeling like you are beyond help they can help. I have been working with them for years.

Beautiful atmosphere, beautiful people!
I’m a 100% healthier and happier physically & mentally since I started going to the Purple House. Thank you so much Grada!
I recommend it to everyone and have had friends & families go there as well and are now changing their lives for the better.
Highly recommended!

Hi Grada
I thought I would send you an update on Isla since seeing you – she had a low grade fever later that day that came every afternoon for a week along with a cough. She’s been taking all the supplements like a champ and we wormed everyone in the house and cleaned/vacuumed it top to toe. Isla has been soooo much happier, relaxed, we’re on day 18 of no soiling, she’s self initiating to go to the toilet, changing herself if she’s a little damp from wee (this has NEVER happened) and not fighting me about toileting either. 
The difference already is incredible and I can only hope it continues. 
I’m sooooo delighted for Isla and very grateful to you for fitting us in, it’s given both of us hope for the future and a much needed break of an awful cycle. 
Thank you again

I love learning from Grada, she is so interesting to listen to, like a wise wizard / sorceress! I take it all on board and always do my best to action what I’ve learnt. I didn’t share this with anybody else Grada, but on our very first Surge to Success group meeting – during the class I could see a light around you (like a halo) it was so bright… I would blink or look away a few times to check if my eyes were playing tricks on me – but it very much there.
When I write in my gratefulness journal, you come up a lot. Very grateful we met many years ago and have continued a relationship of healing and growth. I am very grateful of how much I’ve developed (and am still healing and growing). My only regret is that I wasn’t aware of what I know now a lot sooner…but I also realise and accept that this is part of my journey…and I have the tools and knowledge now.

Hi Grada, just wanted to share with you an experience I had whilst driving home today.
I had to pull over to the side of the road, as my body experienced an intense surge of heat and my face became hot and red. I sat being present in my body as I observed these feelings of gushing energy surging through and out of the top of my head – almost like an explosion (no, it wasn’t a hot flush either!) – almost a sense of release and relief.
I felt this afternoon’s session peeled a complete layer off me and left me feeling at peace. I wanted to thank you so much for reminding me to be present and in touch with myself in order to succeed. I have found that the work I have been doing on myself has also resonated with my husband and children. I know it is not a coincidence that they too have been experiencing major shifts within themselves.
My daughter will be attending your Reflexology weekend and my husband has expressed interest in the Men’s course.
Thankyou from my heart Grada – you are an inspiration and a beautiful lady.

Thanks for this Grada, I have heard about it but timing is everything and now I can really hear it…. practise now.
It was an immense pleasure to share the surge to success… tender moments, hilarious moments with moments of subtle yet profound awakening. Thank you to all who shared the weekly group and enjoy the get togethers…I’m excited to keep in touch with what you are considering and sharing even though I’m not there in person.
Lots of love, happiness and peace xx

A huge thanks to Grada for hosting SURGE to SUCCESS
The weeks passed so quickly. I am still processing all the information. Perhaps the most valuable bit to get my head around is the unconscious mind versus the conscious ‘trickster’ mind. I can justify any & everything given enough time BUT now 2+2 doesn’t always =4. The time spent with Grada & other like-minded caring women was a worthwhile investment in myself.

The more I work with Grada, the deeper my understanding.
My daughter has suffered from tummy pain – mainly so the last 12 months. I used to think this was from lack of water, magnesium etc. but now I realise it goes so much deeper beyond the physical. I laid her down and told her to tell me how she was feeling “angry”. It was today I realised she has a lot of anger built up. Usually, I would tell her to breathe and have some alone time. This time, instead of suppressing those feelings – I told her to imagine anger as a person. What colour is it etc. we invited it into her room to play with her toys. She gave it a cuddle. She told anger it was her friend. And then we finished off by throwing, kicking and biting a pillow.
I realise I have made mistakes parenting my first born…but if it wasn’t for these mistakes, I wouldn’t be the person I am becoming.
Today, I feel extremely grateful for the S to S course and what I’ve learnt – my own self development. I can think outside the box and approach things so much differently. Thank you Grada. You are making such a difference in this world.

When I initially saw the advertisement for this course (Surge to Success), I was very interested however I did not sign up straight away. I have been disappointed before with other courses I have attended so I was sceptical about the promises made by Grada. I deliberated over it for weeks until finally I decided to risk being disappointed again.
I am very happy to say I was not disappointed. I have learnt so much about my inner life and am now committed to practicing the techniques I learnt each and every day. I feel connected to myself, empowered and am truly loving myself more than I have ever done, warts and all.

I would recommend this course to you if you are interested in understanding and connecting to your energy field and gaining insight on how to deal with situations that arise in your life. It is all about energy and it isn’t complicated.

Take the plunge…

Grada has been a part of my healing journey and life for almost a decade, I came to her in such a broken condition and through her guidance, knowledge and management I started to heal, I began to function in the world again, I carried twins and delivered healthy babies. I see Grada as one of my mentors through my own journey of self discovery, she is constantly working to learn more, grow more and help others. Grada explains it like it is and is happy to share her own experiences so we can learn, She is a vital part of my core support group, and I cannot recommend her or her husband Peter highly enough.

“You look stunning”
“ Your eyes look different”
“ The sun is beaming from you”’
“ Have you done something with your hair’’
“ You’ve totally transformed”
Those are just some of the comments from people in the days following the Surge to success weekend! Amazing I know… however rewind to the days/months and years before and my body told a different story.
A story that consisted of pain and trauma.

I had major spinal surgery at the age of 15, which involved months in hospital, flat on my back unable to even sit up and eventually learning to walk again. With that came a bucket load of emotions, some I didn’t even know what they were let alone know how to process them. Christmas and New Year was spent in hospital. The following months/year involved constant Physiotherapy, medical appointments, walking aids and feeling disconnected from friends.

Age 17 I had a motor vehicle accident which resulted in multiple broken bones and bleeding on the brain.

A few years after that I had my spine operated on again as the surgery I had when I was 15 needed to be done again.

Then in my early 20s I had another motor vehicle accident involving a truck, one that nearly took my life. 6 months in hospital in another state away from young son and a body almost broken from head to toe, a missing kidney, facing the rest of life in a wheel chair, 30+ operations and another bucket load of emotions I couldn’t process.

So fast forward to the present and I’m left with unprocessed/supressed emotions, physical pain in all of my limbs, living in a state of constant of fear, anxiety and terrified what life will throw at me next! Wondering what it feels like to feel “at peace”

That was until I did Surge to Success…. which takes us back to the compliments I started receiving.
“You look stunning” = I felt Stunning on the inside!
“ Your eyes look different” = The sadness and pain had gone from my eyes!
“ The sun is beaming from you” = I felt warmth in my heart!
“ Have you done something with your hair’’ = I had come alive again and so had my hair!
“ You’ve totally transformed”= I was no longer holding onto a lifetime of pain, sadness, anger, guilt, shame and fear!
I was suddenly feeling what it felt like to feel at peace!
I’m excited to now be living in a state of happiness not Fear!
I’m looking forward to the future with dreams not anxiety!
Surge to Success has changed my entire life! With a ripple effect on those close to me!

I felt much sadness and insecurity and an invisible woman who did not speak up for herself before the workshop began.
My struggles were tiredness, worthlessness, anxiety. I needed greater clarity and courage. My inner child needed parenting and I have learnt to identify when she needs the adult love and support.  I have learnt to train the mind from constant chatter. It feels more peaceful.

I feel grounded and stronger in my being. I have the courage to face my dark shadows because I have been supported by a group of participants with whom I have had to be extremely honest and open with as they have with me. We have been heard with compassion, been the keepers of each others stories, led gently and upheld at all times,  sometimes even with fun. All of this has helped me to feel known and understood and supported. We have come to feel comfortable with each other and accepted in such a safe environment, to share deeply.
We have also been led into sharing our negative traits and still reassured that we are a star. I am so grateful to have learnt these tools for better mental health.

I have learnt new computer skills to be more independent with producing my writing project. I feel a great sense of achievement in this and learnt that I was responsible to make this happen which I knew but made excuses of it being too hard.
I was already constantly working on this writing before the course, so its not been the motivation that has changed, but I have more confidence now to share my ideas or believe that I have a voice. I’m unsure of the next steps to make this happen but I am willing to trust that this will unfold in some way.

I thought I had grieved well in the loss of a child, but I still had deep feelings to deal with. I had held it together for my family’s sake for many years as my children were growing up, but this year when the anniversary of my child came around, I told each member of my family how I was feeling and I felt re- membered. The loose bits were dealt with and integrated into my being.

Throughout 2018 I have been fortunate to attend the Surge to Success 1, 2 and 3 courses.
At the time, I was feeling so tired, juggling a busy lifestyle, wearing many hats and trying to always be a great support to my loved ones. My battery was flat, I had lost my “mojo”. I lacked self confidence and always doubted myself.

S to S helped me to open up my heart fully again. I learnt to love myself with all of my heart. I understand now how to love and accept all aspects of who I am – the light and also the dark. As confronting as this was, I worked through these emotions to release distorted childhood memory that I was still living as my reality in adult life now. Working with my inner child helped me greatly in healing and nurturing emotions I experienced as a child. By reflecting on my story, I could collate all the jigsaw pieces together to form the puzzle of my life.

I realised that I held onto so much sadness deep within me that had been there a very long time – possibly ingrained in my DNA. I also realized that my reality was in fact a reflection of everything within me – the positive and the negative.

I had been living inside my incessant monkey mind head bubble and learnt how to quickly move into my quieter core within myself. This has helped me cope much better with outside stresses of daily life – to remain in my own state of peace instead of trying to pull the monkey off everyone elses back. I now put myself first! A huge breakthrough and so empowering. I now express deep compassion not only for others but also for myself. My husband told me
recently that I seem more assertive and he is delighted to witness a confidence and assertiveness. I have taken off the mask to reveal the authentic me. I now have a voice! Moving forward, I have sets my goals high and pave the way with shoulders held back, love in my heart and volume in my words.

I have learnt to trust in my higher self and intuition and this trust has been beneficial in learning healing corrections at Surge to Success. I no longer question if I am “doing things right”. I know that whatever comes to me is correct.

I have so very much enjoyed the company of other women – the sharing of experiences and stories which have resonated within my own heart. Lessons learnt from others. Grada is a wonderful teacher – her passion comes through – often revealing the raw truth of our emotion. The truth was confronting for me but cut through the barriers to deep healing. My purpose is totally clear now … to love and be loved – unconditionally. And guess what… I have my mojo back!!!

Grada’s Surge to Success program enabled me to open myself up to a whole new level of deep inner healing. I feel so thankful for Grada & for her huge effort at putting a life changing program together.  

To this day I am still using all the tips & tools that I have learnt from the weekend workshop.

I am progressing along my healing journey & this is how Surge to Success has helped me grow;

I felt safe to drop my “protective” wall & express my feelings that had been holding me in silence and pain my whole life.

I felt a huge shift in my energy. You don’t know what you are carrying until you’ve let go of it. I felt light as if a huge bag of bricks had been lifted off my body (well it did!).

I felt peaceful & content, my mind was free of clutter, my confidence opened, I couldn’t stop smiling & laughing for a whole week. What a release it was to feel joyful!

Minor things weren’t bothering me. I felt so complete & whole as a person, as if the part of me who I thought had been missing my whole life happened to spark up inside for the very first time.

I was able to hold conversations with people instead of feeling like a nervous wreck on the inside & wanting to sink and run away from speaking.

It made me realize I can & it is OK to express my voice & feelings. This has been a huge hurdle in my life.

I felt alive.

Instead of sitting on the couch drinking my 2^nd or 3rd morning coffee while contemplating about life & trying to find motivation…  I was up out of bed, walking and doing.

I wasn’t over-thinking, waiting or procrastinating for life to find me!

As my heart started to bubble & open from expressing buried feelings, I felt fully supported by the workshop group. This was a huge deal because I am a reserved person & don’t like to share much of my personal life.

It also opened my eyes that no one is alone in suffering and so my wish is for everyone to experience this incredible program.

Before joining Surge to Success, it was daunting to say the least, to even think about it but once you take the courage, I promise you will thank yourself for it.

The healing & energy during the workshop was beautiful and moving.

Thank you Grada for being the amazing teacher & leader that you are. You have made a huge impact along my healing journey.

Hi Grada,

I wanted to give you an update on how I am.

I have been working harder than ever on myself, which is paying off incredibly. For your support and guidance I am truly grateful.

While the same challenges of each day exist, I am able to view them differently and not feel overwhelmed.

Whenever I feel something come up I say “I love myself for feeling (insert whatever the emotion is here)”. I can not believe how much difference it has made. This coupled with “but is this intrinsically true” have changed not only my life, but my family’s too.

On the weekend my daughter (14yo) said to me “I don’t know what it is but I feel so much good energy in the house today”. It made my day. It is so true that the mother is central to the vibe of the family. Having tried for years to do what is ‘right’ for my family, I never before have felt so strongly about investing in me and watching the benefits unfold for all of us.

Kids do learn from what they see and feel, not just what they are told.

I’m not just trying to be positive, I’ve tried that before. I’m simply acknowledging whatever comes up and seeing it for what it is. I’m teaching my girls to do that too. I think they get it on a deep level, I am sure they feel it too.

I am also careful about how I speak about money.

Financial wellbeing is a big issue for my husband and I, as I’m sure it is for many families. It has always impacted our relationship negativity, with him feeling he carries the financial pressures largely alone. We are working together to address this and it’s paying dividends! Well not literally yet, but it is amazing how when the action comes from a place of love not fear, how different the outcome. A work in progress, but we are heading in the right direction!

I could go on and on about the ‘coincidences’ I’ve observed and the awakening I feel. So many examples each day of how beautiful life is when you work to stay present.

One thing though, that I have not read about, but am really noticing is there seems to be more time.

More space, more time. Time feels slower and the days longer. My sleep is blissful. Most of the tome there is a stillness and a calm over us all which I am thrilled to have. It is so wonderful that this benefit alone makes me want to continue on this path.

With an attitude of gratitude,
