I was raised in Lancaster, rooted in wellness, kindness, creativity, love and connection to the divine. I have a deep respect and love for our planet and all her inhabitants. I’ve always loved caring for others and in 2001, on September 11th, I answered the loud call to become a Nurse. I am honoured to have served for 15 years wearing my Nurses hat in a variety of care settings. The majority of my experience is in women’s health. I have held space for people, mostly women, during some of the most vulnerable, emotionally charged and challenging moments of life. I strived for years to care for the people I saw in a holistic, heart centred and feminine way. To empower them in their health, wellbeing and lives. To connect them with their power, honouring their body’s ability to heal. To trust their intuition and allow their knowing to be their guide. But after years of feeling bound within the structure of our western healthcare systems, I decided to hang up my Nurses hat in 2021. It was with a heavy heart and a subtle knowing that my days of serving women were far from over.

 

And then I became a mother. To a daughter. Suddenly, the flickering flame of an interest in women centred work became a raging fire of passion and devotion to women. A need to be part of the change I want to see. For my daughter and all the daughters. For us. For our ancestors. Not only was I struggling to navigate the metamorphic matrescence journey, moving from maiden to mother, but I was raising a little woman too. I discovered that my stories of a traumatic birth, overwhelm, societal pressures and isolation without my “village” did not only belong to me. That was a comfort and a catalyst for me to take action. Motherhood broke me open. And for a long time, my pieces were scattered. I was forced to truly face my wounds around anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse. My healing journey is long and ongoing. And I’m now ready to allow my story to become medicine for others. I don't want to be the only one benefitting from all this hard work! I have pieced myself together anew, grieved my old self, and filled the cracks with the gold of healing, connection with sisters, empowerment and purpose. Like all of us, I continue to evolve. And I see motherhood and my daughter as my greatest teachers and blessings. The separation wound runs deep. It threatens our experiences of life, our bonds with our children, loved ones and ourselves. It impacts our safety, purpose, health and wellbeing. And so it continues through generations. Until women like you and me say "no". Thank you for saying "yes" to saying no by being here!  ​

 

Creativity has been a lifeline for me throughout my life. My art work was recently exhibited at The Witches Revival Festival, 2024. I have sold multiple commissioned drawings and paintings, and I am a self-taught jeweller and silversmith. I enjoy creativity as a powerful approach to reflection, healing, expression and activism. I have experience in acting and celebrate the benefits of embodying different characters to more deeply understand our own. I find exploring the voice through playing with how we speak, making somatic sound and singing to be deeply nourishing, enlightening and empowering. I love to dance and move every day. Some days that looks like yoga, drawing from my yoga teacher training experience. Other days it’s dancing with my daughter in the kitchen whilst stirring a pot of something nourishing. And I do love a good somatic experience! But my favourite movement medicine is hoop dancing. My sacred circle serves as my portal to the flow state. Being a hoop dancer has truly changed my life for the better! You may have seen my hoop videos on Instagram. If you are one of my loyal followers, thank you so much for all your love and support throughout the years, and for being here now.​ I’m excited to include medicinal movement in my offerings soon.

 

Day to day you'll find me caressing moss, hugging trees, smelling the roses, talking to creatures and shrieking with delight when I find a wild mushroom. Of course, making my loving presence known to the local fairies. My alter is constantly adorned with sacred items from nature and from loved ones (many "magic rocks" from my daughter). I listen for the messages from nature, outside and within us. We are nature! For a long time I was too scared to accept, let alone share, all these facets of myself (hello, witch wound). I lost my voice and my way. Being in circle with women has helped me remember, free myself and find the courage to say "this is me". My intention is ultimately to nurture our pure, deeply loving connection with ourselves. Then we can find our own ways of experiencing, celebrating and sharing our magick and unique gifts with the world. I truly believe that when we know who we are, and live in sincere courageous alignment with ourselves and our beliefs, we empower other women to embody their own truths. We become sunlit candles in the rain. We are powerful. We are wild and free. We are sovereign. That's magick! ​
