About…
I hold sacred space for deep reconnection & embodiment, through one to one & group sessions, workshops and events.
Guiding women home to their felt sense is, for me, not simply healing — it is reclamation. A remembering of the body as sanctuary, as compass, as source. I've witnessed again and again that a woman who truly feels herself becomes sovereign.
Every woman carries her own divine wisdom & sacred medicine
My work is a series of thresholds.
I work with women who sense that something older and deeper is asking to be met — in the body, in the lineage, in the life that is quietly asking to change shape. Women at crossroads. Women in transition. Women who have arrived somewhere they cannot name, and know that pushing through is no longer the answer.
The pathways I hold move through womb and lineage work, ceremonial rites of passage, and the slow, embodied work of coming home to yourself — through the cycles of your body, the rhythms of the earth, and the stories carried in your line. Some women come for one-to-one work. Some are called into a longer journey. The work meets each woman where she is, and calls her forward when she is ready.
The power of the feminine
There is a power in the feminine that our culture has largely forgotten how to name. Not the power of striving or achieving, but something older — rooted in the body, responsive to the seasons, carried quietly through the women who came before us.
I believe our greatest strength lives in what we have been taught to push past: the softness, the grief, the cycles, the knowing that rises not from the mind but from somewhere deeper. Coming home to that is not a luxury. It is a reclamation.
I help women reclaim and reconnect with this power within themselves, finding the balance in their lives between “the doing” and “the being”, guiding them to connect to their bodies, and the cycles of their lives, to begin to listen to their felt sense and to their deep rivers of intuition. Helping women root, rise, shine and align with their divine feminine embodied wisdom.
I am here to guide you.
Guiding women home
My work with women is a deeply embodied soul calling, one I have been listening to, weaving and alchemising within me for the last 20 years. I create and hold sacred spaces for women wishing to find a way back home to their bodies, their pelvis, their womb spaces, so they may reclaim their connection to the cycles of their lives and their deeply rooted divine feminine embodied wisdom.
What I bring has been earned slowly, in the body, over two decades of my own returning. It is not theory. It is lived — composted through grief, through loss, through the slow reclaiming of my own sovereignty. When I hold space for you, I am walking beside you on a path I know from the inside.
My story of returning
-
My journey back home—to my body, myself, and my truth—began in 1997, in my late twenties. I travelled to Crete feeling raw, having most definitely lost my roar. My self-confidence and self-esteem were at an all-time low as I tried to recover from a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship—one that had left me frozen, though I didn’t yet realize it.
Looking back, I can see how deeply disconnected I was from my body, still carrying the trauma of that experience. I was guarded, holding onto many limiting beliefs, and deeply sceptical of anything that hinted at healing. I didn’t believe my body held any wisdom. In fact, I was completely separated from it—disassociated from my feminine essence. To be blunt, I was switched off and shut down.
What happened in Crete changed the entire trajectory of my life. It marked the beginning of my return—my Saturn return, as I later came to understand—and even now, 26 years later, I’m still returning, spiralling in and out of that unfolding journey.
While in Crete, I received reflexology and healing from someone I can only describe now as an earth angel—someone I’ve never met again. She crossed my path briefly but opened the gateway to my healing. From that moment, everything began to shift. Crete was the beginning of my return, the first step on the path toward my soul’s calling.
-
I was so moved by the experience of reflexology that I returned from that holiday with a clear inner calling to train as a reflexologist. It felt as though I was being guided to work with the body — and with that, my healing journey truly began. The very first time I placed my hands on someone, I heard a voice within whisper, “This is your calling.”
From there, I went on to train as a massage therapist and aromatherapist. The first oils I ever worked with were Frankincense, Elemi, and Vetiver. I remember leaving that first session feeling the power of nature and the earth flowing through me — balanced, grounded, and awakened to a deeper, ancient calling. That moment marked a turning point; I left my job as a PA and began to dedicate myself to women’s health through massage and healing.
It was a time of profound growth and transformation. Around the age of thirty, I read Women Who Run With the Wolves — a book that stirred something deep within me. The reclamation of my feminine had begun, slowly but surely, and there was no turning back.
-
At thirty-six, I became a mother to a beautiful and wonderful son. I followed my gut instinct and a deep body wisdom, choosing to birth him at home. It was an incredible experience — raw, powerful, and transformative. Birth and motherhood were immense transitions to navigate. I remember a vivid image from those early days: standing on a bridge, saying goodbye to my old self and stepping toward something entirely new — something unknown, for which I had no map. It was challenging, amazing, and humbling all at once.
The loss of my second pregnancy marked another significant and sacred portal of healing. I experienced a septic miscarriage — what I now recognize as a near-death experience. The shock of the loss and the physical trauma of septic shock left me spiralling into a deep depression. I struggled to come to terms with the grief while trying to stay present — to be a “good enough” mother — all as I attempted to heal my profoundly tired body. The depth of grief and loss was immense. Yet, in that darkness, something began to stir: an energetic portal opened within me, calling me back to the core of myself. My pelvis and my womb began to call me home.
It was during this time that I felt an undeniable pull to support women on their own postpartum journeys. I trained with Suzanne Yates, specialising in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum massage and healing. Through holding space for women — supporting them in their sacred transitions, offering embodied touch, and guiding closing-the-bones rituals — I began to notice a pattern. Again and again, I witnessed how easily we become disconnected from our pelvis and womb after birth, after pregnancy loss, or after trauma.
I recognised the same within myself — a sense of leaking energy, a disregulated nervous system, and a deep disconnection from my womb space. I could feel how my own loss had frozen and shut me down once more. I knew this needed to be alchemised.
-
I knew then that I had to reconnect deeply with my womb, my pelvis, and my body — she was calling me home. I could feel an ache, a heaviness within me, a deep sorrow, a weight I could no longer ignore. Looking back, I realise my womb had been crying out for help. I was carrying layers upon layers of unacknowledged grief, longing simply to be held, witnessed, and honoured.
At forty-nine, I began my journey into my womb. When I signed up for the Shamanic Womb Massage training with The Sanctuary of Sophia, thinking this would be a wonderful offering for my clients, and that was true. But more than that, it became a profound initiation — a doorway into my own deep healing and a reconnection with my divine, embodied feminine wisdom.
-
My heart knew the deep pain and well of grief I had stored and buried within my womb space — the unspoken narratives, the shadow stories I had tucked so deeply inside that I didn’t even know they were there. They were too painful, too tender — soaked in shame and sorrow. The grief of my termination at eighteen, from which I completely numbed out; the wounds of lost self-worth; the boundary ruptures I endured; the times I people-pleased, silenced myself, or dimmed my light to stay safe or be loved. Each unspoken no, each unheard voice, each moment of shrinking — all of it was held in the depths of my body.
Every single thing we experience as women is carried within the pelvic bowl — the sacred vessel of our womb space. And not only our own stories, but the echoes of our mothers’ and grandmothers’ experiences live there too. There was so much to unpack, and it has taken time — time to reawaken the neural pathways, to return to my body, to remember my inherent worth. Time to dissolve confusion and doubt, to stand in my sovereign self, and to open to joy — a deep, sustaining joy and vitality that flows from within.
This path has led me to uncover the shadows of my mother wound and father wound, the ancestral imprints, and the collective wound of the feminine. It has guided me to remember my witch wound, to bring light to my distrust of the feminine — the wound of patriarchy itself. Through this work, I’ve learned that it is safe to reveal my deeply feminine, intuitive, empathic self. Safe to root into this earth and know I belong here — grounded, supported, and alive. From this place, I have begun to create from my beautiful womb space, to remember why I came here, to reconnect with my fire, and to reclaim my soul light.
And yet, more than anything, this journey has taken love — deep, unconditional love. Love for myself. Love for every version of the woman I have ever been, and for the woman I am now. I feel the love and holding of the women who have supported me through this sacred portal of healing.
I have been deeply, deeply held — and that, in itself, has been a profound initiation: learning to allow myself to be held by the feminine, and the masculine. I have been witnessed and supported by many beautiful womb sisters throughout my three year-long spirals of Womb Priestess Apprenticeship and The Shamanic Way of the Womb facilitators’ retreat — each journey guiding me through reclamation, remembrance, and the recovery of self.
-
Now, I deeply trust my embodied connection — my womb, my inner compass. I follow my intuition, allowing it to guide me ever deeper into embodied healing, movement, and dance — as pathways of connection, transformation, and deep remembering.
At fifty-four, I have begun to come online with my felt sense — to let my body lead, to move and be moved by what she knows. I am meeting my edges, exploring the spaces where expansion and vulnerability intertwine. Sacred Alchemical Dance of Transformation has become yet another gateway — an exquisite unraveling of self. In the movement, I have felt a spark ignite in my root — a spark I believed long lost. I am rediscovering pleasure, vitality, and juice. My body is speaking to me in a new language… or perhaps, I am listening from a deeper place.
The magic of dance has awakened new channels within me — opening pathways of energy, perception, and presence. I have always been deeply empathic, yet now I see the unseen with greater clarity and grace. Dance has become my prayer, my grounding, my rising.
We root to rise.
-
This embodied healing journey through body and womb, through the feminine, has taken time and a deep love, for at its root it has been, and always will be, a path of love. It has been a powerful gift of reclamation of my feminine essence a reconnection of my embodied divine feminine wisdom and the ancient wisdom of my lineage.
A wisdom that shows us that when we awaken to the power of our womb, we connect to our authenticity, our truth, our creativity, divinity and our tender vulnerability. This is the work I offer women. It is one of my deepest wishes that as women we reclaim our connection to our divine, embodied feminine wisdom.
When we return to our bodies and womb spaces — when we cultivate a living relationship with this sacred vessel — we pass that remembrance on to the next generation. In doing so, we help to birth a new world into being. We remember that our wisdom has always lived within us, waiting to be trusted, nurtured, and embodied. We remember that we are sovereign.
I long to offer women the space to remember and reconnect with their deep body wisdom — to remember who they are at their core, to release the shackles of patriarchy that have kept them bound, and to reclaim the stories of their lives. To reweave the fabric of their being with joy, connection, and deep trust.
This is a call to your soul. This is a remembering. This is a coming home.
