There is freedom from the emotional and spiritual wounds of abortion.
It cut deeper than anyone can see—leaving scars on both your heart and soul. But healing is possible, and you don't have to find it alone. The same place that holds your pain can become the source of your greatest freedom - your heart. Let's have a conversation that matters.
This is a space where you'll find
Grace That Meets You
Not where others think you should be, but exactly where you are right now—with all your questions, doubts, and fears. No prerequisites. No perfect words required.
Hands That Hold Your Story
Your story will be held with care, without judgment, and with the deep belief that every story—including yours—can be redeemed. You don't have to carry it alone anymore.
Hope That Feels Possible
Not the kind of hope that ignores your pain, but the kind that transforms it. Hope that doesn't ask you to forget, but helps you believe that healing is real—and so is your future.
A Heart Unshackled: Greta's Story of Redemption and Grace
I'm not sharing my story to impress you - I'm sharing it to give you hope
that if grace could reach me in the depths of shame, guilt, and regret -
it can reach you too.

What Grace Might Sound Like on Her
"I stopped pretending I was okay."
"I carried it for years… the secret, the shame, the story no one knew. I got good at pretending—smiling, performing, leading. But inside, I was sinking.
It wasn’t until I encountered this space that I realized healing was even an option. I didn’t have to carry it alone. I didn’t have to fake peace anymore.
Now? I still have scars, but I also have freedom. I’m learning to breathe again—and believe again."

"Grace met me in the silence."
I never told anyone—not even my closest friends. I was afraid of what they’d think.
But the truth is, I didn’t need their judgment. I already judged myself enough.
When I found this community, something shifted. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t forced. It was gentle. Grace-filled.
Healing started slowly, in quiet places. And now? I’m learning to live unshackled—one tender step at a time.

"I never thought healing was for me."
I believed the lie that I had to be punished forever. That I deserved to stay stuck.
When I found Hearts Unshackled, it was like someone finally looked me in the eye and said, “You still matter.
I read the words. I cried through the guide. I started praying again.
And slowly, my heart began to believe what my soul always knew: I am not beyond redemption. I am not alone. And I am still worthy of love.

MEET THE FOUNDER & GUIDE
From silenced by shame to leading with grace, Greta Bates is living proof that redemption is possible — and freedom is obtainable.
When asked about the weight of her work, Greta simply smiles and says: "God told me I'm not the exception — I'm the evidence of His relentless love. Evidence that He still heals, still redeems, and still raises up women like me… especially those who were never expected to rise."
As a Certified Professional & Trauma-Informed Coach and founder of Hearts Unshackled™, Greta walks with post-abortive women who are ready to rise from the pain of their past and reclaim their voice.
She's not here to condemn or convince. She's here to walk with women after the silence has settled, after the shame has taken root — when grace is the only way forward.
A survivor herself, Greta created this movement from lived experience, not theory. She guides women through spiritual restoration and personal transformation — equipping them to release guilt, reclaim identity, and rise into unapologetic authenticity.
She isn't just a witness to what's possible. She is the proof.
